GFSXR Editor

antix

When using the GSFXR Editor I can create a sound that I like and then click the save button. This allows me to save the sound into my project which is great. If I create another sound and then click the save button, the original sound is overwritten... it does not ask for a new sound name.

Could this behavior be changed so that when you click save... you get to supply a name and a new sound is created in the project every time? That would be cool.

I think that should be possible. Btw, the editor is completely open-source, you can find it here:

https://github.com/gideros/gideros/tree/master/studio_addons/GSFXREditor

If you add an add-on and add it to the user add-ons then you can test out any modifications, then submit your changes via github.

@SinisterSoft are you kidding me? Do you mean gsfrxr was coded in lua? Using GIDEROS ?

SinisterSoft

Not kidding, yes lua, yes gideros.

We can all make add-ons for the editor now btw and submit them for inclusion.

@SinisterSoft I guess I could modify the editor. I really just want to make sound effects, not create editors that make sounds effects to work the way they probably should in the first place. Back to WAV files I suppose

It's not a major change, you possibly just have to set a flag if the SFX has been saved already, then if it has to save using a different name, eg append a number after the file name and before the extender.

The idea was to make the add-on system so it's easy for anyone who normally uses Gideros to help contribute to make the Editor better.

The add-ons are not restricted to making SFX files, they are for any type of file. I included a sample for loading tilemaps for example.

Someone, for example, could make an add on to display 3D images, csv files, etc.
