Here is a bit of info on N.I.L.E

The NovaLogic Interactive Level Editor (Nile) is an advanced tool for creating and editing game missions for NovaLogic. Nile allows you to rapidly layout and prototype a mission with two dimensional and three dimensional edit modes. Nile is extremely powerful because you can see what you mission will look like, without having to open the game. Nile includes full support for manipulating objects, scripting events, examining playback information, generating AI navigation information, tiling, string management, and much more."

Navigating the windows

Nile has two main windows. The object data window and the view window. With the object data window you can see what objects you have in the world, information about them, and change modes (more on that later!). The object window is dockable and can be moved and resized to suit your needs. The view window contains one or more 'cameras' into the world. Each camera can be manipulated independently of the others. The cameras can display in numerous 2D or 3D modes. All the toolbars are draggable and can be attached to any side of the main window frame. All of the toolbar windows can also be selectively shown or hidden by toggling them in the 'Tools' menu item.
. enjoy the tease

It's the actaul editor but just not the updated version Nova's going to release soon. I got it by accdent from a post on Novaworld...somebody posted the url to the files and now the post has been deleted and I now I understand it wasn't meant for anyone to have. So in an effort not to get myself in trouble and out of respect for Novalogic I don't plan to share it, besides the truth is this version isn't a full workable copy...it's awesome but parts are missing.

This editor reminds me of IGOR (GhostRecon) editor. It's going to be a really nice editor but as Smoke says it's buggy. I've manage to make a few test maps by placing items on the map but still haven't been able to get the events to work properly.

The nice things for editing are...

The functions are set in tabs to the left of the map view. Click a tab get a function...nice!

Map:3D/2D view

Scroll mouse to zoom in and out
SpaceBar + RightClick to move map around

Items/Objects:

To add items just pick it from the Oblject Palette tab and set item on the map. Once you click to set the item you can click again to set the same item over again. Which is good from things like trees where you would just click away as many as you want. As long as the item is highlighted in the Object Palette it will repeat as many times on the map as you want.

To rotate item, move, etc. Is basicly pressing the number keys, 1 would be Stabdard Cursor, 2 would be Move Cursor and 3 would be Rotate cursor and so forth. All set in the menu bar across the top as well so you can cursor click if your lazy enough...like me!

To use items attibutes you would click on the Objects tab and double click the item either on the map or in the list and the Object attributes for that item opens up.

To set tiles click on Tile Palette tab and click the tile you want and then click on map to set.
