  P1Xel Editor 4.1.0 — Art banks, fullscreen windows & clipboard tools Stable

  CyfrowyNomada released this 2026-10-09 10:46:07 +02:00 | 28 commits to main since this release

  4.1 — Art banks, fullscreen windows & clipboard tools

  • Screen selection clipboard — rubber-band rectangle select in the Screen Designer (Select tool), copy the tiles + attributes, then stamp the block anywhere — repeatedly, with edge clipping and one undo per stamp.
  • Tile copy/paste — copy the current 8×8 tile (or the 16×16 meta block in Meta mode) and stamp it onto any slot in the tile/sprite/bank browser; zone- and bank-edge aware.

  Art banks & fullscreen windows (detail)

  • Art banks — up to 16 extra banks of 192 tiles per project. Banks are paged right in the tile browser, and Add/Remove Art Bank on the menu grows or shrinks the project (one undo step each).
  • Fullscreen art windows — dedicated 20×18 editors for title-screen-style art on the Art tab. Every window carries its own ROM bank selector, and switching banks keeps the window's content.
  • 1× native proofer — proof each art window exactly at Game Boy resolution (1×–4×) before it leaves the editor.
  • Stamp guards — bank tiles stamp only onto art windows, so bank art never leaks into core-tileset screens.
  • Undo/redo — bank add/remove and art window edits join the same 20-level history as everything else.
  • Exports — bank<k>.chr per bank (192-tile VRAM bank 1 dumps), art.tlm records for the windows, [banks] / [art_windows] sections in catalog.toml, and meta.dat v2 with an art descriptor table.
  • Build ROM — a generated banks.rgbasm (labeled ROMX sections + size asserts) is assembled into the ROM, so the bank data is already in the image — ready for engine consumption, contract documented.

  Compatibility

  • Old .p1x projects (format v1/v2) open unchanged. The bank and art-window data lives in format v3, written only when a project actually has banks.
  • Exports are additive: a project without banks produces the byte-identical v1 contract (golden-gate proven).
  • meta.dat v2 appears only when banks or art windows exist — the loader can branch on the version byte alone.
  • ROM ceiling note: Build ROM links with --tiny, so bank content must fit the 32 KiB ROM budget — 16 banks × 3072 bytes alone exceed it. If the project outgrows the budget, drop --tiny from rgblink and the bank sections place into real ROM banks unchanged.

  Engine integration

  The bank contract is documented end-to-end for the engine author in docs/CONTRACT-BANKS.md: file layouts, attribute semantics, the generated ArtBank<K>Data labels, a CGB load recipe, and the open engine-side work list. The editor and its exports are live; the engine consumes them through that contract.
