All rights reserved!@{UI} @ENDNODE @NODE History "Programming History of PowerCrawler" @TOC "Main" @{B}V 1.00@{UB} o First release o Unregistered Version only @{B}V 1.10@{UB} o Removed a bug that could cause a Crash or Dead-Lock when aborting the Map-Settings o Changed look of some GUI-Objects (like Pop-Up Menus) o Removed some minor bugs o Added Online-Help o Gadgets are now highlighted when pressing a Shortcut o New logo (raytraced with MaxonCinema 4D V1.5, 256 cols) o Added some more Shortcuts o Popup Menus on Edit-Screen can now also be accessed by Keyboard o Completely redone Catalog Files (now V 2.0). The ones from PowerCrawler 1.00 can't be used anymore. o New Function: Flipping actual Block/Brush o Improved Information Window o PowerCrawler can now be forced to use the Built In Language (TOOLTYPE "NOLOCALE") o PowerCrawler can now be forced to load a Catalog even for the Built In Language (TOOLTYPE "FORCELOCALE") o Tooltypes can now be changed from inside the program o Edit-Screen has now a lot more Menus o Map Window can now be changed between Backdrop-Mode and Normal-Mode o Toolbox can now be closed o When using the Scrollers in the Map-Window for Page- Scrolling not one Page was scrolled but one Page minus one Block. (No real bug, but I think it's better so!) o If internal PIC-Loader or IFF-Library returns 'This is not an Iff-File' you can now choose between aborting or trying to load the picture using the Datatypes-Loader. o PowerCrawler can now be iconified when holding down SHIFT while pressing the CLOSE-GADGET, the QUIT-GADGET or ESC. o New Tooltypes "ICONIFYX", "ICONIFYY", "NICESTRING" o The coordinates of the Scrollers in the Map-Window were not calculated correctly. o Powercrawler can now use external Picture-Loaders (see Developer-Files) o It's now possible to pop up the Brush-PopUp-Menu under the Mouse Pointer o The Reflexion-Table Editor had (and still seems to have) some bugs. o If a Window would be too large when using the selected Font, Topaz.font 8 will be used automatically. (Well, not all windows do this, yet!) @{B}V 1.10+@{UB} o Added my EMail address to documentation @{B}V 1.20@{UB} o Users who want to register now only need a Keyfile that removes the restrictions and the Nerve Requester. o New Mask-Blit-Routine. Should make the rendering of Multi-Layer Maps work correctly on GFX-Boards. The Tooltypes @{" MASKBMF " LINK "TTMASKBMF"} and @{" PREZOOMMASKBMF " LINK "TTPREZOOMMASKBMF"} probably have to be changed, too, when using GFX-Board Screenmodes. @ENDNODE @NODE Introduction "Introduction" @TOC "Main" PowerCrawler is a new Map-Editor with some @{" Features " LINK "Features"} never seen before. It is OS-Conform and should (I don't know) also work on GFX-Boards. Is is very easy to use and supports Localization, external Loaders/Savers, Data- types and the Iff.Library.

By doing this PowerCrawler can change the palette of Color 0 on the Edit-Screen without changing the look of the Blocks too much. As Intuition doesn't support BACKGROUNDPEN-Changing correctly this will help to obtain a better look of the GUI on the Edit-Screen, because many times color 0 is used for Black and with a black BACKGROUNDPEN the GUI just doesn't look good. It also causes Problems with the TEXTPEN which is also Black and that leads to invisible texts. When OFF the program changes the palette of Color 0 only for Requesters and Setting-Windows.

Therefore PowerCrawler by default takes a certain number of Strings and calcs its' Length in Pixels by using TextLength().

What for hell is a Super-Cursor??? Well for reasons of speed the program usually only draws a rectangle with two diagonal lines in the Map-Window to show where the actual Block will be drawn. But if you have picked up a big Group of Blocks or you have a big Brush you often don't know if it will be put at the right place, so if you don't touch your Mouse/Keyboard for a certain period of time (controlled by MARKINGTICKS) the program will draw the Block/Brush temporary. As soon as you touch the the Mouse/Keyboard again it will turn into a normal Cursor. @{b}Note:@{ub} A value of 0 causes the program to use only the normal Cursor. Of course when you select the Super-Cursor to be active "@{U}ALWAYS@{UU}" in the @{" Edit-Menus " LINK "EMSuperCursor"} you will get a Super-Cursor. @{B}MARKINGTICKS@{UB} just sets the delay for "@{U}STANDARD DELAY@{UU}". @ENDNODE @NODE TTRelZoom "Tooltypes: RELZOOM=" @TOC "Tooltypes" @{b}Type :@{ub} NUMBER @{b}Parameter :@{ub} 1 .. 100 @{b}Default :@{ub} 20 Description: Defines the relative Zoom-Factor that is applied when pressing <+> or <-> or LMB with ALT-RIGHT / ALT-RIGHT+SHIFT-RIGHT hold down in the Map-Window. @ENDNODE @NODE TTForceLocale "Tooltypes: FORCELOCALE" @TOC "Tooltypes" @{b}Type :@{ub} BOOLEAN @{b}Parameter :@{ub} @{b}Default :@{ub} FALSE Description: If TRUE, PowerCrawler tries to load a Catalog-File for the BuiltIn-Language (English).

Supported formats are IFF-ILBM and any format supplied by your installed DATATYPES. Look at @{" Menus " LINK "MainMenuSettings"} to see how to change the Picture-Load- Routine (there's no autodetecting!). The size of the Blocks can be from @{b} 1 x 1 @{ub} upto @{b} 255 x 255 @{ub}. Each Block is given a number that starts with 0 (upper left corner) and increases by one when going right. @{b}Note:@{ub} If the last Block on the right border doesn't fit exactly then it will be skipped. The program does this WIDTH OF BLOCK-PICTURE IN PIXEL ------------------------------- WIDTH OF BLOCK IN PIXEL cutting any decimals to calc the number of Blocks horizontally. @{b}Example:@{ub} Your picture has a size of 320 x 256 and you use 16 x 16 Blocks. The numbers given to the Blocks are like this: [ 0] [ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [...] [...] [ 18] [ 19] [ 20] [ 21] [ 22] [ 23] [...] [...] [ 38] [ 39] [ 40] [...] [...] ... [...] ... [...] ... ... ... [300] [301] [302] [303] [...] [...] [318] [319] @{b}Note:@{ub} If your Map is in Byte-Mode then the program won't check if you pick up a Block with a number greater than 255. It will automatically cut it to a byte. (256 becomes 0, 280 becomes 24, ...) The picture can also contain a mask (integrated in the IFF-ILBM-File or loaded by "Hand") which will be used when your map has more than one layer. In this case the Blocks in the layer 2, 3, 4, ... (depending how much layers you use) will be "blitted" using the Mask (just like the Matte-Mode in DPaint). See @{" Mask " LINK "ManualMask"} for more details about that! After having load the picture and done the @{"Map-Settings" LINK "ManualMapSettings"} you can enter the @{" Edit-Mode" LINK "ManualEditingMaps"} using the according Gadget or Menu. @ENDNODE
