Just started a new level editor. Here is a pic:


You can already scroll thorught the map with Up-Left-Right and Down keys.

I am implementing a sroll-bar feature right now and the layers themselves.

The numbers on the grid are the lvl(x,y)=[b]number[/b] these are not the layers themselves.

P.S: you draw with your mouse(click1=Draw Click2=Erase)

Is that done entirely in 2d? When you do the layers thing, will it still be 2d or will it be matrices above each other?

Lots of level editors coming out recently... geoscape, emperor baal's, etc...

btw, Are you releasing this?

I dont think its a matrix editor. I think its a tile mapper. It probably stores the data in an array and write them to a file. The import code u have to write your own.

The statement below is true
The statement above is false

A tile mapper is still a level editor though...so it still counts

More updates guys!



Layers-Done!(There Are 9 layers in total, you choose it with 1-9 keys )
Scroll Bar for items on right-80% done (You can set how many things there are to scroll, and it returns a proper value)
Save/Load done!(This works entirely on Bytes, no strings yet)

R_kabouter, this is a 2D level editor but when you press F5, you will get a small Preview window. This is going to be a public-release with 100% source code. There are still a lot of stuff to be done, I am actually making this level editor for 2 different games So After I perfect the lvl editor, I will release it

The code is very easy to read, Subs/Functions are used in many ways.

Please note on the above image that the dotted areas on the map are see-through layers. This means that when you switch from layer to layer, you can see your whole map see-through style. This is vey helpful when making levels.

Few more things: Everything is easy to customize! For example:
To make a new item: make_button_color(540,110,255,0,0,0,"Brick")
To make a new button: make_button(540,290,"New Level")

I pumped this editor out in one day. Click to see it at:

http://www.posergallery.com/wip/20040124-level_editor222328.jpg

Sure it's still being worked on, but hey, pretty good for around five hourse, eh? Mine doesn't support layers - YET!

Anyways, how exactly did you get that support in, out of healthy curiosity. Are you having multiple arrays acquire data for each layer - cuz I think that's what I'm gonna do? One major difference: I'm using layers for parallax scrolling, eventually.

I primarily showed off because I thought that it was ironic that we are both using pretty much the same input scheme - mouse for setting tiles, and keyboard for scrolling, etc. We're even using the same mouse button for erase!
