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 :( Posts: 316 | Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00 |

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. -------------------- -Daravon Posts: 104 | Registered: Friday, March 8 2002 08:00 |

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.

quote: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. ;) Posts: 117 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

Don't bother waiting - Jeff will implement any changes in both versions equally. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
