Good news guys. I'm taking a class in software design and documentation and I've managed to convince my group to work on CLLT (Continuum Level / Lvz Tool, shh don't tell) for our semester long project. So that means tons of new features for us! If there's anything you want, now's the time to request it.
Here's what I got so far:
Ellipse / Ellipse Fill Tool
Better Retile interface
Layers
Fill Tool
Region Fill Tool
Allow Lvz and Regions to be selected and copy / pasted
Autodetection of "walls" for the EZ Tile Tool
JPGs remain as JPGs (instead of being converted to PNGs)
Low Memory mode for lvz like gravbomber
Completely customizable hot keys
Mutliple "walls" defined by the EZ Tile Tool
Export as plain .lvl option
Autotile background option
Possibly encorporate screenobjects / file overrides
Better image manipulation system (use external editors like photoshop). |

if this is possible then i request a way to erase parts of your lvz once you put them into the program. Say i have a box and i put a lvz in it that sticks out on side. Instead of having to make a new image that fits i can just use the lvz eraser and erase the side that sticks out. This is probably too late seeing as how you said this like 4 months ago but if the class isnt over yet, this would be a groovy feature. |

A pan tool, like in acrobat reader.
Also something like alt+scrollweel scrolls horizontally.
Also, I think there are some bugs when you delete multiple LVZs.
Oh, and LVZs shouldn't rename the pictures.
If you're looking for more inspiration, take a look at the GIMP. _________________ Hyperspace Owner

If possible you should make combining lvz easier too. Ive combined large lvz before and its a bitch due to the fact that if the lvz both have an Image0 that is used multiple times i have to edit one to become image1. |

perhaps like u did the wall tiles u can do one for words? where u assign letters to a chart and when u type in a message it corresponds with the tiles on the map.
also a lil debugging for bak. i was having a problem yesterday where i had to repeatedly open up tile edit, it would work fine the first couple attempts but then it would start bugging out cause when i opened up the tile to edit it would show up as really small on the editing page and wouldnt allow me to edit or anything. it might be linked to memory usage because at the time my cpu was high for extra factors (stuff outside of CLIT) also when my cpu usage was high and i clicked on save the progress bar would pop up and be displayed indefintly and when i closed it out and reopened the map it was then a bare map with everything deleted. just a few debugs for ya. lastly copy cut and paste dont work at all. using the current version CLT 1.0 |

tiles is what i'm referring to...copy and paste didn't work at all...cutting works fine. and i check every corner of the map for the paste...didn't show up anywhere
edit: also and an idea for bak...support for tiles 192 and up...(i know the ones at the bottom) but also room for blank tiles so we can add them as we wish? or would this be redundant as you prolly already included the valid ones, but if you already did then why would they create so many extra? ugh sorry for all the questions) |

i found a bug in it as when you edit the elvl imformation and leave one of the boxes on the right blank and safe it than load it again i says a error about it and has randum tiles all over the map and closes about a minute after opening it, luckly for me i just made a back up of it, i thought i'd just tell you about the bug |

I have version 8-30-05 and I can't figure out how to move lvz with the mouse once I've placed it. For example if I set the layer to AfterTiles and I want to quickly see under the lvz. Although a display filter for different layers would better solve this example (at least a 'no lvz' view mode) I think you should still be allowed to resposition lvz with the mouse (maybe use that cursor with the 4 arrows on it). Currently I'm adding 1000 pixels to the x coord.
And don't forget to update the default tiles bmp! It's still of jpg quality :/ |

11-7-06 Added a menu item for changing the lvz selection mode (select only top lvz is back!), as well as enabling dragging. Fixed the freeze when opening maps with custom eLVL chunks. _________________ SubSpace Discretion: A Third Generation SubSpace Client |

I also noticed it freezed if some chunk had a byte 0 in its type description.. I know that shouldnt happen, so its no big deal... maybe its fixed anyway so.. bleh _________________ (Insert a bunch of dead links here) |

Yeah, that's the one I fixed... although if you could double check for me I would appreciate it. |

You should add CLT to the Quick Link to Projects thread... I had some trouble finding the correct link to download it the first time http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=5628
And yes, it works now.
I just noticed something though:
I opened a map with CLT, hit File->Close
Then from DCME, tried to save and overwrite that same map, but it gave an error, just like if the file was still used by CLT. I closed CLT and then I was able to overwrite it. |

Hmm... the link is on the first post of this topic, although I'll add one to that quick links one I suppose.
As for the close thing, it's now fixed (I never closed the inputstream when reading in the bitmap ) |

Yeah I know the link's there... But Quick Link to projects is where most people look at first , and I think the link in "One Stop Shop" sticky thread at forums.sscentral.com is bad (sscentral database seems down now though, so I can't check right now) - which is mostly why I had trouble finding CLT at first
Anyways... DCME is getting eLVL stuff veryyyyy soon now I just got it able to load all eLVL data... just need to save them now
Thanks to CLT, it was much easier to debug with it hehe
And it's a good thing you just fixed the problem about custom chunks, cause my plans were to make DCME save wall-tiles data (and some other stuff) in custom eLVL chunks , possibly including a rCOL subchunk for saving region color (random colors are so ugly sometimes ) |

I just noticed it is impossible to input -1 as X / Y coordinates in autowarp. According to eLVL format documentation, a -1 value would be valid. |

Hmm, I must have overread that when I originally read the documentation.
Fixed.

I never liked the idea of storing regions inside the map file. Sure it's convienent, but this file gets downloaded by the clients so you want to keep the size to a minimum. In my opinion, the client should get only what it needs, the tileset and tile location (and perhaps have an alternate file that resides on the server which describes regions and any other stuff the client wasn't interested in). If we start putting in lots of extra chunks they may start to add up.
Then again putting it in the map file is intuative and an extra second of waiting never killed anyone. |

Having them sent to the client also opens up the possibility of certain regions having an effect on the client. Of course, this will never happen with Continuum, but still it's good in theory. _________________ This help is informational only. No representation is made or warranty given as to its content.

implement the ability to load a directory of images, one by one is a pain in the arse
when i'm working on one document, then start another one, everytime i click on the lvz tool it opens both my new lvz and the lvz of any other document that's tabbed but not active (same goes with the tileset in most cases)
in a previous version i'm pretty sure when i copied a section of tiles and put it overtop of another section of tiles, black didn't = tile. It would overlay. That was neat. It doesn't do that for me anymore.
when i load a tileset from a bmp the program fux with it and it doest fit proper ss tileset grid anymore.. i have to save it with tileedit as lvl then import the lvl
i'm clicking the zoom all the way on top left but it never brings me to the top left of the map, this is true for all 4 corners, i think you need to + the radius or something. (as of now i have to scroll the rest manually) ssme don't do that
i can't copy and paste lvz, i can't hold in shift to select more than one lvz object, so even if i could copy and paste lvz i would still only be able to paste one at a time
needs to be an option like, fill lvz with tile, that would be cool, after i map it out with lvz i always gotta go back and tile it, but so often the lvz are simple 2 tile thick images that can just be mirrored easilly, that would rock, because going back and tiling what i already mapped slows me down!
this should be enough updates for a new release! wich is what i want to see
been workin with clt now and it does the job gr8 (just gotta fix it up a bit) oh, and it's super slow.... speed it up or something
i heard 2d mention something about 'taking it out of java'
