Tile Editor Scripts

It's mouse controlled.
You can move and resize the window that it's in.
You can scroll through the entire tileset.
The scroll and resize coords round to fit tiles.
You select multiple tiles by dragging the mouse.
The first tile you clicked on is always in your selection.
The tiles while laying are on layer 0.
The only thing it really lacks is bucketfill, copy and paste. and I'd rather have those in a different script anyway, maybe one that uses predefined objects.

If you come to Classic and get a chance to go to gctilechangerb.nw you would be able to see it.

So, Lance, do you care to discuss the transparency issue or was your entire goal...? Anyways, thanks for the posting advice *cough* gotta get to school now!

I win mine copied and pasted too =p

Copy and Paste is easy, but I would rather put it in a different script because in my opinion it would be better/easier/less confusing to separate the two abilities. I'd try to make something that would allow for predefined objects if I did that as well. All you really have to do for that is to save all of the tile code things in an array. Bucket fill would be a little more difficult, but possible. It's kindof a maze to make. The hard part would be checking for tiles that are the same and connected. Call a for loop checking each coordinate on the four borders of the tile and then checking that tiles four borders and the next tiles four borders. Maybe if I did a function that called itself... I just hope it wouldn't eat up all the memory, and doing that probably would so what might be an efficient way? Replacing the tiles wouldn't exactly be the hard part. Just using modulus from the initial coords could handle that. It would also give more control over how you want the tiles to be laid. The default editor, on the other hand, decides for itself.

It won't be difficult to modify the script so that it takes 2 images in place of pics1.png. It can almost do that the way it is now. It would just need a check if it's over 1024 that would change which image and post that image at the same coordinates but with 1024 subtracted from an x value. So I guess I'll do that.

Thank you for your profound respect for others.

You just explained pathfinding, it's also what I did for bucket fill, I removed it out of my script because people started editing all at once, and it just got confusing
