jsdt1

This is a personal project not intended for release. There will be bugs and it's not feature-complete, but it served its purpose for me.

JSDT1 is a web-based editor for blocks as extracted using Paul Siramy's DT1 Tools, and then compiled back again using the same tool. Really it's just a UI for faster editing.

"Install"

• Download the /dist folder.
• Install a local webserver, for instance:
  • Web Server for Chrome extension
  • Live Server extension for VS Code
  • http-server NPM package for node / JS
  • http.server Python package
  • Any other local HTTP server
• Launch the /dist folder using this
• Go to http://localhost:<your-port-here>

Usage

For the most part it should be fairly self explanatory. There is also a Help subpage included in the app. Here is my use-case:

• Have a bunch of rendered images from Blender D2Tools
• "Add New Empty BlocK" since we're creating an entirely new tileset
• On the left navigation bar go to FS (or whatever type of tile you want to do)
• In the toolbar, keep adding new blocks until you have as many as your total rendered images for this tile type.
• Repeat for other tile types.
• In the right column, "Image Library", import all images you want for this type.
• Hit "Apply All" to use use all these images in the blocks on the left. Make sure you have enough blocks for this.
• You can also manually click on a block on the left and select an image from the library.
• In the FS > Block Editor toolbar you can select the Grid icon. Then you can draw collision flags.
• Finally, go back to the INI tab and check to make sure all settings are as desired.
• Press "Save All", or any of the individual export options.
• Use the exported .txt blocklist and .png tilesheet with DT1 Tools.

Tips

• You can export the INI as a CSV file which allows you to very quickly mass-edit Main / Sub indexes, and then import it back in to save as INI again.
• The X and Y of the tiles should be handled automatically but the program is not 100% bugfree so either check or once you're done with manual changes, save everything and reimport everything in a clean refreshed page, type by type. This should almost certainly not cause issues.
• In WS / WD mode there is a Mask option that quickly masks out certain parts of the walls. It's optional and might save some time, but doesn't cover everything of course. But it's good enough for a first iteration before cleaning up the tilesheet in your image editor of choice.
• Not bugfree, try not to do too many crazy things at once.
