says in thread it isnt the latest.
If not, were is the source for this editor?
Bump, anyone? This editor keeps crashing every 5mins, and can't view half the objects as they too far to the left.

Even though it has been edited, you should give it a try.

What's the point without the source code?
Also, I am no friend of introducing features that cut into map viewing area. There is a reason why its called Map Editor, not Map Viewer!
what are those two boxes on the right?
EDIT: google translate says: MiniMap Preview & Layer Information

It integrates Tile Set program, not sure now which version. This added menu icon saves the Tile Set change made in that panel.
The editor doesn't show the map, also doesn't display Objects or libraries content (which explains why it won't show the map I opened). Maybe it needs to run inside Data (tested, no change) or something. But it knows about the loaded map since it shows which libs it is using.
Besides the usual Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll & Microsoft.DirectX.dll supporting files, it adds Map Editor.pdb & MapTileSet.exe
If this Tile Set program would be 'fixed' (I had very mixed experience with it and it was heavily on the disappointing side), that would be a plus.
Now it started loading maps, no idea why it didn't before. But the 'minimap' view seems to have weird aspect, probably the map itself also, one other thing, zooming out messes up tile display.
Maps won't load again after the editor restart and when they do load, something is seriously messed up with their display...

This is an old version, the new version has fixed the issue of shrinking display

There is no need to have the map displayed while you are re-assigning its libraries.
Also, you do this Tile Setting once in a while but then anytime you are editing maps, you have to put up with a third of your view being taken by this panel that does nothing for you. That minimap panel is also not all that useful, not at the expense of taking up so much map view space. It should be displayed on demand only, toggled on and off.
But the main point is, without the code source, the one who made these 'improvements' can stick it to his grubby chest. He takes but doesn't volunteer to give back!

I just had a peak at the program and it's been obfuscated
It's weird people can take other's work, edit some small features into it, obfuscate it and then give it back out

I think those who brought it here did it from a good will, not being aware of the whole context of what's going on.
Thanks for checking the program for obfuscation, that is something I wouldn't know how go about it.
When I make next release, I will only send the code to those few here who ask for it, like some server owners need to adjust libraries scope. Or I can ask what they need and adjust it myself.
I am of a mind of maximizing lib counts across the board but I recall vaguely that Far objected to that, something to do with slowing down the program (as always). I believe currently the ShandaMir2 libs are maxed out, you can add some 70 libs to the existing stock ones.

Thanks for the link
I've tried all versions I can and this is the only one that can make me a bigmap reliably for extra large maps without crashing! You saved me aha
