Map Editor Update

[Gobalopper]

DayOfWar has updated his map editor again with some great new additions. You can now lay down tiles and save maps. One problem is that the game only has a select number of maps it will allow, meaning in order for the game to recognize the maps you create you will have to overwrite a map that is already there. This version still has some work to be done before its completely finished but its looking good. The update can be found here or if you haven't gotten the editor yet get the full install. Read below the recent additions:

New Features:

- Dis-abled the sound code

- Save function Added a save funtion, just press the S button. Do not think you can go ahead and start using this as an editor. There are 2 things my editor will not save. They are the spice locations and the crater locations. I will add this soon. WARNING This function saves files as the original file name. Saving maps with this editor will be at your own risk. Copy maps to another name first like, "My.map". This way it will only alter the file "My.map" and not your original Dune2000 maps.

- Tile display For editing purposes there will now be a tile display to the right and just under the mini-map. To cycle thru the availible tiles hit the UP or DOWN keys on your keyboard.

- Tile placment Select a tile by simple click the displayed tile to the right just under the mini-map. Then place it over the part of the map you want to change. Then click the left mouse button. While you have a tile selected there will be a map grid shown on the screen to help you place the tile where you want it. To de-select the tile click the right mouse button.

- Future I may add tile groups on the tile display to allow for better editing.
