1) Yes, I've thought of that. I just haven't gotten around to it (wasn't a priority for this release). 2) Good idea; which ones? PgUp/PgDown (on second thought, that seems unintuitive)? I was actually thinking of one idea; clicking and dragging on the current tile would select other tiles, so dragging right would bring up the next tile, then the tile after that. Up and down would skip tiles by 20 or something. 3) I wrote about those in the Future Plans docs. Didn't read that, didja? -- |

Don't do it the dragging way ... that can get REALLY frustrating. You could have Pgup/Pgdn, or maybe use the scroll wheel for that? You could also add up/down buttons next to the tile. -- |

Keyboard shortcuts for next/prev are a good idea, I just need intuitive keys for it. I can add it in five minutes after that I think A for previous and S for next would work. Left hand there, right hand on the mouse. Maybe make a previous and next for the secondary tile too (Q and W?). I'm not a fan of using PgUp/Down for this for some reason -- |

I'm not coming up with alternatives; you should use ALL of them. -- |

TF: What widget? What's it do? The auto-wrapping one? Sure; I'd like to see how to set the window to a certian area. Never got the hang of that ... Anyway, new version up. A - Previous left tile. I'm glad I added that; it works great -- |

It did not work with alleg41.dll so I needed to switch to alleg40.dll. After that, it worked fine and I'm using XP. Good stuff, I was slapp'n and map'n, baby! At first I was like "how do you select another tile" so I was forced to read the instructions and found out the tile selector was under "View". Quick question, seeing how it runs under a window, is the code portable to other platforms? I'm working on a map editor specifically for my project, and I'm using a hacked up version of the Allegro gui. I'm eventually going to have to swap out the gui with something faster and better. If I want a version to run under Windows, that means I need to re-code a version just for Windows, correct? Mike_Vox |

Quote: I'm using win98. What is MSVCR70? I just got that error again running another allegro program. If you downloaded the original 4.0.3 end-user DLL, I accidently put the MSVC7 version in there. I have since replaced it with the MSVC6 version. You can either download the new DLL from the files section, or you can download the msvcr70.dll file and place it in your system32 folder. Now, for some general comments on the program itself. The native Win32 feel is nice; that is reason alone to use an editor. I'm not a fan of these universal non-native GUI toolkit libs, nor am I fan of a full screen Allegro GUI. Having a dual monitor setup and being able to have multiple windows open is very nice. That said, the interface definately feels "primitive", but I know working with Win32 is tedious. (But at least under Windows a primitive Win32 is better than a non-Win32 app.) As long as all the features (layers, etc) make there way in, it shouldn't be an issue. You should use the scroller on the mouse to select between tiles. It would actually be nice if it were configurable... How simplistic is the file format? It would be nice to have a really simple "CVS export" format available in case someone wanted to use MapSlapper to create the map, but didn't want to use its native format. |

Disabled themes and it ran fine I agree with Matthew: Scrolling should change tiles Looks alright thus far. I love the copy/paste functions. Customizability of the tile blitting operations is pretty kewl too. Good job "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

I dunno if you have this already, but ... Go download RPG Maker 2000. That tile editor has a sweet feature where you can select large portions of a tileset or map and just paste it in a "pattern" kind of way wherever you want it. Try Drawing a wall, selecting it, and then drawing a large area with that brush. -- |

It's more of a combination between the Stamp and Clone tools. Clicking once places ALL OF IT, like a Stamp, but if you keep placing, it won't place the whole Stamp again at the same position. -- |

I can't give you a link, but after trying your "MapSlapper", a lot of good could come from you seeing RM2K's editor. I'm not saying yours is bad...because it's not...it's just that I have very high standards after using RM2K (for way too many hours!)...my map editor pales in comparison to yours, yet. Good job!

When compiling with MingW, it complains about there not being a newline at the end of the file. And nothing happens when you choose Help->About either. (And I mean NOTHING!) [edit] Just found this. On the 'Edit Tile Blit Style' If you hold down on a mouse button and move the mouse left and right a few times, it crashes. --- |

I don't have a mouse wheel, so I won't attempt that yet 
It would be much easier for someone to write code to load a MapSlapper file into their tilemap structures than to make MapSlapper handle all instances IMHO. It'll be even nicer for the do-all tilemap editor, but I don't think anyone's commented on the plans for that yet 
...
