Sprite Forge v0.4.1

Fixed

• Find window now opens with all its data wired up and the format dropdown working.

Sprite Forge v0.4.0

Added

• Template editor window for creating batches of items from a single layout.
• Bulk "Save Changes" action in the item list context menu, covering the whole selection.
• Sprite optimizer now shows exactly which sprites were removed, and why.
• Copying properties now carries the server item data along.

Fixed

• Creating, deleting and importing items now count as pending changes, so Compile no longer skips them.
• Pasting properties no longer marks unrelated sprites as changed, which could blank them on compile.
• Deleting a sprite that was not loaded yet now works instead of silently doing nothing.
• Slicer cuts are appended to the existing set instead of replacing it.
• Changing an object's dimensions resizes its sprite index instead of leaving stale slots.
• Slice Editor no longer misses the project state when it opens.

Sprite Forge v0.3.1

Added

• Editable layers in the object preview with a vertical stepper and a show-all toggle for compositing.
• Animation timeline panel with shared playback controls.
• Top and bottom dockable zones, with panel locking.
• Open Folder and Reload Files actions in the Lua Scripts dialog.
• Project manifest (.frg) support to resolve paths before Lua scripts run.
• Duplicate a server item for a client.
• Star button in the About dialog.
• Confirmation dialog when replacing sprites via drag-and-drop or import.

Fixed

• Multi-tile sprites now stack in the correct order (matches the reference renderer).
• Tooltips no longer get clipped by parent containers with hidden overflow.
• Pasting into item description (and other textareas) works again; the global image-paste listener now ignores textareas and contenteditable fields.
• items.xml is preserved on save with in-place patching, plus a confirmation before rewriting.

Changed

• Formats can now declare a full alpha channel at registration, so RGBA sprites render with correct transparency.
• Toolbar buttons in the object preview use the styled tooltip component (hover to see labels).

Sprite Forge v0.3.0

Added

• Lua-scripted custom formats: drop a .lua script into the scripts folder to add a new file format with its own categories, load dialog title, and read/write logic; no app rebuild required.
• Tools → Lua Scripts dialog with an enable/disable toggle, script browser, and syntax-highlighted Lua editor for live edits and reloads.
• Format scripts declare their own property schema (sections, fields, visibility, grids), so each format shows only the editor controls it actually supports.
• Slice/crop editor window with layers, marching-ants selection, transform mode, rectangular pixel select, proximity grid snap, and layer keyboard ops.
• New project dialog (File → New…) for creating empty .dat/.spr projects with version, transparency, extended, frame groups, and improved animations toggles.
• Right-click Import… on an item to replace it; when multiple objects are selected in the import dialog, the first replaces the clicked item and the rest are added as new.
• In-app confirm modal for replace flows.
• Auto-calculate exact size for items from their non-transparent pixel bounds.
• Expanded client version table to cover 7.10–12.86.
• Fallback to .otfi metadata + version 1099 when the DAT signature is unrecognized.

Fixed

• Sprite optimizer now applies the temp file atomically and refuses to overwrite the original with itself, eliminating a case where the SPR file could be deleted on compile.
• Light, Displacement, and Minimap fields no longer appear twice on wide property panels; the Visuals block and the body columns share a single breakpoint.

Performance

• Faster compiles on large projects: the DAT file is no longer rewritten when only sprites changed, and the backup copy runs in parallel with sprite-state capture instead of blocking the write.

Sprite Forge v0.2.2

Added

• Server items (OTB) are now created, synced, and cleaned up live as you add, import, or delete items, instead of only on compile, with a Create button in the server item panel.
• Last button jumps to the final item in both list panels.

Fixed

• Imported sprites no longer turn blank/transparent after saving on transparent clients (e.g. 10.98).
• Multi-tile object thumbnails now render at full height in the lists.

Sprite Forge v0.2.1

Added

• In-place item removal with undo/redo.
• Configurable default sprite canvas zoom in Preferences.
• Exported objects panel with double-click to view.
• Draggable, dockable panels with a persistent layout.
• Background context menu to create or import directly in listings.
• Rich object preview sidebar in the import dialog.
• Timestamped .bak backup of the DAT/SPR before each save.
• On-demand OBD/SFP viewer with server-item dedup in the import dialog.
• Drag-and-drop reordering of favorites.
• Single-file format auto-detection in the open dialog.

Fixed

• Update notes now render as formatted markdown instead of raw text.
• Writes a placeholder for missing DAT object IDs to prevent corruption on save.
• Sprite sheet export now decodes with the correct SPR alpha format.
• Centers the toggle switch thumb.

Performance

• Faster OTB loading via binary transfer.

Sprite Forge v0.2.0

Added

• Optional auto-play of animation when opening an animated object (off by default, toggle in Settings).
• Two-column large view mode for the item and sprite lists.
• Editable address bar to type or paste a path.
• Server items shown as icon-only statuses, side by side.
• Open Recent reopens the full DAT/SPR/OTFI/OTB set.
• Remembers the OTB per DAT/SPR, removing the manual Load OTB menu.
• Pick items.otb via a dedicated in-app file dialog.
• Detects DAT/SPR/OTFI by extension, with an asset detail panel.
• Create-missing-OTB-items and reload-attributes actions.
• Side-by-side server item (OTB/XML) editing.
• Import/export dialogs with multi-selection support.

Changed

• Compact menubar header with a check-for-updates action.

Fixed

• Respects OTFI feature flags on save and writes the .otfi file.
• Sheet import now uses explicit object geometry.
• Imported pack items count toward the category total.

Sprite Forge v0.1.4

Added

• Honors .otfi overrides when loading custom clients, so DAT/SPR files with non-standard extended/transparency/frame-durations/frame-groups flags now open correctly.
• Similarity search for items.
• Copy sprite to clipboard button.

Fixed

• Magenta background appearing on sheet imports.
• Thumbnail rendering for tall objects in the list.
