TODO List (last updated September 24th, 2001)   These are the items that we plan on adding to Wally in future versions... we might already be working on some of them. The ones at the top of each section are probably of a higher priority, although we've been known to do stuff just because it's cool :-) If this stuff doesn't get ya excited, then nothing will! If you think we've missed a useful feature that you need, please read through this list FIRST. If you don't see it, feel free to email us or post a suggestion on the message board. Bugs: Any known major bugs ALWAYS have priority... Polyline freaks out when you use the scroll bars while drawing. Tools: Smooth antiliased brush, airbrush Circle/Ellipse Text Flood Fill Hue-Saturation only (Flood Fill Recolor tool) Use SpotMarker to implement "Fade Last Stroke" (need one per doc?) Sharpen Smudge tool Toggle spray tools to either blend or exact color placement Spray Darken/Lighten Polygon, Regular Polygon Drop Shadow Drip tool Add color tolerance (+/- Range) to appropriate tools for improved 24-bit support Magic Wand Filters: Combine Minimum/Maximum Hue and Saturation filter Historgram Equalization filter Resize / Resample Buttonize (Neal needs more info -- Please send email) Bump Map Add an "Apply" Button MMX support (???) Remove Seams Filter Texture Creation Filters: Fractal Clouds Wood grain Fractal textures Wood planks (sort of like tiled marble) Metal (brushed, panels, etc.) Liquids Other Games And Image File Formats: Quake 3: Arena (full 32 bit support with alpha channel) Tribes ??? Unreal Alien Vs Predator Main Wally Features: Alpha Channel editing Snap to grid File | Print... (DONE: standard view, tiled, with and without sub-mips) ...for .WADs (Halflife, Quake 1 & 2), thumbnails of the textures, name, and size are printed (option: print thumbnails of selected only) ...for .PAK files: print directory and file tree in two or three columns, listing all files contained within. Miscellaneous Wally Options: "Set as Wallpaper" option Cut and paste tools: (Neal: these are very time consuming to implement and the code may be broken for weeks at a time, so that's why they are here at the end of the list. I'd like to have them, but I feel it is more important to provide tools and features you can't find anywhere else. You can always use PaintShop Pro for cutouts in the meantime.) Rectangular cutout tool (partially completed) Freehand Resizing Scissors Lasso Magic Wand Select | Drawing Tool Fill Area (turns last stroke into a selection) Recently Completed (in version 1.56B, not yet released): Image Resize can now stretch to any size (whole image only) Print and Print Preview for single pictures (.BMP, .PNG, .JPG, .WAL, etc.), the image prints using the standard view, tiled, with and without sub-mips) New Fix Uneven Lighting Filter, for photographic textures, works best on images that are basically the same color shade. Much faster Color Optimization, for quicker loads of 24 bit images An automatic "what's new" message BUGFIX: BMPs File / New initial size is wrong (first time only) BUGFIX: Scrolled view windows have clipping problem BUGFIX: Zoom way out, view is too small BUGFIX: Missing sub-mips (in view) on File New BUGFIX: Mis-aligned background when scrolling Completed: PNG file format BUGFIX: Undo doesn't clear document modified flag (minor) Update drawing tools to use an RGB color, instead of a palette index 24 bit TGA/JPG support for Quake 3: Arena Add color tolerance (+/- Range) to appropriate tools for improved 24-bit support Color Replacer Recolor Spray Recolor Flood Fill Browsing/saving/loading from .PAK files Tools are now fully 24 bit (internally) Clone and Rubber Stamp Speed ups Overhaul of browsing textures: Move to a split-pane explorer view for easier directory navigation Add rename/delete/move operations Add scrolling with arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn Clean-up thumbnail views for images larger than 128x128 Animated texture view; also animate liquid textures Randomized texture view for Half-Life textures starting with '-' Improved Drawing Tools toolbar - resizable; double-wide in 800x600 res Decal Tool Soften (Water Drop blend tool) SiN and Heretic2 game format support Marble grout is now drawn properly Zoom-Out (for editing large textures that don't fit entirely on screen) Quake1 WAD files Grid Rectangular Selection (masking) Mirror Filter Limited Resizing Filter TGA support TGA support Wally is © Ty Matthews and Neal White III.
