The default SmileTool sprite editor is serviceable but glitchy at times, and touch control is just not precise enough to my taste. Introducing "Th. GRP Editor" by Japanese creator Th. (pronounced Thu as in enthuse), featuring precision button controls! You can jump right ahead to draw your own sprites on the touch screen, or press X to go to the ADVANCED MENU and load the default sprite/bg sheet there. You may then edit the sprites directly or crop/copy/paste to another GRP page. The ADVANCED MENU allows you to load/save graphics, apply to font areas, change palette colors, export animation code to another slot, and much more. Play around the settings to fit your own needs! User friendly tools include the ordinary pen, bucket fill, shape, area select, eraser, eye dropper, and simple animation tool. Your palette area is on the top right of the touch screen, and you can switch between 15 palette sets. You can turn the grid on or off, and each tool has their own set of controls shown on the top right area of the top screen. Control is fairly intuitive, but detailed instructions can be found at the beginning of the codes. Hope this tool makes your sprite-production life easier than the default!

Instructions:

(The creator envisions using your stylus to draw rough drafts and buttons to make pixel-by-pixel adjustments. Keep this in mind if you've just switched from the built-in SmileTool.) Basic controls: D-pad: Move pen or touch screen's cursor A: Use chosen tool B: Eraser (essentially transparent-colored pen) X: Advanced Menu Y: Eye dropper Hold L: controls for tools on the touch screen +D-pad up/down: Switch tools +D-pad left/right: Switch tool shapes +X: Redo +Y: Undo (up to 9 most recent actions) Each tool may have extra controls as shown in the top-right corner of the top screen Hold R: controls for colors on the touch screen +D-pad: change palette set/color or RGB values +X: Redo +Y: Undo (up to 9) Hold L&R: Controls for edit area on the top screen +D-pad: Move Edit Area's cursor +A/B: Switch to other GRP (toggle between pages 0, 1, 4, 5; GRP2 and 3 are reserved for this editor) +X/Y: Expand/Shrink Edit Area Circle pad: Move Edit Area's cursor (shortcut for pressing L+R+D-pad) Some of the above controls can be done via the touch screen, but not as exhaustive. More Notes:
    1.
  • Leave the program on for 30 seconds without any action and it will enter screensaver mode, good for Miiverse posting. You can turn it off or change the timing in @OPTION. 2.
  • If you switch palette sets after SELECTING (SELCT tool) an area to be copied, the colors will change a la palette swap style. Specifically, if any color in the selected area is in the active palette set, it will be replaced with the same color number of the other sets you switch to. 3.
  • My favorite feature is CROP: use the SELECT (SELCT) tool, hold A and D-pad to select an area, and hold L or R while releasing A to crop. Then maybe hold L&R and A to switch to a new page and paste. That's how I copy/crop/paste stuff from the default sprite sheet to my custom sheet. 4.
  • I don't really use the basic animation feature myself (it only manipulates the UV aspect), but if someone wants to use it I can research the controls in more detail. 5.
  • You can get the sprite/bg ID by multiplying the "left" number by 32 then add the "top" number. E.g. the letter N sprite's left number is 02 and top is 14, so its sprite ID is 2*32+14 or 78. 6.
  • Ask questions! It took me 3 days to get used to this editor and I NEVER go back to the built-in sprite tool.

Notes:

V1.69 has been the stable version since Aug 2015, so this is likely to be the final version. Th. (pronounced Thu as in enthuse) is the creator and LohadL is the translator.

There is an update of this software that include the ability to resize images, preview before opening a file and more features. Here is the diary of the author on miiverse. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/thanks_0u0/diary
Alright, let me know if you need any help. I had it down as "Alpaca theme song" since it's from Th.'s another game Alpaca [RQ5XE4D]. Also Th. kindly put down the code for condensed word spacing (for the top screen function info), so don't forget to comment out/remove comment as such:

I was wondering why I couldn't fit some text XD. Thanks for the code, I'll use it in the translation! Also, translating the theme names is really hard. For some names, I got lazy and made my own. Could you translate the names for me so I can put them in the translation? Thank you!

Can you translate the latest version of this program (https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAADAAB2V0gSttxwzA)? It has a lot more features, and I really want to use the latest version of the tool, but it's all in Japanese.
I'll reply to this (your) thread from now on so that raimondz won't get unwanted notifications all the time. Tsugaru is the old name for western Aomori which features the best sunset and winter scenery.

Ok, thank you! And I already see that you've translated some text lol

What's going to happen when I'm finished with the translation? Would the key be posted on this page, or should I make a new one? Also, there should be a way to add two translators since technically you translated a lot of it and I'm just adding it to the latest version along with some new translations.

That's the least of my worries -- I'm more interested in seeing whether you can finish before Th. randomly releases another version (he has to since people make requests all the time). There are many ways to credit properly and we can talk about it after it's done.

Could I have the button translations as well? I'm confused on some. After that, I'll be mostly done.

Also, I added a version-exclusive theme called "Patriotic" to celebrate the newest version of Th.'s GRP Editor being translated. Here's a pic:

WHAT?! I was expecting this to be a month-long project, even for myself. What about ALL of the dialogs? The revamped advance menu? The help section (line 7531-8038 for example)? Those were the 40% I was worrying about, as the buttons and the themes were the easier parts. Sorry if I sound too passionate, (and I love your patriot theme so much that I'm willing to let you take all the credit for this version,) but I don't want to see it released without all of the Japanese text (not counting the comments) translated. And I WILL help you until it's 100% done, so let's take it slow. (I'll post the controls a day or two later. The dancing help section itself might take a week.)

I guess it might take a while. But I at least have most of the main parts done except for some button names. I guess I'll get to the Advanced Menu and its content later (also the help section is lit).

Do you have the button names? I'm still confused on them 😅.

Sorry, Splatoon 2 is just so much fun :P I'll try to get to it tonight. And what do you mean by "CMPLX" where it said たんい? "Complex"? I translated as "UNIT" because that's to adjust the amount of cursor movement. Move by 1 unit or 8 units or 16.

Nice! Just made my life a lot easier.

Is that what it's supposed to be? I used Google Translate and it translated to "Complex". I'll fix that asap.

Is your YouTube dead, or are you still trying to get it to work?

I'm trying to scrape together the money for a new capture card. I'll be back in business sooner or later.

Are the button translations ready? I haven't been able to translate much since I don't know a lot of Japanese.

SpoilerCfw is cheaper.

Cfw doesn't have the option to just show the top screen or make the playback window full screen yet as far as I know. The wireless streaming does seem cool though.
