Disappointments in the editor

[finlay]

I don't know if it's too late to change anything, and I can't remember if this was mentioned before, but a big disappointment for me is the continued existence of those menus to select monsters with: it's a real pain to select it from a menu when you could have a big visual picker like the terrain one, and menus are a general pain.

It would be nice to have the selector in a floating window or something as well.

Also, the outdoor section selector annoys me, having that numerical input when it would make more sense to select it from a grid.

 

Of course, I'm probably too late

Whelp, the source code was included, so, if you wanted to mangle a version of the BoA Scenario Editor of your own using C, you could make one which included a visual picker for the monsters and items yourself.

There probably should be a movement to add some improvements to the editor -- but let's wait until Jeff most of the bugs out of the main program first.

 

Personally, I want a tool that allows me to click on a square and tell me the x,y coordinates of that square. Relying on this "center square" stuff is annoying.

I agree. Plus we should wait until the Windows version of the editor has been released so that any changes we make can easily be added to that one also.

Don't bother waiting - Jeff will implement any changes in both versions equally.
