MidnightDaystar, what exactly do you mean by "copy multiple tiles"?

You can select several tiles in the tileset and insert them into the room by a single click in the current KSLC version.

However, what I suppose you meant was to copy several rooms from one level to another, right? That is unfortunately not possible at the moment, and generally such a feature is very difficult to design, so I don't think it'll be available within any foreseeable future.

Note, it's difficult to design, not implement. There's just too many things to decide what to do about when copying rooms; the actual implementation then is rather trivial.

A simpler approach that might be implemented quite soon is importing a (complete) level into another level. This is way easier, because most of the world.ini settings stay intact. Still there are issues, such as tileset collisions, custom objects etc. that need to be solved.

Anyway, nothing's gonna happen in the nearest future (month or so), since i'm working on different projects now and simply don't have the time needed for KSLC.

Still, any programmers who'd want to join are welcome, KSLC is, after all, open source.

Yes, that's exactly the feature. The room duplication dialog now looks like this:
And all the choices should be working correctly.
The controls are set so that by default, the contained shifts / warps work within the new rooms and outgoing shifts / warps go to same locations as the old rooms. So effectively it creates an alternate path.

[...]
Maybe I'm missing something, but by looking at the source code it doesn't seem that the procedure that saves the World.ini file accounts for Custom Objects anywhere.
[...]

Oy, of course, you're right! I've parsed the params in, but never included them when saving back! Stupid me. Fixing now.

EDIT: Plus, there is an object leak in the code, ep never gets destroyed. Must've been sleeping already when writing that code

Definitely with flags, possibly even with normal warps.

If you know something I don't, please share. I was under the impression that normal warps were working ok. And noone else has ever complained.

Good news, everyone

KSLC has reached the age of two years today. On 28th September 2007, the first line of its code was written and the first log entry reads "Development started. ZLib for Delphi found"

To commemorate, I've dusted off the decaying sources and made some changes, yay. New version 0.3.15 is out there, grab it while it's still warm
In this new version:
Fixed: Crashes after selecting rooms in the map view
Fixed: Selection-only room duplication copied wrong parameters from World.ini
Fixed: Exception occured when entering negative / invalid numbers in Duplication dialog
Fixed: Custom objects should stay untouched
Added: Option whether to modify shifts / warps or not while duplicating rooms

I think many people have been waiting for these features, at least it seems so from the posts here. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up, so give it a try. But remember, always make a backup before trying KSLC, just in case.

Right now it should take all screen's parameters in World.ini and copy them to the new room exactly the same as they were.

... edit KSLC's .ini

No need for this, You could actually use the menu from inside KSLC, it is in the Settings.

Thanks for the clarification, BloxMaster.

KSLC should work with any KS mod, provided that it uses the same level file format and same directory structure as KS (but then I can't imagine what the "mod" would actually be


On a different note, I'm working on the shifts / warps duplication and it's proving to be quite a lot of work on the coding side. An update is likely to be quite far away in the future, unfortunately.

I'm not sure, I think I've already fixed that bug but I think I haven't released that version yet. Thanks for reminding me, I'll try to improve on that soon(ish).

Oh, I remember now, I fixed the problem with copying totally unrelated data, but wanted to add an option whether to adjust or not shifts / warps in the copied section. I'll try looking the info up on the old forum.
