Yep. Please join us if you're interested, because it's much easier to get something sorted this way

@Exl: Python + wxWidgets is cool, Python can be learned pretty quick but wx is maybe tougher. I can only do the basic things (well, for work, which means that I don't manipulate images, only grey combo boxes, edit fields and lists )
Since you master VB in the sense you have no problems making editors with it (Froggy+CC), stick with it!
BTW I've seen Kroah's work (C# .net) on Cadaver level viewer and it certainly rocks!

this has piqued my interest =)

Updated OT again with version 2.5.0.2. Thanks to some feedback, a few important bugs are squashed.

[TCD]

My very first try from scratch. Nothing fancy, but it works (thanks to a lot of help from Exl )

[capehorn]

Installs properly now.

Really nice work! Nice and simple user interface. Ah the art of tool development, I'll probably never be bored with it

[TCD]

Well, just a small update on my part Started to work 'seriously' on a new level today and can only say that the editor works nicely for the basic tile/level layout Once that is done, I'll also start on making a FAQ for the editor. So if people wonder if they can use the editor, that's a definitive yes

[capehorn]

I can't wait to play some of these custom levels.

[TCD]

Well, what about having a look yourself? It's not that hard and we are on IRC to help you

Can I have unlimted Actors per level? How do I add extra Actors?

[TCD]

Not sure about 'unlimited', but you can have quite a few
To add a new actor first go to 'Level' -> 'Base actors...' and click on 'Add copy'. Now edit your new base class. Afterwards just go to the actor editing mode, press space to insert one and change it to the new base actor type

Cheers -Yep that worked fine

[BippyM]

This is fantastic, and I cannot wait to see some of the levels..

Can the gfx be changed (palettes and tiles etc)?

The tiles are fairly easy to alter anyway and just wonderd if you were going to include a option for this.

So, start editing today I already tried to talk Dast into making some, but you know him being a BB fanboi and a Dan Malone worshipper doesn't help much Let's see who will join and which features get added next

Right, basic layout of my level is done. 112x84 tiles. Now on to adding the fun stuff

[Peter]

I think Matt should interview one of the original Chaos Engine creators/coders and then ask them to build a new level for all us loyal Amiga Chaos Engine players on this excellent new editor!!!

[TCD]

Update on the fun stuff : It's fun indeed
Learning curve is quite steep and you can pull of quite nice stuff with it. I know that Exl is already annoyed by my fanboism, but damn this is really good stuff for someone that likes CE

[Peter]

It is great fun - my attempts are looking rather abstract though... I need to practice more... someone with a little more flare for art or design would love this...
