Here are some pictures of new things I'm working on. They show off generating (very basic at-the-moment) ICO files for SOM_MAP to use. They're embedded in the shortcuts, so you can see them in the MAP/MODEL folders.

Also on display is an alternative layout for SOM_MAP, with a larger display area. I'm trying to make it possible to switch with the min/max buttons.

For the icons I have to play around with some lighting and fog-like effects, and add some sharpening.

This preview has some effects to help to tell tiles apart when they technically look the same from above.

Release

I've uploaded my work for having a big editor and tiles like in the link above. I'm going to package it into a blog post ASAP.

---

Language packs for big editor can be found here:

https://www.swordofmoonlight.net/text/

They go in the text folder, or use the SOM.exe (Dragon Sword) tool to redownload your tool language pack.

Use SVN Update (recommended) and follow the component update prompts, or the following direct download links:

http://csv.swordofmoonlight.net/SomEx.dll/1.2.4.6.zip
http://csv.swordofmoonlight.net/x2mdl.dll/1.0.0.2.zip
