Well, it's here. Pyro1588's Utility Pack consists of my sprite utility, two message row utilities (now with 'Fold Out' capability!), and viewport utility all strung together. Please let me know if this is helpful to you.

Why not use the attach feature and find out? From the descriptions, though, these really don't sound that helpful. Scrolling, auto-scroll works fine if I even use it, which I don't. Scrolling is a novelty thing, and not very practical at all. Sprites, from what I read in the other post it generates the setup code for you. Writing that out by hand takes about two minutes, max. Viewport, if it zooms in and out (eg. box opening) then there's already one.

okay, i guess i could just attach it.

message scrolling: mine is in windows, has an easier interface, and also supports text folding.

sprite init: yeah, it takes two minutes to do it by hand. it takes 15 seconds to do it with my util. it's not so much for an occasional sprite, but for a project i was working on that required several sprites per board to be initialized.

viewport: well, i just decided to make my own and package it with everthing else.

any other comments?

If you use a template .txt file then it probably takes less time to do than using this program....

Yeah, pyro how dare you try to contribute to the community!

How dare you dabble with a time saving device that might be of some help to newbies...

We all hate you now!

I just can't stand writing this anymore, HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME!

The golden rule is to just ignore Koji...

I was making the point that it's absurd to criticize a person for trying to help.

Exophase : Yes, but the platinum rule is that Exo's a doosh-bag(spelling?). :p

I was only defending pyro... in an ironic fashion.

EDIT : typo

Nice utility kit. Might help a bit if I ever make something. :p

But one thing that is annoying. On the viewport part, it apparently prints stuff to the form as well as the textbox. You might want to take that out.

Edit: Okay... apparently the reason it's printing to the form is because of a bug. It should be writing to the output textfile, but isn't. :p
