NEW UTILITY FINISHED (Pumpkin Paster Map Edit tool)

[kilroyfx]

After making it through Beta-Testing, and a few rounds of bug fixing.......I am posting a small utility that works alongside of SOM's map editor program.

Please download and try it out, let me know of any bugs, suggestions or general comments....It's basic function is to add more functionality to the current map editor. ‎  It will allow you to rotate map sections and duplicate items,objects,npcs, enemies....and rotate them with your duplicated map section.

It has numerous other features.....

Here it is. ‎  Please place it in its own folder.

If you have a map called 63.map rename it please, this program uses that slot.

Also, while get familiar with this program I would use it on a backup of your KF project, not on originals until you get the hang of it.

This has been tested by 4 experienced KF game/level designers and is useful, fun and safe :)

An EXTREMELY helpful utility!!!
I think this should become a sticky so it doesn't ever get buried in the forum- unless a permanent link gets made somewhere else on the site.
I used it for the first time 'officially' to lay a river through an outdoor area. It turned what would have been a grueling repetitive process into a few easy clicks.

I'll bet Tom and Todd are wishing they had this utility when they were building their maps :)

Stickied this for now...once Kilroy releases his non-beta version I will make sure this finds a home on the main site addons section.

I still need to get your new sky, and object kit on there too john.

well done, and I definitely intend to mess with this utility soon.

And, ya....I would have given my left testicle to have something like this a while back :P

I am posting some images of the program in action....This works side-by-side with the Map Editor....It is smart enough to remember its screen position, and settings automatically....The program has unique surfing ability to run on top of the SOM map editor...!!

Comes with full help pages...!! And, works with all versions of the SOM map editor...ITS FREE !! Did I say its free?? ‎  Also nice little info,settings, and help icons at the bottom....

Hard to show it in action, but trust me its very cool, and easy to use :) You can mirror, rotate and composite sections of your ‎  already built map, and the great part is it duplicates all the items,objects and npcs associated with it...perfectly rotating and positioning them too !! So when you run the map you can see everything fits together perfectly...

Holy Moses!

I want to make sure all the game makers take a peek at this, I can see where this would be very handy.

Damn you for not making this a year ago ! ‎

I've had this for a while, but I still don't understand it, nor can get it to work. ‎
