It is finally here! A stable beta version of my new Metroid 2: Return of Samus Editor!

LAMP is going to be a feature-rich Metroid 2: Return of Samus Editor! It still lacks a few features but they are quite minor.
The current feature set allows everyone to create a proper Metroid 2 ROMhack!

Current features include:
[spoiler]

• Creation of project files
• Tileset view
• Tileset definitions
• Room and area view
• Duplicate screen view
• Tile editing
• Screen editing
• Transition editing
• Object editing
• TestROM
• ROM compilation

[/spoiler]

Changelog from latest version:
[spoiler]
Changes:

• Main Window layout redesign
• Save Editor layout changes
• Recent Files
• Data Viewer
• Header Buttons
• Toolbars
• Zooming
• Copy & Paste
• More object alignments
• Compilation Settings

Fixes:

• Controls all appear at once when loading a project
• Selected tiles no longer continuously reselect
• Predefined tilesets now come with predefined collision values

[/spoiler]

A lot of things are magic numbers. To make sense of the magic numbers you should refer to the Metroid 2 Wiki.


Planned features for future updates:
[spoiler]

• Tweaks editor
• Project backups
• Undo / Redo
• Graphics editor
• Better object display
• More abstraction for ease of editing

[/spoiler]


To run LAMP you need to have at least .NET 6 installed. If you do not have it installed already you can download it here:

• 64bit/x64
• 32bit/x86

What if I find a problem?
If you found a crash, bug or encountered any error you should report it on the projects GitHub Issue page.
If you do not have a GitHub account feel free to post your issue in this thread or in my Discord Server!

This project is open source and can be found on GitHub.

Great work, nice job on this!

Very important question: Does it come with a Game Genie inside?

[FelixWright]

Ya know, I think @everyone should see this. Metroid II finally has a good editor. Can't wait to see what people make with this
