Topic: [SUGGESTION] Change layer-size in the map-editor

It is pretty hard to change the layer-size. If you have a map, and want to make it 100x100 pixels bigger on all layers you have to click VERY much. Can someone fix so you can change the size on another way?

Holding shift and clicking should be enough, if the time it takes to click the size of your map is too long, your map is either too large, or you are putting way too little time into your maps.

Well if you add 2-3 new layers which you need to design on the whole map (200x 100 as example), than you have to click about 200 times... only for one layer. That size is normal for (Dummy) Drag Maps as example... I agree to this topic  - it would be really great if  there would come a new solution smile

Not much clicking doesn't mean that I don't spend enough time for a map...

Re: [SUGGESTION] Change layer-size in the map-editor

whitefire is totally right smile
its to make it less annoying to change size of all the map
it isn't a big deal but things like that lose your time and time is money
ci11y if you like taking 10 mn to change the size of each layers you can but don't judge others
no maps are too big its subjective and it doesnt mean anything if you dislike losing ur time
as I said i m gonna make a modded client just with some stuff fixed no  big deal

Re: [SUGGESTION] Change layer-size in the map-editor

A temporary solution that comes to mind is using an auto-clicker which simulates large amounts of clicks in a very short time. The good ones can be used pretty versatile and have many purposes, probably helping with this issue as well.

In time a more functional solution will probably be added to the game though.

Re: [SUGGESTION] Change layer-size in the map-editor

Yes smile
When you choose the para x and y you just have to move the mouse to the right or too the left to change the position
In my client I used that function and edited it so that I can use it with the width and height
Anyway this function is really easy to use

I did one like that a long time ago
something like that
its with the SDL library  so there should be some stuff to adapt.
if(width)
{
while (go)
{
    SDL_WaitEvent(&event);
    switch(event.type)
    {
        case SDL_QUIT:
            go = 0;
            break;
        case SDL_MOUSEMOTION:
           if(mousePosition.x > event.motion.x)
            width = mousePosition.x - event.motion.x;
          else if(mousePosition.x < event.motion.x)
            width = event.motion.x - mousePosition.x  ;
            break;
    }

}
}
this is for the width

Re: [SUGGESTION] Change layer-size in the map-editor

I actually made a simple autoklicker about one year ago as I used now.

Anyway, good that I'm not alone with this problem, hope it comes a solution.
