In a post a while back i asked for some feature suggestions for a potential Map Editor. For the past few months i have been working on this program and am now ready to show what i have implemented so far.
As you probably know, the effort to implement a fully fledged map editor is huge. That is why i have implemented a what is call Map Viewer inspired by Mapgen Explorer - #21 by _Fuji. This allows you to open up files with Mapgen entries and view the map in a graphical way. When you make changes to the file, the map that is displayed is automatically reloaded with the new changes. With this you can easily create a new map without having to reload the game and see what the map looks like.
Example with house_01
This program can be downloaded on GitHub under the releases tab.
If you have any suggestions, feedback or bugs you would like to report, feel free to comment on this post or create a new issue in the repository.
I have plans to turn this program into a Map Editor in the future (It is called a Map Editor for a reason). But this felt like the quickest feature to implement to get some feedback and make something that is actually usable.
