Well, Mawane suggested me this probably almost 2 years ago and finally, no less than few days ago, I decided to make it.

OLE is an Online Level Editor. It takes advantage of html5 <canvas> and javascript and runs on your browser*. Features aren't as massive as other editors have, but who cares! No you can enjoy creating levels in places where you might have a limited access installing custom programs!

Basically, you have all the tools needed: create/edit polygons and objects. Here are some hints if you want to try OLE:

• While Polygon-tool active, hold [ctrl] and click vertex to delete the vertex
• While Polygon-tool active, right click a vertex to change polygon between grass/ground
• While Move-tool active, hold [ctrl] and drag vertex to move the whole polygon
• While Apple/Killer/Flower-tool active, hold [ctrl] and click any object to delete object
• Right click and drag background to move the area displayed in the canvas
• Use mouse scroll to zoom in/out. Direction depends on your browser!!!

You can also give the level a name and filename. Foreground and background also available.

To-do list includes such things as:

• Pictures if orka
• Open level
• Suggestions taken

Known bugs:

• If you zoom in/out while editing polygon/moving object, you might see something unexpected

OLE!

*Tested only with the newest versions of Opera, Chrome and Firefox, does not work at least in IE.

Any idea why it doesn't work in firefox?

_________________

Fucking broken image every month

I think the problem lies with getting mouse coordinates.
mouseX = event.offsetX in javascript, I think this doesnt give correct value in firefox. I will try to fix some day..

Very pro online tool, great work ! I like the OLE! name too it's fun

requests :

• can you bind mouse-navigation to the middle-button of the mouse, and let it be active all the time, not only when [move] tool is active ?
• zoom on cursor position

tomorrow, I stop.

Nice suggestions, I will work on those when I first fix teh firefox.

Ville_J's Elasto Mania stuff

Ok, works now also in Firefox!!!!!!

OLE just got better!

New features:

• Define level background/foreground
• Right click and drag background to move the area displayed in the canvas
• Zoom to mouse point
• While Move tool active, hold [ctrl] and drag vertex to move the whole polygon
• Status bar shows hints while [ctrl] down

Changed:

• While Apple/Killer/Flower tool active, hold [ctrl] and click any object to delete object

Works fine in Firefox

except for saving lev...

Saving worked fine in Firefox for me. Did you notice that you just get the download link for the lev in the corner?

Cool, maybe you can now be more active also in other topics!

And yeah, everything should work in Firefox, Opera and Chrome. But if you have very small resolution then you might not see the download link that appears below the Create lev -button. I am constantly working on this thing so you can expect some new features every once in a while.

Ville, you could try to make undo/redo button i miss it a bit.

I did a few levs, some stuff I came upon to, some of which you know already:

Zoom in works in an expected way now, zoom out doesn't.

When in apple/killer/flower mode, you can remove objects even if you're not CTRL+clicking on them. Say you put 10 apple objects, remove the object #1 appropriately by CTRL + mouseclicking on it, you can remove the other objects by CTRL + mouseclicking in empty space, in order #2, #3 etc.

Polygon intersection check.

I used Chrome.

_________________

Zoom works so that the point (of the level) where your mouse is positioned stays always the same when zoom in/out. If I changed the zoom out method it would mean that when you zoom out the point would change. So, if you zoom in, then zoom out and then again zoom in, the point (of the lev) under the mouse would change all the time and I don't think that would be very good thing. But I guess I know what you mean.

_________________
Ville_J's Elasto Mania stuff

Yeah I thought of that, so actually let me rephrase: it's kinda "near perfect", but possible to do some minor extra polishing when very far zoomed out

_________________

If anything could be done about the lag when making new vertices I think that should be priority number one. I don't want to have to wait for a couple of milliseconds to see that I actually get the line I want before making each new vertex.

Oh and I also don't like the cursor when moving vertices - it's too big and ugly for delicate levelmaking.

I'm sorry if I sound very negative, but at the moment I'll only focus on the things I personally would like to see changed. All the things I don't mention I'm fine with, I just can't be bothered writing them down)

I'm afraid there's not much I can do concerning this matter. I believe you are using either Chrome or Opera? If you try OLE with Firefox you can see it is smoother and there isn't much lag. This is also "fixed" in Opera Next. I think it has something to do with <canvas> and javascript optimization in browser. Well, I'm sure my code is not fully optimized but I won't put much effort trying to fix it in my code since they can (will) fix it directly in browsers =) And what comes to the cursors, I will definitely change/make my own cursors later but atm I am working on pictures and opening level files.

I'm using firefox, but I'm on a quite crappy laptop at work, so that might be it. Good to hear you're still working on it.

I really like the simplicity of it. Perfect for when you're away from home and still want to make something
Cut/connect could have been skipped but now that it's made, just need to fix the intersection issue maybe?

Great job VJ!

I'm not entirely sure why do people need intersection/topology check but yes it's coming some time after the level opening and pictures update. Next year!

Thanks!

Also now updated! With pictures and level opening (and some other things, like you can now edit apple gravity and animation). You can also see/open files you have edited earlier (relies on cookies). Tell me if you find some bugs.

Press O and it shows in the list if you saved the level earlier.
Awesome Ville!

U can just hev Move tool. Can't select many. Hold ctrl if wana move whole poligon.

Yes =) Duno if should make some delete tool or something... At least for deleting whole polygons.

nat needed. I think ppl dont make huge levs in OLE. I like making levs there, but just some 15 sec hôýläs. Maybe something that will ensture creator that when he copies lev into lev folder and starts game, it will not crash in int error. Topology check?
