Dude, hell yes. Fry, you are the man!

By the way, could you make the scrollbars remain as an option? Graaleditor doesn't have scrollbars when you edit a gmap, and you have to find the little cursor to drag the map around. Personally, I find it a little easier to just use scrollbars or arrow keys to move around.

Really awesome!
Rep for you!

I love you, man.

It kind of works right now, if someone wants, please give this a try:

• GMap editing is done by opening the .gmap file directly. Level files are first searched for in the directory of the GMap and only if they can't be found will the Graal directory be searched.
• When opening a level that is part of an already loaded GMap it should scroll to the level in the GMap instead of opening a new window for it.
• Editing layers is working inside Gonstruct right now, and hopefully also in Graal. The way it works right now is that a layer is empty in the beginning and only tiles you add to it are actually saved to the file. Hopefully that is how Stefan intended for layers to work in the end, since it seems to display fine in Graal (thanks Dusty), but I don't really know, since he doesn't seem to talk much about layers and probably has different concerns at the moment.
• Flood filling might be a bit dangerous on really big GMaps
• Navigation with scrollbars is probably a bit annoying, so might add a minimap/cursor movement
• Each level of the GMap needs to be saved individually at the moment, Dusty says it's better to save the entire GMap, so that's probably going to change
• Loading of some PNG images seems to be broken at times

glibmm-ERROR **:
unhandled exception (type unknown) in signal handler

aborting...

Running windows vista, didn't run it in admin mode or anything. Not sure exactly how the error happened, seemed to be when I was working with copy/pasting tiles. I'll try to narrow it down if I can. Crashed the client. It was while editing a 3x3 gmap.

I get this error, but I dont even get as far as even opening a level OR a "New" level for that matter. These are the errors I get upon clicking the "New" button, or upon navigating to and trying to open a .nw file:




I have also attached the full error report in the 3rd screenshot here:

Hm, that should only happen if you have, like, a very very old graphics card (<2001 or something) or are running the thing in a VM. Does any of that fit, or do you have some kind of uncommon graphics card?

Uploaded a version with a bit more error handling (and cursor key movement on the gmap) here.

I am already running 0.2.1. I had the same error with 0.2.0, but with less detailed errors (as you mentioned, 0.2.1 has more error handling).

My graphics card is neither uncommon (Name: Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family; Chip Type: GMA 3100; DAC Type: Internal) nor old (2009). My processor is incapable of running a Virtual Machine either, so it's definitely not running in one.

Made a bunch of fixes regarding editing and loading of gmaps and layers in general. Link's still the same, here.

It's really odd, but I don't think even a newer Intel graphics card lacks the feature it is complaining about, so maybe I'm just doing something wrong when checking for it, so I removed the check for it. Could you try whether it runs now and whether textures display?

That is odd, could you paste/link or PM me the contents of the gmap file if you ever get time? Also I'm uploading a version with (hopefully) better error messages and handling, maybe that's going to make errors less useless

This is how gonstruct handles gmaps currently. I don't think Fry intends to implement the stupid char thing(thank god). Instead I believe he plans to add a minimap tab that will let you move around(think preview window from Photoshop) and arrow keys. I also suggested mouse click scrolling(like how a browser handles it), but never got a response about that.

I'd rather see push/pull scrollbars, similar to in Picasa and other programs.



The scrollbar is used to move up or down, but doesn't actually take you to a certain spot. For large (15x15, etc) GMAPs, it'd be really hard to navigate with regular scrollbars.

But the minimap thing sounds awesome too.

very cool, once it's finished I'll be using this editor, thank you

Now it crashes when I open any gmap, and also is really slow when I open or even make a new .nw level. Unusable slow.

didn't get any error messages.

Oh, I was running a virtual machine, but I wasn't running it in a Virtual machine.
