Crash/exception:

• When I put a guard at the same place multiple times, his sword becomes more and more white. As if there were multiple guards drawn on top of each other.
  • After I put the guard 61 times, I get an unhandled exception:

    Code: Select all

    System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

  • The same happens if I reload a room with a guard. For example load "guards.xml" and click "Start Room" many times.
• Open a level, but don't select a room. Click File -> Save:

  Code: Select all

  System.ArgumentException: Requested value 'none' was not found.

Something does not work:

• When I change room, the editor forgets all edits. Unless I saved before.
• If I want to put a closed gate or exit left/right, then the editor puts space instead.
  • Except if I want to put an exit where there is already an exit.
• If I put a potion/sword, the floor disappears under it.
• If I put a kid/guard, the tile under him becomes a floor.
• If I put a guard, the kid can disappear. Only if the kid is already there after opening the level.
• File -> New: Only the room is cleared. If I press a Room button, the previous level appears again.

Smaller problems:

• The tiles should overlap each other, as in the game.
• When I open a level, the starting room should appear automatically.
• File -> Load: Numbers (0-25) are added to the "Room Index" list even if they are already there.
  • This fixes itself when I open a level from the Level Editor page.
  • You should fill the list only once, when the editor starts.
• The arrangement of the Left/Right/Up/Down Room buttons is a bit confusing.
• When I change room, the editor switches to Space.
• The selected tile (on the right) should be highlighted.
• The textboxes should be read-only, unless writing into them does something.

Thanks for your time testing this David, btw why you want to add guard multiple times to same tile, and why to up 61 guards?? Ill fix this crash becuase they are priority, for the bugs, ill take time to do further testing...

[David]

btw why you want to add guard multiple times to same tile,

Just for testing. Anyway, it crashes even if I choose a different tile every time.

and why to up 61 guards??

I tested it again and now it's 31. Maybe I was clicking too fast the first time.
You probably used an array of size 30 somewhere and it's overflowing.

Yes, i have checked the code and made some fixes, also im trying to overlap tiles to get better graphic level layout, the real problem is that for the editor, the real tiles coordinate does not fit with the mouse coordinates.
