Problem is, path generation can only include the basic direction movement commands. The rest of the move commands would have to be added manually. So I’ll probably also make the pathfinding algorithm accessible from within the path editor so you can autogenerate a path and then customize it.

Of course, the ultimate solution is path finding and a function that simply moves an event to a set of coordinates, but that’s a bit more difficult to implement, and you still need the move event for RPG Maker compatibility.

If some of the more common event functions have been implemented, I might just start working in TURBU instead of RPG Maker.

Alright, real e-mail this time (I was away on holiday elsewise I would have checked this out much sooner): I really like the enhanced zoom/unzoom feature, but the bar itself takes up a lot of space. Maybe a little percentage thing (like you’ll find in Photoshop, for instance) would better serve, space wise? Once you get other things to jam in that top bar it’ll make a more noticeable difference, I think. It is a good feature though, much better than having to constantly test play to see how things will look at the right resolution.

The map view is working very well for me now. Events still display incorrectly and don’t animate at all (unless they are moving, in which case animation is very jerky) when using the little “play” icon (which animates water tiles correctly so far as I can tell). When I went to switch an event’s graphic I noticed the “select any frame” setup instead of the classic Rm2k3 setup, which I really like. I’d suggest using it at 2x the current resolution though, as it’s very small right now.

One error I’ve been getting consistently is a black space appearing when I switch maps: it appears everywhere but a certain part (usually equal to the screen minus one tile vertically in 200% view, or 26 tiles if I’m not mistaken) of the map. It seems to appear more regularly on maps that are vertically very long, but not often (I had it happen once) on square or horizontal maps. Using the “play” icon creates an error. It’s possible to continue through it, but since it continues to attempt animation, it just keeps generating itself.

Quick question: I use map tree branches pretty prodigiously to organize maps, so I was wondering two things: Is it possible to make the horizontal space between each new branch smaller, so as to not have the right edge cut off by the scroll bar? As an example, if you have
Map
Secondary Map
Tertiary Map
Specific Area 1
Specific Area 2
A lot of that information is concealed. It is currently about the same size as it is in Rm2k3. It’s not a major issue by any stretch, but it would be nice to have that information more compact, so I can glean more in the same space (sorry if my map tree text fomatting makes no sense when I post this).

Secondly, could you implement the ability to move maps up and down their respective trees? So, in the above example, shift Specific Area 2 to be above Specific Area 1 without dragging it elsewhere and then moving it back in. Like I said, I’m a stickler for organization (it helps me focus) so it’d be a big help. Jesus, this is a long comment!

If you’re having trouble with an import, please post a download link. I can fix that problem if I’m able to run it through the importer on my end.

The still frames thing is a bug I’m working on right now. It should be fixed in the next build, which will be up later today.

And as for the feature request, I’ll look into that, but to be honest it’s a lot easier to keep new features in mind if they’re on the issue tracker. A Google account is free to set up and if you’re worried about them collecting information, like some people are, they won’t get much if the only thing you use it for is submitting bug reports and feature requests.
