enjoy

I added a screenshot of an early build that is near ready for public.
There are some minor bugs, I think I will release it till the end of the week

hey, nice work my friend.

I think you should change the Y axis to Elevation, that Room Info box is a nice touch to let you know which room your editing

Ok. That will make it easier to understand for modding beginners. Thanks for your feedback I try to make RDTedit as userfriendly as possible.

Yeah, about the room preview, I'm also planning a door and enemy preview window

looking at is kind of hard to comment on what can be added or improved, but when the program is with us, we can analyze and tell you what would be good to add, so you can add the tips on new versions of software.

congratulations for the initiative my friend, this is a big step for the RE hack world.

Nice work, I guess me and monkeyman may aswell stop it with our tool then, you seem to be combfortable working on an rdt editor. Let us know if you need any more information to help filter down searches n stuff like that. I don't know about anyone else but calculating the rotation seems to be a lot easier in decimal rather than in hex(Well, for me anyway). So could you add a feature to allow the user to input decimal then convert back into hex when the rdt is saved?

-400=North, 0=East, 400=South, 800=West (relative to the ingame map)

I might integrate that yeah. As I said before, I will try to make this app noob friendly as possible. Thanks for the advice

Everything to scan out item values/codes would be helpful. Searching for items is a bit more complicated then searching enemy n' door codes.

I have located a lot of minor bugs that have to be fixed, but I think there will be a release this weekend

Well usually, USUALLY and I can't stress that enough item data starts with:
"4E ID 02 31" but there are some exceptions (which is a pain in the nut). But these exceptions are no different in what you see in door data, not all doors start with "3B ID 01 31" (check out electronic doors).

The minimum amount of bytes you need to use to filter down an item is 22 bytes, after those 22 bytes is either usually followed by a duplicate item or the model data related to that item.

When you look at the byte which controls item glow, take a look at it in bits as it is easier to control what this byte does. (I can't remember which byte it is, 19 I think). You can do things like change the colour of the glow, and also make the item invisible while it glows, or no glow at all. (any combo)

There are also points in RDT code where it shows the points where key items are actually used. For example:

06 21 00 00 6d b5 7c be 08 07 34 08 0a 00 56 00 01 00 2c 08 05 31 00 00
(This is in the licker hallway where you use the wire on the electronic shutter system)

The underlined section shows the actual item plus the amount of times it can be used. The header for this type of data is "06 21 00 00" I never really worked out other values (coordinates for example), but this data could be useful for the creation of modified puzzles.

One last bit of info I can think of for now is sprite data:

3A 00 II (II=ITEM) the pattern is usually like that, for example there are 4 types of glass I could find 3A 00 10 to 3A 00 13. This is a small amount of data to work with, but they usually come in batches, like lots of smoke, lots of fire, lots of glass, so theyre easy to find.

Below is room1000.rdt This more than likely a lot of fire and smoke.

The Mortician, Good work!

Thanks for the knowledge, that you provided Evilmarshy

I don't think i will integrate that in the first release build, I will have to look more into this matter first, but its definately helpful to know.

very congratulations The Mortician this is a very useful tool keep the good work

When program RDTedit will be ready?

good - now i want the tool
when it is ready?

when its done.
