DragnEdit RPG 2D is a 2D RPG editor that I am working on.
My progress has been slow mainly because I am trying to figure out how to texture tiles by clicking on 'em.

Progress Report:
World Editor - Thus far you can scroll the matrix like you would scroll a map in age of empires. All the tiles are randomly placed (except the poorly drawn house). You can zoom closer and farther away from the matrix ("-" is zoom out, "=" is zoom in). Thats all I really have, but its a start.

http://www.geocities.com/sqdsvii/derpg.html has a screenshot of the world editor.

Other aspects of DragnEdit RPG:
Character Editor - Set the heath, fight power, defence, etc. of a character. Choose player grafix and set special moves. Save / Load character files for editing.
NPC Editor - same as above
Enemy Editor - same as above (except it'll be for the enemy)
Item Editor - edit battle driven and menu driven items (swords, potions, etc). Set buying and selling prices and status inhancers.
Other aspects will (hopefuly) be integrated into the editor.

Looks cool, btw, the image on your site has an .JPG extension instead of .jpg
Thats why it wont load, just follow this link
http://www.geocities.com/sqdsvii/derpg-screen1.JPG

go to his site and copy-paste this image url. Then press enter, it should load.

Btw, placing tiles using the pointer is easy. Get the X and Y coordinate of the mouse and divide it with the height (for Y) and width (for X).

Example:

is the tile size (100) just the general size or is it the size the coder presets in the Make Matrix command? for mine its make matrix width,depth,33,33 so that i have tiles that are 32 by 32... at least i think thats what it does ... anyway, I'll give it a try and see if it works.

BTW Thanks for informing me of the pic... gotta love case sensitivity...

[edit]also, will it work if im moving the camera around to see entire map?

Get the current map x and y position and add it too the tile x and y variables.

Btw, your title says 2D, and you mention a matrix. If you are using a matrix, then the method I mentioned is a little hard to implent.

crap... how so?

thats gunna be hard cuz im moving the cammera, not the matrix...

BTW Is there any other way of creating a map like (for example) the world map in final fantasy 5 without using a matrix?

Code Ninja, is not as hard as you think. Lets say, when the camera moves 50X to the right its above tile X2,Y*. Divide the camera position x with 50. Add that value to the tile x variable and use the int() command to make the tile x integer

Same goes for the tile y/z variable.
