I can happily report that the scroll wheel functions works fine with Logitech MX500 and latest mouseware for XP. COuld you have it the other way around though. Wheel alone for zooming and with Ctrl for level switch ?

YES

Oops, msut lay off the hrbes. It's mnaikg caohs in my haed.

I have a couple of suggestions. 1: mouse wheel support, if possible. Allow view size changes by simply scrolling and switching levels with ctrl/alt/shift held whilst using the wheel. 2: A simpler way to reoder objects on a tile using ctrl/alt/shift and the cursor keys to move items up or down in the...

Quite so, I look forward to seeing more from both editors. Do you, UNNAMED BONE have any plans for "special" features in your editor, ie drawing tools etc ? I know andyboy has a couple of things he is adding to make life easier for the less experienced RTC dungeon master.

Well, after leaving the Netscape/Mozilla camp about a year ago when NS7.1 install trashed itself without recovery. I have been using Slimbrowser, an IE "wrapper". It functions well has some good features but lacks real flexibility. Now I have returned to looked at Mozilla FireFox 0.8 the l...

Looks like you have some competition for the first fully functional 3rd party ed here AndyBoy. UnNamedBone has certainly thrown down the gauntlet, and right out of the blue too.

Yes it certainly does Ollie I found out when testing stuff for a new HoC and it mucked up a really nice little teaser.

Simply add a door switch to the door and frame. It can be made invisible to not be seen, although it can still be clicked. I would like to see this altered so that you can have doors only openable by Zo. Rather than having to add extra mechanisms to keeps the party away fromt he door.

Thats' cool, I guess people editing "know" about the limitations of RTC. I look forward to more content. And again well done on a magical job.

Well, it's all still working fine, except one thing. You can now make levels too big. I think the editing area needs to be a maximum of 200x200. Will you eventually be adding graphics and cloning suppport along with champion creation/editing ?

Splendid, all seems well, I haven't managed to "break" this version yet. I'm curious, how long have you been making this, it just appeared fully formed out of the bluie.

Well for now this is all simply speculation. The "built in" monsters and objects specs are in the encyclopedia, so recreating them from scratch shouldn't be a problem. I guess that new "objects" will have types, monster, clothes_body etc, which will accept what ever options are a...

I also notice that after an error the editor WILL need restarting even though the GUI still calls the relevent functions. Another error will be produced by any further funtions, menu items etc...

Both this version and the last cannot open large layouts(200x200) the max size RTC supports. What is the max atm ?

Yes, on reflection I am inclined to agree, I think there will be a(nother) format change too. I'm looking forward to some exciting things happening to RTC soon, what with Gambit finding the unsupported "Properties" property for monsters etc. I'm hoping that soon cloning will be no more and...

Maybe Chiefy and Co. could update them. Who knows

Not having a Mac etc. I cannot verify what I am about to type. ;) You can get the latest PC version from Here. Although I'm of a mind that the .dat file will be the wrong endian, unless Motorola has adopted Intel endian. If this is the case you could try getting the Amiga ADF files or whatever ST em...

@ UNNAMED BONE I may be able to help with images. I just recovered some old images from my A1200 I'll clean them up. They are generic tiles in the style of the CSB map. (btw I will be offering them to the public domain as Ka5pianware {do what you like with them just link back to www.teakka5pian.tk})...

Wow, you made this with Java ? Although it's a little rough round the edges, you have certainly followed a nice design there, I like the "live" editing (not too many windows) And seeing as compiling cloned stuff isn't working in RTC atm the stuff you haven't done yet isn't too important. (...

Well it certainly looks the part. Like the spell gestures, I guess that will eventually have some nice particle glow instead of just a line. Can't fall down pits I notice And I can confirm door do in fact work.

Agreed, needs harder edges. Is that SAR upside down there? Personally I would favour GOR this being exclusively a map spell rune .

Yep that's all to do with the compile of cloned objects, it's not just the demo's it's any cloned stuff. This ranges from just not seeing the cloned stuff to a nice CTD (crash to Desktop). A dungeon with cloned stuff in WILL run OK when it is initially COMPILED but NOT from the stand-alone .RTC files.

I tried to use a spell cloud as th OPBY for a floor trigger ( assuming it was the "detonated" version of a spell) I can't seem to get any effect from the trigger although I fire spells at it from all directions (except south there is a wall there to detonate) anyone have any insite ? Floor...

I actually hope this data is useful to all you dungeon makers, for traps and sprint runs etc...

Indeed, if you are curious on how I tested this I can send a copy of the rtc to ya with destructions on how to achieve the times. If you can beat 1000 metres in 58 seconds that would be kool.

Hmm, interesting, and is that

YEs an update would be nice. I'm looking forward to 0.29/0.30 ?

I was messing with a few things in the editor and allong the way I have discovered a few things. 1 Km walked in the dungeon is equal to 314 floor tiles meaning one tile is 3.14 metres a side. Max speed of party is 1000 metres or 314 dungeon tiles in 58 seconds. 17.24 m/s or 62.01 kph or 678.74 in/s ...
