thanks while not the answer i wanted, its good to know the limitations can you move avatar quicker to make navigating map faster to make editing map quicker? I tried right clicking and it seems to remove existing tiles rather then pasting them

Is it possible to copy an existing tile or select it, so i don't need to spend alot of time finding the exact tile in the editor? Is there an undo button incase you accidently tile over an area that took fair bit time to make? Is it possible to zoom out the view to get a better idea of how the general sections of the map fit together (so i dont make a section and find it doesnt line up with other sections of the city iv made) Lastly can you rotate tiles in the editor or do you have to import ones that are at different angles (there usually arent any in the editor) Its probably quite easy to do so but i couldnt find how

so its not possible to zoom the view out? and the only way to navigate the map is via the player avatar? Its just this process is much slower and its hard to get an acurate image of the overall map (when its a larger scale) I did manage to expand the map by changing the dimensions but after the screen had moved a small amount the map seemed to reset back to the original size, un tiled (black) and the map section of the editor closes, I have retried this a few times with the same result.

Hi, I have just started with Eclipse, I have successfully installed and got the program running. I am able to use the map editor to edit the basic blank map fine, such as placing different tiles, layers etc. I want to create a large city type map, however the map screen seems to be limited to a around 10-10 tile set and even when i go to preferences and increase this it doesnt seem to change. Also can i zoom out and move around the map without the player avatar which doesnt seem very usefull in the map editor section. I have used RPG Maker previously, which seems to be fairly similar to this, and creating large maps on that was fairly easy. It seems like there is no real seperation between playing on eclipse and editing it, which while usefull for testing sections out, can be anoying as its not a dedicated map editor. Any help regarding this would be greatly apriciated thanks.
