I've been trying out new versions of the SLX editor for its NL support complete with its QoL features however I came across a couple of bugs in its recent version

Hotkeys not accepted - I have to click on the main editor itself to use hotkeys simply because when I try to use them in the window, nothing happens or it only moves the view point of the level

OBS is 100% Free, no strings attached. Download and set it up is as simple as that.

I take it you aren't familiar with screen capture software yet?

Fortunately finding free screen capture software is easy to come by. My personal recommendation is OBS. It'll allow you to add a source capture, tinker with audio settings, and even choose your output settings. Here's the web page if you need it

That way you shan't need to use a camera for your screen capture

There's been a bit of game clearing and testing between and after the new pc.

I've been busy with Legends ZA and Star Crossed World

I can finally play games like Lethal Company, Peak, The Karters 2 and possibly others

Platinum'd Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, Once Upon a Katamari, and got all trophies for the PS4 version of Sonic Mania and have been working my way through Sonic Forces

And I've resumed editing for Ratchet & Clank

I couldn't answer this earlier but for the whole In game color. I feel you're gonna need more than my choice to decide. I can say the Baja Teal for ingame if I really want to but I want to know other's input if Baja Teal is a favorable choice, or if there's something else that contrasts without being too bright or hard on the eyes. Not to mention accessibility issues considering if say someone is colorblind, but thats another discussion.

Blow me away, I wish I can make levels like this with the original sets. I struggle to make stuff look good when using the original stuff.

Forgive the double post but I have recently logged in with my new PC, even recovering things from the old PC

I apologize if any work on my projects is slow, I might be prioritizing lets plays until ideas start flowing again.
I'm trying to make some levels that serve the purpose of prepping for a final level in a rank. My vacation...and Sonic Racing Cross Worlds might have thrown things off for me. Life tends to be that way.

Even if things seem difficult, You'll have to pull yourself back up one way or another. Slow Progress is still progress after all.

Been playing through the Sly Cooper Series since acquiring the Vita Collection and going through my backlog to continue it. I'm playing through Sly 2 and im at the halfway point

I've said my input that the magenta is a bit eye searing at point were I have to turn it off when im making the levels. I'm standing on these choices for what i'd suggest.

Basic RGB value - default it to the original color, change it by sliding the values to something more easy on the eyes, include presets via a dropdown menu if you're worried about those spending time in the options

A softer contrasting color - While colors like magenta and yellow are contrasting, finding a contrasting color that's visible enough without it being blindingly bright would be a better solution, colors like Purple or Light Teal (think the color of baja blast) may be more easy on the eyes

Quote from: WillLem on August 21, 2025, 11:39:00 PMNamida, what did you mean about generating these images automatically? Would this be instead of creating the style, or as a way of quickly adding new pieces to it? Or as something in the Editor that can create them on-the-fly?

Look I may be jumping to conclusions here but can we not make an image generator for the editor? that is not where I want this to go. I suggested blank pieces for use of erasing and grouping, something simple, nothing more. I am not keen on the idea of fake art created by something scraping from the internet and plagiarizing. I have a huge stance against that, keep it out of NL.

Within a few days I'll be away to visit my friends in California. I'll be absent until then.

Here's the pieces, Curves were done by Plom510. While Plom and I are fine taking credit, this is meant to be a default set. dont rename this to gigalem_erasers or plom_erasers, and don't rename it as such in the "style.ini" file. just leaving it as "erasers" is fine for this case

I can picture something like this
one each of a 1x1 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 32x32 & 64x64 block
Convex and Concave curves, 16x16,32x32 & 64x64
Slopes of the same size
Long slopes and curves 16x32
long piece resizable 4x16, piece can double as a ruler

This can be applied to the legacy and community editions to NL, Basically a series of blank white shapes, curves and such of varying sizes for the purpose of erasing and grouping. I was a bit hesitant to suggest it but Namida didn't mind the idea when I spoke about it on Discord.

While the System test set has some pieces that can fit, im talking Concave and Convex curves, S pen slopes, Right Angle slopes of varying degrees even resizable pieces for measuring or mass erasing.
