Shazam!! Complete with a way to see what tile you have selected!

And whoever changed the forum name, thanks.

nice :)

I like the way it 'pinpoints' the tile too.

Cleanup release (version 2.8).

Not really any exciting new features, check out the revision history in readme.htm.

Here's version 3.0 - it is rather different from version 2.x. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

I really like this new version :)

The best part is that it didn't take me any more than 5 minutes to figure everything out.

Keep up the good work, CK Guy!

Very nice!

How do I reach the tiles at the bottom of the tileset?

Good points:

The user friendly interface and familiar style of tile editing (like keen1-3) is nice, and the 'blown up' view of tiles help see the tile you are working with even better. I particularly like the way the foreground tiles also show the mask. (perhaps this could be shown as a 'transparent' color in future?)
Also, everything was made to fit in one window without being made too big! I think this would be the greatest improvement.

Bad points:

I don't think there is any way to reload tiles if you have updated since the program has started. Also, moving up and down can be frustrating, especially if you don't have a scroll button on your mouse. Also, you can't skip loading a bitmap, which can be a pain if you are only changing one aspect of the tileinfo.

How come I didn't notice this until now? :S

Cool! :)

(And, I did that score file modifier program and (DOS) end screen editor. (And started and stopped some other projects.))

Yeah, ".exw" is the file extension of the original source file. So, not a typo. ;-)

I'll try and fix some of this stuff at least for next version.

Please put in some way to see the bottom tiles if your mouse doesn't scroll...

Yes, yes, right now my version-in-development has a click-and-drag-the-right-mouse-button-to-scroll things, but I'm not quite happy with it. I guess if you don't have a mouse wheel, you can use version 2.8 until I come out with version 3.0.

Um, didn't you already come out with 3.0?

Version 3.0 shall be used for making my Keen4 mod ("Shards of Time") then. Thank you a lot for this release.,

Um, yeah, 3.1.

Anyway, sorry about this long delay - I've had schoolwork, went on a family vacation ... and I've been working on another Keen project ...
