I don't really think the community needs a new (read: better) level editor.
But some new features such as LEV support, ability to browse files, better copy and paste, longer text strings and stuff, are pretty cool and sound really useful.
But is there any other user who is worried about backward compatibility and possibly screwing up the level files and/or JJ2?!

Some other features that would be useful for me: (and possibly someone else)

• Ability to compile tilesets from image formats other than BMP, PCX, ANM and LBM.
• Ability to have more than 16 text strings.
• Ability to preview the colors/new lines in the level title or text strings (WYSIWYG editing)
• Friendlier tileset organiser, tileset compiler, animation properties dialogs.
• Read JJ1 level files (oh wait, we have JCS94 for this, but it's just not user friendly)
• Ability to extract tileset images from JJ1 tilesets
• It would be really cool if the editor would have been ported to the Macintosh platform, to enable Mac users to create their own levels without using Micro$oft Virtual PC and therefore buying Windows.

That's all for now.

But seriously, think twice about compatibility before implementing any new features!

Oh, and could somebody help me on compiling my Deckstar conversion? (the one and only) I really need help: http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showt...d=1#post409352
