Tools
From Trickster Development Wiki
These are the currently known tools out there for Trickster and can be utilized in your workflow. While information was meant to be free, these tools may not be, as the pursuit of perfection is hardly a penny-pinching venture.
Additional notes have been provided regarding the usage or description of the tools. Some are also not able to export into formats Trickster can use, but you can still utilize them in some way.
Map-based Tools
| Name | Description | How to Obtain | Pay Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TricksterMap | Allows you to do generally everything around maps in a clunky interface | Download Raymonf's Github Repository | Free | One of the OG tools |
| ZoneEditor | Allows you to change entity configuration points in a visual interface | Unsure | Paid | Generally just good for entity placement (e.g. portals, monsters, etc.) nothing really else. Unsure plans for distribution for this tool. |
| 卡巴拉岛 地图 编辑 器 1.2 (Kabbalah Island Map Editor 1.2) | Allows you to visually edit, modify, and create maps in layers. | Unsure. | Licensed | All-in-one layer editor. Where do you obtain this? How do you license it? How do we give this dev more money? |
MyShop-based Tools
| Name | Description | How to Obtain | Pay Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MyShop Editor | Allows you to visually edit your MyShop listings if they were configured correctly | Unsure. | Paid | Super good if you're lazy. Unsure plans for distribution for this tool. |
| Web GM Tool | Huge and incredibly powerful set of tools including spawning items, changing names, and more all from a visual web interface | Unsure. | Paid | SUPER powerful, cannot recommend enough. Unsure plans for distribution for this tool. |
| TSGiveaway | Give yourself items to your MyShop | Download Ragezone Mirror | Free | One of the OG tools. Doesn't work well with Paula files. |
| TScampMakeover | Edit MyCamp Visuals | Download Mirror Here | Free | One of the OG tools. Thank you to cor400 on the RageZone forums for the backup mirror link! |
NRI and Visuals-based Tools
| Name | Description | How to Obtain | Pay Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web Fuse Tool | Allows you to create different NRI's via a web interface | Unsure | Paid | Super good upgrade from Wan's Tool. Unsure plans for distribution for this tool. |
| Wan's Fuse Tool | Allows you to create different NRI's via a standalone interface | Contact Wan? Not suggested. | Good Luck | One of the OG tools, very hard to use allegedly |
| TNT | Extracts and compiles NRI's via a CLI | Download PyroSamurai's Github Repository | Free | One of the OG Tools |
| PalEdit | Edit and view Pal Files + BMP's | Download from PalEdit's official site | Free | Does not export to our format but you can pseudo-edit visually using a bmp of a char standing as a reference then use the colors you colorpicked in Cyotek |
| Cyotek Color Palette Editor | Export to our appropriate pal format (24-bit RGB VGA files) | Download from Cyotek's website | Free | This is the mega converter. Must have. |
| Fuse Batch Resize Tool | Uniformly pads items for animation standardization and bulk import | Download from mewsieworld's github | Free | Good for standardizing animations/assets. Not much else. |
| Pixel Composer | Bulk create and process images and animations | Buy off Steam or Download off Ttanasart-pt's Github Repo | Paid or Free | Powerful, powerful tool for sprite modification and animation. Honestly? Underpriced. Harder to run without paying for it--strongly recommend paying for it anyway. |
| Aseprite | Simple but powerful Sprite animation tool | Buy off Steam | Paid | Simple but well-known pixel art animator. |
| Palette Wizard | Edit and generate unique palettes | Buy off Steam | Paid | This makes really cool color palettes for things such as fuse creation and fashion. It does not export in our formats and would require Cyotek. |
| SpriteMancer | Edit animations and images in a work-flow environment | Buy off Steam | Paid | This, I plan on making cream effects with the most--it seems the most powerful for this. I am waiting on more research regarding the effects before going forward with this, but like PixelComposer, it's super powerful, and I anticipate good results. |
| Image2pixel | Converts images into pixel-based formats | Buy off Steam | Paid | It's simple but effective. I do not know if this exports in a format that CalatZ's fuse tool accepts yet, but I will be testing. |
| Swatcher | Lightweight and simple palette creation and automator | Buy off Steam | Paid | Very simple, very lightweight, but great color picker. Requires Cyotek to export to our appropriate .pal file |
| Photoshop | Edit and create pixel art | Buy Adobe Subscription | Paid | One of the OG tools. |
| ViX Image Viewer | View NRI tools and export to BMP | Archive.org Mirror and NRI plugin | Free | I have not tested this yet but I prefer to use TNT to export the sprites and then edit them from there, to be quite honest. This is one of the OG tools so I kept it on here. |
| Smack Studio | Edit and battle your own pixelart | Buy off Steam | Paid | Super cool for monster and NPC pixel art. You can also view your stuff in a 2.5D way using a 2D partsheet and rigging it. Very nifty. |
| Tilesetter | Edit spritesheets and export entire tilesheets quickly | Buy off Steam | Paid | Honestly would go sick with a custom map maker |
| NORIさん Ver.2.6 - [TS]ファッションシミュレータ (NORI-san Ver.2.6 [TS] Fashion Simulator) | View NRI + Pal + Fashion | Download from lyna's website | Free | One of the OG Tools. Requires a Splash.exe launcher. |

| G-OP-Voodoo | G-Op Extension DLL | Download Raymonf's repository | Free | Adds things like invulnerability and super speed--may require an update to G-OP? Will have to be investigated. |
| G-OP | Allows you to summon monsters and teleport to different maps | Download Ragezone Mirror | Free | One of the OG Tools. Semi-broken, does not like to spawn in monsters past version 0.50. |

| 515TO专用小助手 (515TO Dedicated Assistant/Special Helper) | Translated Functions:

5150 Property, unlikely to obtain in our lifetimes | Most likely 5150 owners only | Swiss Army Knife Toolbox for cheaty mechanics (map for treasure map locations, forcing compounds until they're specific values, etc.) but great for brute-force testing. Unlikely to ever see the light of public eye. |
