- Just thought I'd mail the list with a couple of updates to my map editor.
-
- The editor now sports an OPTIONAL shape scroller at the top of the screen.
- This stretches across the whole width of the screen and allows you to quickly
- select any shape in the currently loaded file. It can be switched on or off
- and its status can be saved as a tooltype.
-
- You can now save your prefered screen mode. The editor will automatically open
- its screen to match your choice.
-
- Shapes can now be grabbed from IFF's using the LoadShapes menu item. Just
- click on an IFF instead of a shapes file and you'll be given a option to grab
- the palette from the iff, the program will then automatically cut out the
- shapes and then resort them as if they were a normal shapes file.
-
- Shapes can now be named! Give a shape a name and then save out all defined
- names as an ASCII file that looks like this:
-
- #BACKGROUND=0
- #DESTRUCT=1
- #NONDESTRUCT=2
-
- These constants can then be used straight in your program - making it easier to
- change your shapes file in the future! You can also select a shape by name
- rather than by number or image.
-
- Hmmmmm..... Anything else? Probably but I'll be buggered if I can
- remember......... ;-)
-
- Oh well, the editor should be available soon!
-
-
- Thanx,
-
- Steve Mc.
