Merick from the QJ.NET Forums has just announced the initial release of his latest homebrew application: the LuMM (Lua Map Maker). This application for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) will definitely be a big help to all the other homebrew developers out there as LuMM is 2d tile map editor for lua games. It edits a map in three layers.
Features:
* ground layer : the basic map area
* object layer : assigns a number value to the current tile area 0 is not displayed in the editor. In my demo, I used 0 for walkable area and set 1 to indicated an impassable barrier
* overlay layer : this layer is for images that the player can walk behind
* saves / loads map info to a single data file
* map edit mode:
* start = brings up save/quit menu
* d-pad = change current map location
* square = put tile down
* cross = erase tile
* triangle/circle = cycle through tiles / object numbers
* right trigger = cycle through layers
* left trigger + d-pad left/right = change tile rotation (not implemented yet)
For this to work, you'll need the have the lua player installed, and then copy the LuMM forlder to your applications folder. Merick says that tile rotation's still not working, but the dev says this is being worked on.
The file you'll be downloading has LuMM.lua which is the editor itself, and demo.lua which is a demo of how you can use the map data you've created using LuMM. However, the demo will not be enough to show you what you should do. Access the readme for instructions, as that's really important for all applications you'll be running on your PSPs. It also contains more details on the features and controls of LuMM, and his thank-yous to a lot of other PSP developers who've helped him with his homebrew project.
