sure, but i'll start commenting some code first, because sometimes even i can't make it up what i just did oh, and it's not exactly the right way of protecting variables from external use, or any oop related rules. The variables are basicly flying all over the place. When i need to hold that for a sec, in that place, but also needs it there, wham a variable is declared, and if i need it in both places from one module to another form wham, global so... errr not really following the rules or so I just implemented the selection tool, allowing you to select stuff and move it or delete it, for now select something move it all you want and right click to apply your movement of the selection. I still need to build in some error preventions and such. You can also see your current selection on the radar (yellow dotted rectangle). Only when i select at most zoomed out level (pixel level) the selection is acting up a bit, not exactly stable, or being at the place it needs to be It took my like over 5 hours to implement that piece of !@#$%^&* , that surp!@#$%^&*ed the amount of time of implementing the radar, and made a new record of duration to implement one thing <.< DMCE_build3.zip

i wanted to have it working first, before i clean up the mess and start working on the gui i still wanted to do that, actually i've tried, but it didn't work as i hoped so i restored it back to before is started on that same as above i was planning on making a help on them. Any suggestions for the icons. They can't ???, i thought they can :/, well for now i'm letting them on there, for simplicity's sake I'll check that out, but i can't promise anything will do

I just finished a second build of my map editor new stuff: - support for saving - special tiles ar all good - import tileset works - a minimap/radar is now available - you can toggle the tile numbers - added a bigger zoom out level, on pixel level (1 tile = 1 pixel) to have a nice overview - supports default tileset now too Thats about it i guess I still need to implement: selections, fill, shape drawing (rectangle, circle, ...), mirror and flip selections Known problems: -for some reason dcme doesn't want to show the left top corner tile, although, if you draw it, save the map and open it in another map editor its there, only when you open a map it doesnt want to show -i was hoping you guys could find some more Btw i think my implementation of special tiles is better than that from ssme (i mean warpholes and such, because here you can select it as an actual tile, and dcme will see it as an object) Check it out oh yeah, if you get an error that you have one or more missing components, download the visual basic runtime files, and if you still get comdlg32.ocx is missing, then search on google for it and put it in your system or system32 folder depending which os you are running (its the folder where most files are in) Enjoy Edit: forgot to attach it DCME_build2.zip

well first off i'll try to implement all the features of ssme, once that is stable, ill add some more features

i never had any ssme.ini o_O" And im making my own, because i love programming and learning how to make stuff (to see if i can do it, ahhh the satisfaction is rewarding ) Edit: it can load maps now, but not yet saving because i dont know how to save 256bitmap pictures in vb to a byte array, and some of the basic features, pencil, magnifier (from 1:4 to 2:1) and dropper. Edit2: here is the first build of my pre-alpha version of DCME (Drake Continuum Map Editor, ... not very original eh?!) It doesnt support saving, or importing tilesets or special tiles like warpholes or rocks, but it's a start . I also need to polish the gui a bit (different mouse cursors, toolbars ,...) Edit3: possible bugs == very likely, although it only reads from an lvl file, back it up just in case :/ DCME.zip

but ssme _worked_ until it crashed my pc on close once, then afterwards it doesn't want to start anymore, i think there's some bad registry entry for ssme or so. So if you know which registry keys ssme writes, or config files, i can delete it, and maybe it will work again Now that ssme doesn't work, i'm making my own map editor in vb . It will be more like a ssme clone, but with more features such as fill and such

Do you need more info ? I start ssme.exe, few seconds later i get this error report

Hi, i used SSME before and it always worked fine, until this afternoon. Now i always get an error report when im trying to start ssme. I think one of the 2 things happened: - When i closed ssme, my whole pc crashed, just froze up, i couldn't do anything so i pressed the reset button :/ - I tried opening a corrupt lvl file ( i downloaded it from ftp and and it was still incomplete >.<") So i thought ssme had a corrupt setting or so, so i deleted all ssme entrys (that i could find) in the registry. I also redownloaded ssme v0.81 but i still get the error. Does anyone know how to fix it, so i can work with ssme again ? Thanks
