If I recall, someone wrote an FPG editor in Fenix, but I have been unable to find this editor. I need it so that I can edit FPGs on an old Mac G3 Powerbook that I carry around, and xnview (an X11 program) can view, but not modify, FPGs. Has anyone heard of this editor, and if so, know where I could obtain it? Thanks!

I believe Adherbal (that was his name on DIV-Arena) wrote one, but never released it. But maybe I'm wrong, if I'm correct there was also something like this being worked on by a Fenix team member.

But there is always the FPG commandline program. Or doesn't that one work under Mac os?

There is an official FPG tool made in Fenix by the Fenix team at that time. It is included in the 0.84a sourcebinaries; look here.

(Edit: Never mind, was the Windows version.)

While it's a very nice program, it has some bugs that you should get used to avoiding: do not maximize windows (you can't minimize them), do not save FPGs as "GUI.fpg" (there's a chance it replaces all the images in the FPG with it's own GUI files), and always make backups of your FPGs because sometimes it screws up the file while saving.

Htbaa: I checked the .app in the OS X binary distro, and the tarball that's on the fenix site... only fxc and fxi :(

The official tool is for Windows. Ah well... I've been using FPG EDIT under Virtual PC on my home Mac. I guess I can continue to wait until I get home to add/update graphics :)

Thanks for the help guys :)

You can always downloads the windows version of the official FPG editor and then compile it for mac. The source is there I seem to remember

Sorry, I meant it was in the 0.84a source. I zipped it up for you; look here.

Thanks for posting that for me. Unfortunately, the OS X version of Fenix doesn't support DLLs :(

But thanks again for helping out.

Figured out sort of a workaround. I just use fpg.exe under OS X DOSBox emulator :)
