Difficulty; 1/5(Not really even any code in this, Barely)

This tutorial... Is probably not going to be the best one. I'm not going to list all of the places where you have to change code, Too many.
First of all, Though, For those of you too lazy to Make a form for your Map Editor;
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6GZEOE6Q

That's set to the height and width of a Pokemon Tileset(I was fooling around with different tilesets, Lol)

Basically, All you have to do is Find and Replace(CTRL+F) And Look through all codes of frmMirage (there are also instances in some of the modules) that have to do with the mapeditor, And Replace the frmMirage.control instances with frmMapEditor.control. thanks to rian for helping me improve how i said that part ;P

The Only coding you have to actually do is the Command, Which is;
Code:
        frmMapEditor.Show
     With frmMapEditor
        .Width = 6800
        .lblTileset = Map.TileSet
           .scrlTileSet = Map.TileSet
           .scrlPicture.Max = (.picBackSelect.Height \ PIC_Y) - (.picBack.Height \ PIC_Y)
     End With

That is going in the ModGameEditor, Under the Map Editor Sub.
Comment out or Delete all of this;
Code:
    With frmMirage
      .Width = 14175
      .picMapEditor.Visible = True
     .lblTileset = Map.TileSet
        .scrlTileSet = Map.TileSet
        .scrlPicture.Max = (.picBackSelect.Height \ PIC_Y) - (.picBack.Height \ PIC_Y)
    End With


I'm probably missing something in this tutorial. It feels way too short To be right. I'll think about it and If I come up with what I did wrong I'll fix it.

NOTES:
Make sure you change the Width in the With frmMapEditor Code so it fits to your mapeditor.

I had a problem with Animation when I did this. I couldn't edit the maps, So I had to completely delete them so the animation problem would fix. I don't know how I caused it, Or How to fix it. Help me?

My Mapeditor works perfectly, Nothing is wrong. I just hope I did the tutorial right.

How to Edit MapEditor Width for a different tileset;
Code:
' Number of tiles in width in tilesets
Public Const TILESHEET_WIDTH As Integer = 7 ' * PIC_X pixels

Change the 7 to however many tiles wide your sheet is.

Btw. Asshole comments aren't welcome. If you're here to tell me how much the tutorial sucks and all this, I've heard it before. It's my second tutorial. I know any idiot with a brain could do this, better than I did even. You're wasting your energy trying to call me stupid, honestly. Heard that all before, Too.


This is normally when I'd edit your post to delete the above quote, as it really only encourages people to flame you. You're tutorial is nice, and informative.

That quote above is the only thing that I think may confuse newer mirage users.

I'm aware of this. I figured I would have already been flamed or something, to be perfectly honest.

But thanks, I'll change 'em.

Don't be afraid of getting flamed. The community isn't really that bad.



Anyway, I haven't downloaded your form yet, but it seems like it would be a good tutorial/resource.

I'm not afraid of being flamed, I was thinking I'd get a few flameposts though.

And Thanks ;P

Most programmers here will try to keep amound of forms used to a mimumen.

On the other hand, in a proper client, admin stuff should be taken out anyawy, in the rare event someone hacks admin access.

There's a shitload of forms anyways, One more won't hurt ;D
Why don't we put the training form into frmMirage. And Trade. and all this other stuff that would be possible to merge into that form D;< :P

That''d be a very good thing, in my opinion.
In my own ooold engine, I moved all editors in one form as well, it decreases file size, time it takes to compile, load, and probably some other things.

Oh, about your disclaimer, I don't think ANYONE has a problem with someone posting a tut. But, accepting critisismn (if it makes sense, that is) is a good way of improving your own programming skills, and makes the tutorial a bit better.

I've managed to cut my forms down to having 11. Still quite a few but better than the vanilla code :). I also want to get all my editors into a single form like Joost mentioned.

I prefer to have my map editor in it's own form though.

Hehe, totally correct, I can't take into account people's preferences ;p. If you prefer having it in an independant form, this is the way to go.

I don't mind constructive criticism in the least, It's the "OH you fail this tutorial sucks go get a new hobby you lifeless bastard" Kind of stuff I don't care for.
