Directions

• Type /te into the chat bar to open the program
• Left click to select tiles, right click to paste the selection

• open() - triggers the request to open the editor
• close() - triggers the program to close
• isOpen() - returns true if the program is open

What's new in 1.3?

• Improved the grid feature. It now uses different colors to represent modulo offsets of 64, 32, 16, and 8
• Fixed the use of the default graal rights system on gmaps. It now will not allow any tiles to be placed unless every part of the rectangle is within a level you have WRITE rights to. (It previously required write rights to the .gmap itself)
• Added a menu item to check for an update within the program at Options->Check for update
• Other small bug fixes, optimizations, and meaningless changes

Looks nice, good work. Thanks for sharing.

Good job!

It looks nice. Good job!

Looks... very interesting!

Brilliant contribution + rep.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I hope the editor works well for everyone's purposes. Let me know if you have any problems.

I made a few updates:

• Automatically checks if there is an update available when the script is initialized
• [Toggle] Extra cursor info
• Optimizations and bug fixes to the flood fill algorithm

The original post has been updated with the new version.

Fantastic, really good work.

Was wondering when I'd see this...

It's fantastic :)

It's very frustrating that I cannot edit the original post. I plan on doing updates every now and then to this, and I really would like to be able to update my post.

I have come out with a new release: 1.3

If a moderator could update the original post or allow me access to edit it again, I would be very grateful. The update checking feature of the program will not work if the original post cannot be updated.

Important: If you update the original post, please change the text between [VERSION] and [/VERSION] to 1.3.0 so that the program's update checking works.

Thank you!

You can't edit posts after 24 hours, which is really annoying in the Code Gallery. If you ask a moderator, they'll generally do it for you.

Nice work pix, I was wondering what you'd been up to.

and it only took 2000 lines of boilerplate code to get a thread that lacks any criticism whatsoever

New Version 1.4
http://pastebin.graalcenter.org/read/92657616352

Here's what's new:

• File -> Update Level ( immediately saves tile changes to the level file you are currently in )
• Layer -> Add ( Adds a tilelayer )
• Layer -> Remove ( Removes a tilelayer. Note that the default client behavior of removing a tilelayer can be very buggy. It's not recommended to remove tilelayers. )
• Fixed a few problems with rights on gmaps.
• Other minor fixes and changes as usual

There are changes which must be made to (npcserver) rights. This is the new list of default (npcserver) rights:
rw to all levels is required for the these features:

• Create new levels
• Force immediate level save
• Add and remove tilelayers

however, rw to all levels will also be required for future features.

Here's the current goal for version 1.5:

• View/Edit signs
• View/Edit level links
• View/Edit npcs
• Rename from "Tile Editor" to "Level Editor"

Please report any problems you find. :)

Nice work! :)
