GLEED2D - Generic Level Editor 2D

Version History

• changed: 'Scale' now is a Vector2 (was float) so textures can be scaled differently in X and Y dimension (hold down the X or Y key while scaling to limit scaling to the desired dimension). older level files must be converted for this to work! GLEED2D detects that when opening a level and asks the user to convert the file automatically.
• allow keys 1,2,3 to be used when drawing a PathItem
• as in "Run Level", a user script/exe can be executed each time the level is saved (new tab "Save Level" in settings dialog)
• ability to change the default line width of new primitive paths (new setting "DefaultPathItemLineWidth")
• ability to completely turn on/off the colorhighlight function (new setting "EnableHighlightOnMouseOver")

• added: "Snap to Grid"-Button on main tool bar

• changed: handling of settings file is more robust (settings.ini is created by code if it doesn't exist on startup)
• added: more TextureOriginMethods ("TopLeft", "TopRight", "BottomLeft", "BottomRight")
• added: origin of TextureItems is editable in the property grid
• changed: origins are visualized differently (boxes vs. circles)
• added: keys "1","2","3" can be used instead of left, middle, right mouse button
• added: Quick Guide under "Help" menu

• added: Snapped grid position is shown when adding items
• bugfix: Several bugfixes with "Snap to Grid" and Primitive Items.
• bugfix: Got rid of "Paths do not have a common base"-Exception (when textures were on a different drive than the level's ContentRootFolder)

• Added: New Menu "View": Grid and World Origin
• Added: Grid and World Origin Appearance fully customizable in Settings Dialog (Snap to grid, Color, etc.)
• Added: New Setting "DefaultTextureOriginMethod": TextureCenter or Centroid (useful if you plan to use a physics engine like Farseer and have the physics engine create the collision polygons from the texture -> the origin is then calculated as the center of mass = Centroid)
• Added: New Tool: Link selected Items by a Custom Property
• Minor Bugfixes
• IMPORTANT! Level.cs has been changed, replace it in your project in case you used it!

• bugfix: log.txt now is always saved in the editor's working directory
• bugfix: no exception if texture doesn't exist on level loading, but error message instead
• bugfix: JPG and BMP textures can now be selected/moved
• since GIF format is not supported by the internal texture loading function (see this thread), GIF textures are not shown in the Texture Browser
• added: Colorkeying for loading textures. The transparent color can be changed in the Settings Dialog (Default: Magenta).

• Minor bugfix.

• Added logging to log.txt in working directory
