I wonder, wchich editor do you prefere from all of (including DMjava, DMbuilder etc etc etc.)

RTC for sure, to me CSBuild is just a little more complicated although I'm positive it has a lot of advantages too!

I prefer to play on RTC too rather than CSBwin because sound to me is an integral part of gameplay, and since I have no footstep sounds in CSBwin then it takes away part of the feel for me.

I appreciate the effort in RTC and really like the sound effects. However, CSBWin plays smoother for me. Also, the slow sleeping in RTC is a huge obstacle for me. This is why I prefer playing CSBWin, and so my first attempt at dungeon building is currently done in CSBuild. I haven't really tried anything else, though.

DMute as far it's possible to be used.

I think they all have strengths and weaknesses and can't easily be compared.

Now there's a man more conservative than I.

I know, that they couldn`t be compared... but I have to choose one. I guess most of players prefere to playing in CSB, right?

yes but most of designers prefer RTCeditor...

Judging from the list, it's evenly balanced.
There's been a recent wave of RTC releases, which corresponds to the apparition of the RTC editor months ago.
I wonder, however, if the next dungeons will not be for CSBwin.

I'm not conservative! I'm just, um, deeply rooted in my ways.

Seriously though, I've found DMute to be the most clear editor for me. Maybe it's just because I'm used to it. Maybe I should try making a DMute graphics set for CSBuild and see if that would help me get used to it instead...

All this talk of DMbuild recently (well, one person talking about it) reminded me how much I got into it when doing the start of a temple dungeon. I still love DMute though - first I used, one I understood best, one I oculd do eveil thigns too.
Getting the hang of CSBuild though, so have occasionally started doing the beginning of dungeons with it then going 'wait, you dn't have the focus to mess aroudn with this!' Might convert the temple dungeon to it...

Toni, have you tried gambit's alternative tile set to CSBuild. No offense to Pual, but I hate his tile set with a fiery passion and admit it put me off the editor when it first came out in the dim mists of the past! With Gambit's tile set though, it just feels really nice! I admit it, I am shallow...

I use Gambit's set too.
However with the last CSBuild versions there are some new kinds of tiles. Paul's tileset have them. Gambit's set don't.
Compare both tilesets to add them to Gambit's. Its a simple operation that will take 30s.

I like the RTC editor but the CSBwin player... I liked DMute a lot and still use it for a few things... too bad everytime I make progress I lose everything. :p I swear I've made some cool dungeons... just never finished them nor been able to post them. lol
