The moment many of you have been waiting for is finally here!
Here you can download my newest version of Wormhole:

Wormhole 2.0 - The Ultimate Liero Level Editor (2.15 mb)

---

Here are some of the news in Wormhole 2.0:

• This version of Wormhole can’t even be compared to earlier versions! Everything, the entire program, has been re-programmed from scratch!!!
• New GUI, Wormhole 2.0 now uses floating windows!
• New layout for the color palette. Every color is located in a box and sorted according to their material properties. Colors with special properties such as player colors or flashing colors are marked with a label.
• Added the ability to use any colors you want in your liero levels, and also any materials you want! To enable you to save these settings I have created a new liero level format, the all-format or advanced liero level format (the name and idea came from Tim Verweij!).
• Added the ability to add new colors to your levels palette (up to 46 new colors).
• Added the ability to load palette files (Microsoft Palette, pal) and then use the colors found in the palette file in your level.
• Added the ability to include level hacks in your levels, now your levels can have different gravity, friction, ninja rope settings and so on!
• Added the ability to add level information like comments, author info and more, into your levels.
• When you are painting your levels in Wormhole 2.0 the bitmap created during painting is now always a true 8-bit bitmap! In earlier versions this was not the case and could result in the fact that some colors was displayed wrong or was undetected when you created and saved your level. This should now be a problem of the past.
• Added “best color matching” when pasting or importing pictures/graphics into Wormhole. This means that if the colors in your pictures aren’t available in the palette of your level, the closest matching colors are used instead, compared to earlier versions of Wormhole where these colors was simply undetected and no color at all would be used in the picture.
• Added two new painting tools! A tool for zooming (a must when creating gfx mods), that allows you to zoom up to 50x (!). Also added the texture tool, which allows you to use a number of different textures in your levels (textures provided by Tim Verweij!). A great tool for creating good looking levels!
• Added support for the “Windows Xp fix” for liero. Liero can only run in Windows Xp when the sound has been disabled. Wormhole now automatically detects if the user has Windows Xp and then disables the sound in liero which enables you to launch liero again!
• Added a “browser mode”. When Wormhole goes into browser mode all tool windows disappear and instead a file browsing window appears. When in browser mode it is really easy to browse and preview level files and gfx mods, all is done directly in Wormhole. If you find a level or gfx mod that you want to edit or play with in liero you only have to hit one button and Wormhole will go back to “edit mode” and load the selected file.
• Added support for importing the most common picture formats like bmp, jpg, gif and wmf (clipart) files, the closest matching colors will be used. Also added support for more advanced importing with 8-bit bitmaps and level files (raw data).
• Added the ability to export your levels. Levels can be exported as 8-bit bitmaps with or without an attached color guide.
• The undo function has been upgraded. You can now undo 4 times (just like in ms paint), also added a redo function!
• The paste function has also been upgraded. Pasted pictures now always use the closest matching colors. This means there are no more undetected colors when pasting pictures or graphics. I have also added the ability to “Paste As New Object”, which means you can now draw using pasted pictures and graphics in the same way as you would when you use the object tool.
• Wormhole will now always ask you if you want to save a previous file before a new file are loaded or the program is closed.
• Support for a number of new file formats like the all-format (advanced liero level), powerlevels (version 1 and 2) and also chr files (liero gfx mods)!
• Saving and loading is now instant and doesn’t have any delay at all like in earlier versions. This is thanks to my new faster code!
• New improved setup program and readme file!
• New about dialog! It’s really cool, shaped like a shield and is semi transparent in =) take a look at it (semi transparent in Xp only)!
• Added some example palettes and Photoshop images
• Added example gfx mods
• Added new example levels!
• And much much more…!
  
  Have fun!
