The new editor seems to be a bit glitchy.. like some times I download a level from ftp, and replace the old level with it, and when I open the level in the editor, it's the old version.. and then sometimes I open a level and it's the left grass tile all over.. like it isn't reading the level or something.
Maybe have an option to turn scrollbars or moving player on and off.. so you could have like two different modes.. a normal mode with scrollbars and a "preview" mode where you could walk around as the character like it is currently.
I was talking to GYoshi, and he reminded me of something that should be added.. a way to define tiles yourself, in one file or something.. so for example a playerworld could make their own tileset, and change things around so that the first square in their tileset is solid, or a chair, or something.. like having setshape but for the entire pics1, so that everyone doesn't have to conform to the tile definitions of the default pics1. That way people could make 5 chairs if they wanted to (in their tileset) and they would automatically be chairs when set down.
The file would have to be stored on the server somehow because people could just edit the file offline so that everything could be walked through, defeating the purpose, as GYoshi mentioned.
But it would be really cool.. maybe even have the layering so that you could set the height of a tile

. Other than that, the new editor takes some getting used to but its a lot better i think.
