Description

Joel McCormick's AGI Picture Command Repeater is a tool to quickly repeat a picture operation over and over. Nice if you want to display a brick wall.

Joel McCormick wrote:

The AGI Picture Command Repeater, which I call AGI Repeat for short, is a small utility that I created after drawing a brick wall for Jen's Quest. Drawing the wall was tedious enough, but I decided I wanted to add highlights to the bricks. The task was incredibly boring, so I got to thinking it would be nice if there were some way to just draw something once and then repeat it at certain intervals across the picture resource. As far as I know, there wasn't any such utility, so I wrote it myself. The utility is not as feature rich as it could be (for example, I think it would be cool if an entire group of commands could be repeated), but at the moment I'm too involved with other projects to work on this thing anymore, and it is reasonably useful the way it is.

"Although this program is technically a beta release, it has been available for months, and I have yet to receive any bug reports or find any bugs myself, so it is fairly safe to download and use it. Just make sure you read the Readme.txt file that comes with it."


Features


Requirements


Version History

  • Version 1.02 Beta
  • Finally went ahead and made the program allow negative numbers for

offsets. The program was actually capable of handling them before, but the input boxes prevented the user from entering a negative sign (because the input boxes were created with the ES_NUMBER style...I had to create a subclass of CEdit to get the behavior I wanted).

Version 1.01 Beta

  • After using the program a little myself, I realized there was a crucial

omission: offsets for the commands. In this version, I have updated the program so that each command in the command list box has a number besIDE it that corresponds to the number that you can see above the command in the PicEdit buffer box. This makes it about ten million billion times easier to find the command you want to repeat.

Version 1.0 Beta

  • First release of the software. Works, but does not accept negative offsets.


Development Status

Further development of AGI Picture Command Repeater has been abandoned.

Known issues

It is possible to have the same picture file open in both AGI Repeat and PicEdit at the same time. If you do this, note that CHANGES MADE TO THE PICTURE IN ONE PROGRAM WILL NOT TAKE EFFECT IN THE OTHER PROGRAM UNTIL YOU RELOAD THE FILE. That is, if you create repetitions in AGI Repeat, those repetitions will not show up in PicEdit until you reload the file in PicEdit. If you make changes to the picture in PicEdit, those changes will not show up in AGI Repeat until you reload the file in AGI Repeat. This is very important, because if you make changes to the picture file in both programs without reloading the file in one of them first, you will lose some of your work.
