MAPS
Map size in map settings reads 64x63.
There is a Start Sky_2 (Trees) in the floor codes.
Map editing could maybe need a zoom tool.
Undo/redo buttons for map editing are a must.
Import/export of single maps in various map editor formats.
ID number next to the selected wall/object/floor.
Some sort of -Enter-ID-box. In ChaosEdit's 2D edit it's called 'Tile Numbers' with a white box beneath. You enter a number and can put that on the map. Quick way to test things which may change later on in projects under development.

Useful would be also statistics for enemies, treasures, health, bosses, difficulty, and so on. Perhaps even a way to set their attribute on how they count via the map definitions.
Map definitions have 3D directional sprite options but no function?
I like that you can mark map parts and just drag them around and draw beneath the part.

Right click in 3d/map edit does same as left click. It seems underused this way. Right click is also underused in the paint area.

3D
Cpu/Ram usage seems a bit heavy for 3D edit. Doubles or even triples on my end.
3D Edit broke at some point. Start position was each time 0:0, soon after rooms didn't even render anymore and reset player location did nothing.

Would be neat if the  'select object/texture/floor sub windows' in 3D edit could be displayed all at the same time, also scalable in size and usable in the 2D map editor.

SPRITES
The palette in the sprites tab seems to have an odd order. I guess sorted by similar colors for easier painting but hard to figure out if you look for specific colors like the mask background color. Maybe a button to pick an order and the palette number of the picked color would be useful.
Apply filter doesn't seem to do anything.
Exported graphics are 24 bit.
A faster way to add/import/export resources. Especially with graphics it can get tedious to do one by one.

MISC
Personally i would prefer to have the settings file saved in the program folder instead of user\appdata\local.

Editor didn't want to start up the next time and kept crashing with a "List index out of bounds (0)". Had no idea which file to remove since removing settings didn't fix it. The other time it crashed on boot with an access violation.

The system font option and preview is a pretty great thing to have. Would have saved me plenty of time and trouble in the past.

Haven't really tested it yet but nice that you can load different palette file formats. Loading a 24 bit image to get a palette from crashes the editor.
Fun to see that the bright OBC palette finally got around. No more overly dark sprite rips by people haha
The palette convertor seems quite useful. Interesting idea that one can set different palette for different sections (e.g. 3D view).

And apologies for a late reply concerning this matter, but the issue I mentioned in this post in the other thread still isn't resolved, unfortunately.

Keep up the good work.

hi serpens , Finally I was able to find what caused this issue  -  caused in case you are using *.wmc files , i fixed it,  Let me know if everything is fine.

The tiles you hover over in MapEdit could need the id number. It works fine if you have map definitions but without it would be handy to see a number to tell same-looking tiles apart.
Not sure if intended or useful, currently the wall tile  remains when hovering the mouse from wall to floor or vice viscera.


"Tile Numbers" i was referring to as Enter-ID-Box. Normally you can click on it with the mouse in ChaosEdit but on Windows 10 it seems only accessible when pressing the TAB key several times. You enter a number and press enter, after you can click on the icons below to use them. Works for numbers that aren't defined too. WDC should have a similar method but in a different design.


Took me a moment to realize that there is another menu with options on top. The tile replacer is good to have. Locating the player start is is a fun little feature. Should make it easier on chaotic maps.


The item list on the side of the WL MapEdit should make it certainly faster. Btw. this is what i meant about picking ChaosEdit's object/walls/textures from the 3D Edit windows in 2D mapedit.

Chaos and MapEdit (DOS) map format for import/export in case they aren't supported yet. Can't test it right now but there are still a few people using those editors.


Pressing the right arrow on bottom right makes it crash.

Loading files without/with vswap, going to 3D Edit, loading files without/with vswap again and trying 3D Edit again seems to overflow some things. Also it loads the original graphics without a vswap. No idea if this is intended.
