History Current Version 2.04.10.02 ----------------------------------------- * New Version! * Fixed the Maximize/Restore bug * New Resources in most sections * Other Stuff I may have missed * I will NOT IMPORT THE BLUE SHOES in tall section because it is impossible to even use it in a charset. There are too many colors. If someone wants to make it into 10 or less colors, I would be more than happy to import it. * Email me at darksavant0@vfemail.net for any bugs, suggestions, or any new resources. NO ATTACHMENTS, PRON, WAREZ, ROM REQUEST, OR ANYTHING ILLEGAL! For new resources, tell me what section to download it from on charas-project.net. And make the Subject : Charas.ex.exe. I will report any info and stuff to the other project members. * New official Charas.ex.exe website : http://charasex.multiverseworks.com. This site is only for the offline version and will always have the latest version and news updates. You can still get it at charas-project, in fact, we encourage it, but if you have doubts about your version, try our site. Updated weekly. v1.4.7.17 --------- * New Importer Dark Savant0 * New Program Manager and Coder GaryCXJK * New Multipurpose member Chronic * First official release by this three man team following two unnoficials * Many, many, MANY new resources in almost every place, from items(yes, ITEMS! I know your excited), to bodies * Fixes zoom function and adds variable zoom. * New spanish Language Translation for charas.ex * New division in the monsters section in which some become tall monsters in the "TALL MONSTERS 2" section * New source v1.3.5.9 -------- * New Importer 3Darkman * When you now change the set, Charas.EX will try to load the same resources in the actual set (Build a Char in Battle>1 and switch to Battle>2 and you see, what i mean) * Now a little "Statusbar" on the right side show the activ set-folder and the name of the resource under the mouse. The tooltip doesn't work right... * I convert (very quick and dirty) all the mid head, hair, items and body to the battle>1-3 sets Importer * Can now import battle-images from the battle-charset-generator * And also export (for pose1&2 simple give the same imagename, because Charas.EX will only write in the upper/lower part of the image) * Import from clipboard grouped: When you export in to the clipboard and edit it with a paint-programm and then you can import this with this function, then charas take the actual grouping-tabel. If you only change a little bit (for example, move the head only one pixel to the right) you must not set all colorgroups again and again. NOTE: Maybe there are problems with some programm. Paint Shop Pro for example. When use the clipboards to export to PSP and then back to Charas.EX the colors have changed! But when i export and import a resource in Charas.EX, no problem. When i copy the picture in PSP, no problem. Use the Windows-Paint programm for this small changings.
