Yeah, I never got the "missing new line" warning until I used linux. I wasn't aware it gave a warning in any windows-based compiler. Doesn't even make sense, really. 23 said: I'm going to have to pick up a mouse with 3 buttons and a wheel this paycheck Just so you know, on most mice the wheel is also the middle button "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

If you want to be really pedantic, the wheel is the third, fourth, and fifth buttons. -- |

...straying OT, but fourth and fifth? You can only press it in one direction. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Dezero, the wheel? You press it down, and you scroll it up and down -- |

Wow. Can't see how I missed this thread at all. I just downloaded MapSlapper and tried it out. (I'm on a computer at my workstudy job at school right now, so it was a little clunky and slow.. stupid machine) Anyways, I like the feel. It's really nice. When I use it I want to shed tears because my editor for ZD is so ugly looking. Kudos to that. The only thing I find really weird and awkward is how there are two separated windows, one that contains the map and another that contains the selectable tiles. If anything I would say put them together? Maybe this is something people don't like, but I for one find it very weird to switch to a new window to select a tile. I was thinking the tiles would either be shown in some kind of side pane, or horizontal pane along the bottom of the editor. Whatever floats your boat, however. This is just mere preference. Everything else (that I was able to check out in the short amount of time I have left before class starts) works pretty much perfectly. I like the scrollbars. It's annoying to use arrow keys to scroll around in a map, you know? Good job on this. I'd like to play around with it just a little more, but alas, I don't have much time. You don't happen to have a little binary of an engine that runs these puppies, do you? (Well, one that's available to the public?) --- |

Yes, let us dock the tile window to arbitrary positions in the main window! -- |

Ooooh. Docking would be really sweet. Then I could put my tiles wherever I wanted. Left, right, top, bottom... Oooh. Docky goodness. That's a really neat idea. I'd love to see that. --- |

Update for chris: Disabling themes did the trick for me, very nice work. You've made an entire toolset in win32 for your game, very nice indeed. Keep up the good work, ben's drivel |

Flecko: I did? What's a "toolset"? Okay, dockable windows and such, that's not bad. Unfortunately I have no clue how to do that but I'll note the idea for future development. If anyone's wondering, the reason tilesets are 20 tiles wide is because that's how KQ works, and I thought it was easy to add new tiles to a tileset (and it is ). I guess in the future a tileset should be skinnier. I only say this because I can't picture a tileset that wide being in a side panel. But I guess that's just an old idea that can be done away with now; I can make the program use different sized tilesets now. So, yeah. I'll note it for later. (actually, I'm starting to get some new ideas runs off) X-G: can you compile it now? Maybe I should upgrade MinGW (using 2.95.3-6 right now) -- |

Toolset...I guess that means your animation editor and your tile editor. Debatable, but I think it means all the tools needed outside of your game to make it work. Impressive to say the least. ben's drivel |

Aw, fug I did fix that blit type window too; I just forgot to change one line that was referencing the wrong variables Okay, hopefully it a) runs for everyone now and b) the crashes are gone. I'm going to add a note to the docs that XP users might have to Disable Themes; I guess that covers it then? Is it a rare thing to have to Disable Themes to get a program to run? Matthew says it runs with Themes on for him (maybe now that I'm not fudging my iterator code ) -- |

23.. I don't think it has anything to do with your map code but rather the windows API code you are using. There's a reason why there are XP only downloads for most products and that's probably a main reason. For some reason XP needs some special code or something to deal with themes, it's kinda stupid, but as long as you put it in the docs to disable themes everything should be OK. That or you could have someone e-mail you an executable with themes pre-disabled in the executable (unless XP uses some strange config file for it) and it should run carry over... maybe not... ___________________________________ |

The file doesn't do anything for me. I get a wait cursor, and that's it. No window, no msg box, nothing. Oh, I'm running XP as well. -- |

Spellcaster: You can disable them for just that prog. Click properties, and there's a compatibility option that disables themes for that program only. -- |
