auto recalculate frame objects positions

[Aloan]

As I am converting my once 160x120 resolution game to its double 320x240 (even though I'll keep the display window to a vertical of 224)

It is all about the frame editor window
I am facing a tedious problem. On the frame editor I simply would like to click on an object (say an apple tree)
MMF2 automaticlly selects all apple trees within the frame giving me a total count.
That is beautiful and very handy, BUT - I'd like to re-position all apple trees to their new corresponding 2x positions!
(This will so speed up my convertion as I am also re-drawing all objects to a finer 2x detail)

So, For example, say one apple tree in the 320x240 area is located at X:100 and Y100
Its new position would then be X200 and Y200 - I can do that with each individual tree... but the problem is I have close to 1000 trees!

What I would like to do though is: after all have been selected, I'd click on their X position field and type *2
and they all get repositioned times 2!!!! same with vertical.. Is it possible? is there and editor extension for that?

Meanwhile I am stuck having to painstakingly type 2 values for each object in my 8 levels game. and I got thousands!!!

One of Fusion's weaknesses is that the game logic is not resolution independent. Assuming all your objects are Actives, you could hack it by saying Start of Frame -> Set X position("Active") to X("Active")*2. Other that, you are basically stuck doing things manually. Fusion 2.5 doesn't support editor extensions, though from the sound of it I think Fusion 3 will when it comes out (hopefully sometime this year).

Some devs put all their game logic in one frame, and make a custom level editor. If the game was developed this way, changing resolution would be no big deal. But this doesn't help you much with your current project.

Great to know! yeah I heard on an interview on Youtube (had to use audacity to UP the sound a lot) that you'll be able to make editor extensions! wow!!! thanks a bunch for the good reply!
