Level Editor Update

DUGA
A downloadable shooter for Windows and macOS

Level Editor now supports larger maps

With DUGA being hardware accelerated, it makes sense to create some bigger custom maps. This is now possible to do in the level editor. In fact, it was also possible before, but due to the editor being a hard-coded mess, it would not fit most monitors for large maps. I had issues with 25x25 tiles maps myself - quite a limit. 

Thanks to BeefTastingJerky, I finally got around to "fixing" it after only a week or so.


So what is new?

Pros and cons

This solution is not perfect, nor is the editor.
Pros: you can make larger custom maps and the tiles are only scaled down when necessary. 

Cons: the textures get really small, so it is difficult to distinguish them from each other or downright impossible to see in some cases (the knife texture is just too small to see - so you need to remember its position)

So this solution is a compromise, really. You can use the editor as you normally would without feeling any changes in small maps.

Please let me know if you encounter errors or crashes that are not explained in this post.

I hope you will find this useful!
