Tile editor in 1.2c?

Just tried the Tile Editor for the first some in ~4 months.  Will put static images on the 5x5 grid (like buildings), but the Pedestrians don't appear on the grid. The thumbnails do appear at the top of the screen, but not on the grid.

It used to work. Is this 1.2c issue or should i reload all of EWOM or ???

Pedestrians are no longer displayed in-game, so I guess it makes sense that they aren't in the tile editor either.

RATS!

 

My kids sure loved all the animations and tile building they could do--we did it together. This was a good family time....don't suppose they would bring it back?

Send a PM to Frogboy, he's designing E:wom now. I guess they did it to save memory.

I too hope for a revitalized Tile Editor. Tile building was loads of fun; it was almost like its own game. And all of my tiles used pedestrians. They really helped liven up a scene.

[tangent] Of course, the big problem with the T.E. was that it didn't tie in to the rest of the game (short of XML modding). Tiles were cool, but there was nothing you could do with them, in-game, after they were created (again, short of XML). I hope that, in Fallen Enchantress, we get to see the fabled quest editor, and maybe then it'll allow the Tile Editor to really take off as a fantastic tool. If so, then I'd love for pedestrians to come back, complete with loads more animation options. [/tangent]
