Great features, but I can't try it because of the ''FATAL ERROR''. BTW, I'm so happy to see you guys again.

Would it be possible to include gravity modifiers in all 4 directions?

I haven't touched Jtool (the source code, anyway) for 2 months, but the past few days I worked quite a bit on it and added a few new features, so here's version 1.2.0.

The download link is in the original post. Here's the change log:

--- 1.2.0   2/1/16 ---
Easier-to-parse map format
Rearrange depth of blocks, spikes, water
Easily erase objects beneath water
Killer / solid border map property
Check for new version on startup
Show filename in window caption
Include brown block skin
Fix rare map corruption bug
Lower death sound volume
A few misc tweaks
One new easter egg

Not sure if you're interested in making any more updates, but having a feature that traces the kid's movement would come in handy with designing needle or trying to see how vstring depending certain jumps might be.  It would be really easy to implement and it would fit into the current interface pretty well.

Did you try to do something with a custom skin? That seems to be where the error is originating.

i tried to do something with one but now it seems that it won't open at all. only the downgraded versions will

I had that problem too and I think it's because you tried to add a skin that doesn't work in the current version. To fix it, try removing the last skin you added before jtool stopped working from the skin folder and the text file in it. If you cant figure out which skin was the last you added, try removing all skins except the default ones and then adding them one by one to see if they work, which is what I did. The skins I can remember that gave me trouble which I downloaded from this thread were Venus and Die to the Spike.

Update! Klazen recently added the ability to edit object's step event code using NSP. So you can make objects move, react to triggers, and all kinds of fancy stuff. Download is in the OP.

Also, just FYI, I don't plan on releasing any more major updates to jtool. I had big plans at one point but they fell through.

For this error, try using version 1.2.0, which was compiled on windows 7 and that makes a difference somehow.

1.2.1 and 1.2.3 were compiled on windows 10. I don't plan on compiling 1.2.3 on windows 7 because i don't have any computer with it installed, so if someone else wants to do that go ahead.
