Scripts and Binaries Release

script_editor

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.5.0

Highlights

Binary resource file support

Unencrypted .bin files are now supported, and may be opened and saved from Gear Studio directly. Some types of data are currently unsupported and will be passed through unmodified on save (e.g. Wii TPL textures, audio arrays).

New tab: Script Editor

A prototype script editor with a preview is now available (note: the preview is an incomplete simulation, and may be inaccurate). It supports loading scripts from resource files and extracted script.bin files. It will likely be reworked in the future, but is currently functional and can be used to modify, delete, and create new actions.

New tab: Cursor Mask Editor

When opening select.bin, a tab called "Cursor Mask" will appear alongside the Sprites tab. It shows the mask used at the character select screen to determine which character your cursor is hovering over. From here, you can import or export masks as PNG files, as well as hover your mouse over the preview or click on the characters on the list to the left to highlight all pixels with that value.

Warning!

This is pre-release software. As such, it may contain bugs, and may make your computer a splode, so keep backups of anything you plan to edit, and use this program at your own risk. Gear Studio is provided as-is. I take no responsibility for any tragedies resulting from its use.
