Letter for Mimi 2 – wip #26
Using the tiles window you can select a tile, if you then click on a tile in the map window it will change it to the one you had selected. The whole tilemap doesn’t fit in the little window so I will have to add scrollbars to it.

In the image above you can see the current state of the map interface in the Letter for Mimi 2 editor. The tiles are double their actual size (the actual size being 16×16 pixels). What is cool here is that all tiles are loaded from a single tilesheet. The map you see at the moment …

In the screenshot above you can see that I have added a ‘show coordinates’ option, this will display the current x and y position of the player in the top left corner of the screen. Having this in the production version might be useful for people who follow guides to find secrets in the game. …

I have changed the grass overlay so it is an extra layer on top of the background tiles. Before this, a sprite was continuously being updated to the position of a character. Both approaches worked, but the latter increased the number of calculations per frame, so it might decrease performance when a lot of characters …

Today I fixed the checkItem event, it is now able to check if multiple items (even duplicates) are present in the inventory. The next line in the dialogue will be the line with id 6 if there are two Town Maps in the inventory and one Test item. If this condition is not met, the …
