What's up, RMers?

Do I ever really stop???



The Face Sync system works great; a system that uses custom lip-sync files that controls facial animation.  But while its not really hard to make the required files, it is cumbersome.  So I am making an editor as shown above.... with Windows Widgets. 

The editor is a nice 1280x756 size, so no complaints about the editor itself being a puny 640x480.

I have three current menu control windows:  Files, Graphics and Message.  

• Files:  This window essentially sets the names of the required .rxdata files used by the Face Sync system. Roughly 90% complete
  
  
• Graphics:  This will let you define what mouth, eye or like resources are used by NPCs and properly align them with their NPC profiles and/or characterset sprites.
  
  
• Messages:  This will let you actively create the timing file that animates NPC's mouth and other facial features.
  

I already worked out the basics of the Graphics window, but that was before characterset graphics were being considered.  What is really going to be an entertaining headache is coming up with a means to create the timing file itself... like some deranged dance dance revolution as ...   I have absolutely no idea how to load an mp3 file and convert it to text.
