Remember XP's autotiles? If you wanted a particular one of the 48 possible patterns, you just double-clicked on the autotile on the palette, and it opened up a little window with all the possible combinations, and you could select which one to draw. Then you just click on the map and it draws that one autotile, specifically the pattern you selected, without changing the surrounding autotiles.

In MV if you want a specific autotile, you have to have an out-of-the-way part of the map where you could draw it, then you have to do the shift-copy/shift-paste to get it where you really want it to go. And hope that no other part of your map is messed up in the process.

I'd love it if MV lets you double-click, select a specific pattern on that autotile, and then draws with it, without redrawing the surrounding tiles, and keeps drawing with that pattern until you either select from the palette again, or right-click (which effectively selects another tile to draw with).

...I did not know that was a feature of XP and now I am sad that it wasn't continued on to VX/Ace and MV. Why not?! It's such a handy feature for mapping!

I never understood why they removed that either.

This was such an important mapping feature and one of many things I think went backwards with the newer editors.

Yeah, I always draw a circle sorta thing and shift map of that, so I see this feature could be useful. Didn't know it was in XP.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
