Important

Our underlying tools have issues with OneDrive, neither DSPRE nor ROMs should be in OneDrive

New Features & Major Additions

• Automatic Updates & Installer: DSPRE now features an installer and can automatically check for and download updates directly from GitHub.
• Externalized Editors for Performance: For significantly better performance and stability, the following editors have been externalized from the main window into their own dedicated windows:
  • Table Editor
  • Trainer Editor
  • NSBTX Editor
  • Event Editor
  • Matrix Editor
  • Header Editor
  • Map Editor
• Scripting & Code Revolution:
  • External Script Database: The script command database has been moved to external JSON files, allowing for easy community updates and modifications.
  • Plaintext Scripts: Scripts can now be imported/exported as plaintext .script files.
  • VSCode Integration: Added a new VSCode extension and an "Open in VSCode" button for seamless plaintext script editing.
  • Script Editor Enhancements: Added basic auto-complete, C-style comment support (//, /* */), and a Ctrl+S shortcut to save.
  • Improved Parameter View: Toggle between ID/Name view and ID/Number view for script parameters (e.g., see POTION instead of 17).
• New & Overhauled Editors:
  • Overworld BTX Editor: A new dedicated editor for overworld textures.
  • Wild Encounter Editor: Completely overhauled for both DPPt and HGSS.
  • In-Game Trade Editor: Added a brand new editor for modifying in-game trades.

Application & Infrastructure

• New File System: Settings, scripts, logs, and crash reports are now stored in %appdata%/DSPRE for better organization and Windows compatibility.
• Crash Reporter & Logging: A new system has been implemented to help diagnose and fix issues.
• Improved ROM Handling: General improvements to ROM loading and saving, improving reliability and enabling operations from environments like WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
• Startup Checks: DSPRE now checks for required tools and potential conflicts (like OneDrive) on startup and provides clear error messages.
• Platinum Synthovl: A new, graphical side-effect-free implementation for Platinum (now uses overlay_0122.bin).

Quality of Life Improvements

• Open Default ROM: A new setting to instantly launch a project on startup.
• Screenshot Feature: Added to the Event Editor.
