Deling triangle locator:
While running, FF8 Step Triangulator adds a hotkey for Deling. Ctrl+Click on a walkmesth triangle. Script will try to locate the triangle number using a brute-force color match search in that area.
- Start Deling (tested with v0.12.0) and open the FF8 "field.fs" file located in the directory "\Data\lang-en".
- Select the Walkmesh tab at the top of Deling.
- Switch to the Walkmesh tab in the bottom section of Deling to display the Triangles list.
- Hold Ctrl and Click on one of the lines or intersections of the triangle you want to find.
- The macro will jump to the last triangle in the list, then scan UP until it (hopefully) finds a pixel of the "selected triangle" color near the mouse.
- If a colored triangle is located, the triangle number will be added to your FF8 Step Triangulator Triangles list and saved to the clipboard.
