what you would like to see in an lvl editor

[ZeUs!!]

I'd like it so that when you flip a selection then you don't have to replace all the tiles that are facing the wrong way

Ooo, that just made me think of something else. It would be excellent to have a way to map tiles so that you can copy, paste, and then flip all the tiles without them being reversed. This would be an amazing feature, and since a lot of maps are symmetrical, it'd cut down building time a lot.

And you wonder why me and Wadi get pissed at the people who use these forums

When you are about to open a map a preview thing would be nice to have.
In SSME you see the tileset before you open the map, but most of the time when making a map I have several instances of it, so some kind of radar preview would be nice to have.

malladrin, I love that idea! lol

MAN, this lvz editor is beginning to sound VERY awesome.

his explanation owned yours

[ZeUs!!]

No way, mine was clear AND concise

[Overburn]

YES! I just finished my monochrome bitmap to lvl file converter thing!!!

it is crazy, but takes like 10 minutes to convert it



jappeuuuh, lol, this is going to be an lvl editor with lvz support, not the other way around.

[Overburn]

hmmmmmmmmm ok, so far this is the complete list of extra fetures Im going to add (I added some my self and I stole some from the other thread stated earlier )

-Fast Tile Text
-Monochrome 2 lvl imports
-autodraw (with 4x4 mini-tiles)
-Lvz support
-rotate & flip functions with option tile replacement/fixer
-tile replacement
-multi color-format's supported (not just 256 colors any more)
-hold ctrl down while drawing to delete tiles
-hot keys (customizable)
-good coord/grid system (grid shown like in continuum (coord boundarys))
-option to have the trademark subspace/continuum stars in the background
-bookmarks
-option so that in the selected tiles, when you drop them, the blank tiles dont overwrite the used tiles under them
-customizable undo buffer w/ compression
-customizable stamps (selected regions can be turned into stamps for later use)
-tile & radar views while selecting which file to open.
-Cookie Baking Capabilities

Edit: I just owned the lvz format, I am definitly fully incorparating it in my map editor

Well, I guess some people aren't accounting for others being high on PCP when they post. People who are high on PCP have rights, too.

They say that the strength of a man is equal only to the control he has over his necessities. My habit is very much under control, although occasionally it occasionally causes me to glean over posts. In retrospect it was still productive, as it did include some actual implementation of the idea. It was practically pseudocode. Plus, I mean, come on. ASCII graphics. Can you handle that?

[Overburn]

it doesnt make cookies

oh, it does, just wait and see.

Edit: btw, does anyone know a good place to upload files to? I wanna upload some example of stuff my program can do (actually, just the monochrome importer thing for now). any suggestions??

[Overburn]

ok, I guess I'll start programming now if there are no other suggestions.

Not so sure if this was said yet, but in order to make good maps, a grid appears and you select one tile, then you draw on the grid whatever you wantand Subspace Overburnt Map/LVZ Editor (SOMLE) will draw it out for you, then you can tile it yourself, also a feature you can choose any font and Type it in and you can drag the words anywhere, just a cool feature in FACTS you can put into SOMLE.

[Jerome Scuggs]

Yo, ?message me in game (the name's Jerome) and I'll give you webspace.

[duel pasta]

You can use freewebs, but it won't let you upload big files
