Hello everybody!
This is a little unfished contribution, a tile based game editor (2DGS).



The code is not very complicated, a level is read from a text file, copied into an array and panels are created. A value above zero is a solid tile, 0 is ignored and below zero it is a background or a special (for example player's start position) panel.
To reduce the amount of panels, a small code checks if 2 or 4 panels with the same bitmap can be replaced by a bigger one (see end of video).

Amazing!
I made a 2D Game Engine using the Ruby Programming Language, but this is better and you used 3D GameStudio.

Thanks.

Indeed, this is very amazing !!
Btw, don't be to modest gOmO_3, this isn't very easy to achieve

Cheers

Wow this could come in handy for me thx alot dude
Im looking forward too whats coming up next
PS: the download file is bad where do I have to put it

@gOmO_3

Can you publish the editor?
Because I cant see any Level Objects/Panels with my 3dgs Version (6.40.5)

@aztec

rename the download file into "2DGS.zip" ;-)

An excellent contribution. It brings back memories of screwing around with my old Action Arcade book and Fastgraph in the early 90s creating A Link to the Past and Castlevania IV clones clones. Thanks for making me feel like a geezer.

Hell, you should expand upon this if you ever have time or feel up to it. This is a pretty unique contribution.

This is very cool Felix! Thank you!
I had the same problem with the panels not showing up, but I could see most of
the edit panel after making the window full screen.

astonishing
This is awsome great job!

few bugs:

pause mode when opening/saving level locks up the editor
opening level isn't working
I want my own tiles =/

This is very cool, my kids and myself love what you have done.

Thank you.
