haunter is on a distinguished road
Features already included in the Offline Editor.
  • Right clicking and dragging a selection on the level copies the selection.
  • Double left clicking a tile makes that tile into the default (or background) tile
  • Right clicking on the level when there is no selection bucket fills the tile your cursor is on, plus any adjacent tiles of the same kind with the default tile.
  • Selector lines snap to tile grid
  • Some sort of simple NPC placing/editing system... For doors, lights, misc graphics and the like
  • If not already: Editing levels that have maps
  • Copy, Cut, & Paste
  • Right clicking an NPC duplicates it
  • The ability to show/hide NPCs
  • Double clicking, or move the cursor on top of (in map mode) a level link automatically opens that level.
  • Tabbed browsing
That's all I can think of right now, it's been a while since I've used a level editor (offline or online)

New features that do not exist on the offline level editor.
  • A check box for 'NPC grabbing'. If checked any NPCs who's X/Y is in a selection of tiles gets dragged along with that selection of tiles when they're moved.
  • Zoomed out editing (When in map mode) Allows you to zoom out an view several levels at once when in map mode... This probably isn't possible, but I figure it's worth a mention.
  • Better selector: Holding shift allows you to add onto a current selection of tiles. Holding Ctrl allows you to subtract. (Much like Photoshop's marquee tool)

That's all that I could think of off of the top of my head... Some things might not be clear, if something isn't clear just let me know and I will try to clarify.
