You can maximize the window to fullscreen or use the scrollbars to move around. There is no real interface yet as I just wanted to get something done quickly so I could start making some collision maps for testing in TDG. There is probably alot I could do to improve it.

What I need to do is change it so you can drag select the grid and then use + and - keys to quickly go through numbers.

Updated ColMap Editor so you can drag and select multiple cells at once and now you use the "+" and "-" keys to add or subtract a value. Values can be from 0x00 to 0xFF. Unfortunately it's a bit hard to read the values at a glance, so you may need to use the mouse to roll over cells to read their value in the toolbar.

is there a way to have direct value entry mate?

It will take me quite a while to get to 64 for my death collision value. How about when the pointer is over a cell and numerics are press, enter the values? and delete returns 0.

Okay uploaded a new version which allows you to enter two digits to the current selection and delete will clear the selection.

I really wish my wife was a attentive as you... LOL

Another (sorry) little thing that may also help... If you hold the mouse over a cell, display a little box (that vanishes when mouse moved) that contains the cells value in an easy to read form (i.e black box, white text)

Sorry, I will shut up now!!

It's a good idea so I implemented it ;)

This has been updated with some bug fixes.

- Cut, copy and paste added.
- Export per-pixel colmap's (untested) make sure you have the first color enty as the background as it counts every other pixel as an "on"
