Right-click menus

Found it annoying to figure out which tile I'd be editing when I used these menus, so I added these little previews when you rightclick -> edit tile.

Background colors

Found background color definitions for maps. Maps like this one now look correct:



This also fixes the color that appears behind grass on various maps.

Maps

Much-improved map rendering algorithm!



Still testing, but it looks good on most maps so far.

Maps

Build 0104 is posted, which can export everything currently editable to a ROM except composite maps.

Working on those.

Yesterday and today, I've found & added editors for how doors are defined (these are also used to switch maps in events), and how walk-on events for maps (like music changes) are handled.

Still lots to do on maps.

"Export to ROM"

... is almost ready!

Build 0102

You should be able to modify and save a bunch of stuff to project files now, including music, samples, tilesets, tiles, maps, events, the font, and the world map. The "01" build line will close when I have all this stuff working well and exporting to a ROM. Next build line will focus on sprites.

Still pretty buggy.

Build 0100

I'm going to release an initial drop shortly. This is a really buggy preliminary release and is intended only to give you something to play around with and bugtest for now, until I get some real functionality working -- it is not for doing any serious editing. Read the release notes before running.

I made a quick free message board where it will be easier to discuss this stuff and post releases: http://somedit.proboards.com/

Edit: available in the releases board. Run at your own risk! It's crashy.
