[0.98][Tile editor]UI improvement suggestions

from Elemental Forums

Some UI improvements are very much needed to the tile editor.

* The rotation adjusters are terrible as you have to move your mouse in a tiny tiny circle. Often you slip over into one of the other circles and rotation madness is a fact... Some way of using the keyboard here would be good.

* The XYZ-sliders move items in too large steps and requires very sensitive mouse movements. Again, being able to use arrow keys or something would be nice.

* No exact positions. Perhaps we need a box with a numerical value as well to make sure things have the same size or are at the same place.

* Load screen. I'd rather have a normal Windows interface here that lets me sort tiles by date etc. Imagine having several hundreds of tiles stored when you can only view 6 at a time...

Agreed, especially the load screen needs some work..

Both the map editor and the tile editor need serious patching, updates, improvements and love.

You do know you can use the mousewheel to move not only the sliders but the rotation ones as well. (I would however like the ability to input the number for quick rotation.)

 

As for the movement steps of things, I'm not sure but I think you can adjust that.

 

I personally would like a copy and past function for when you want more then one item of the same thing, that you have already moved.  Would save alot of time. 

 

Also, and this is minor, I could not find a fire emitter for a basic campfire, would really like this.

Nope didn't know that. :blush: It sure makes things easier.

I still want to be able to use the keyboard though.
