Topic: [REQUEST] Scrollbars in map editors

hello everyone,

it would be really nice of a c++ coder if he would make a scrollbar in the mapeditor in Teeworlds,so  a mapper like me could better make a bigger map with more tilesets and 
more quads , so everyone could have  more fun .

thak u if someone codes a functional scrollbar at the left of the map editor big_smile

jxsl13 wants a fix of editor.
He want to add more tilesets, than is the size of window opened by right clicking on layer and choosing image. I have same problem in TeeCity map.
He also wants a scrollbar in the layer+groups list, because of when you make more than editor can view, it is simply hidden under the edge of the editor.

Re: [REQUEST] Scrollbars in map editors

thats a rly good request^^
if im right, this request was posted many times before, in other threads.

but even if the request is right, the limited layers in the editor are even good. because it keeps the KiB of the maps down ^.^

i would rly love it to have  scrollbar ö.Ö xD sounds a bit crazy this post X_X

Re: [REQUEST] Scrollbars in map editors

magnet: The problem is that the layer list has no scrollbar, so the amount of layers you can have on a map is limited to what your screensize can hold. Even though this might pose a real problem for some, if you need so many layers you should definitely start thinking about optimizing your map.

i have to second chi11y. If you need more than the currently provided layers you need to optimise your map.

This is wrong because of the current engine of teeworlds. Teeworlds is initializing all fields of a map - empty fields too. This will increase the connecting time and memory usage extremely. Just try to make some big layers with empty fields and you will got a connection timeout.

One solution is to use offsets (Pos X and Pos Y) and group near objects to reduce the empty fields that are used. The problem is that this solution needs a lot of layer groups/layers and the layers must be splited into multiple little layers. This will increase in a very big game performance than using less and big layers with much empty fields.

Because of this solution scrollbars are needed to make this type of optimized maps.

Re: [REQUEST] Scrollbars in map editors

maybe i only want make a big map with the standart mapres`and so i could need so many layers.

no everyone make a big map , but for a little nice map u casn need many layer , too.

@ pocram where are the screens from ?
maybe this person has already a scrollbar and could  make it public ?
