The editor HWE can open levels Wolfenstein Sextilogy 3 or Spear End of Destiny?

The undo option has me excited. Hope this project doesn't die out like all the other editors.

Yes, you can open levels from Spear of Destiny and Wolfenstein Sextilogy 3. You can even edit the levels.

first of all, congratulations on the editor.

anyway, i would like to ask:

can i make the window bigger or it has to be that size? because for bigger maps, its a bit annoying.

Yes, some people complain about the small editing screen for Chaosedit. Be good to not have that here.

Well, if your map is bigger than 64x64 tiles scrollbars are getting displayed in order to reach the remaining tiles of the map. Anyways, I can make the window size changeable in the next version. This way you don't have to use the scrollbars anymore, if your screen resolution is high enough. I might even add a zoom feature for people who think that the current size of the map symbols (8x8 pixel) is too small for them - no promise, though.

ok, it would be nice to be able to see the entire map (or at least more than 64x64) at the same time.

thanks for the attention

Alright, I've added the zoom functionality to the editor. You can also change the editor's size now, in order to see more than 64x64 tiles at a time; given that the map is bigger than 64x64 tiles or if the zoom level is higher than 1. Both features will come with the next version of HWE.
