as it's IMHO quite complicated...

148     =head1 DESCRIPTION
149    
150 root 1.13 =head2 THE TOOLBOX WINDOW
151 elmex 1.10
152 root 1.13 The toolbox window is the main window of gce. It provides the display of
153     the currently selected object and the tools. The buttons select of the
154     editing tool:
155 elmex 1.10
156     =over 4
157    
158     =item * Pick
159    
160 root 1.11 This tool is the simplest of all. It lets the user select the topmost
161     object of a map cell in the map window and updates the stack view for the
162     current space.
163    
164 elmex 1.10 Shortcut-key in map editor: i
165    
166     =item * Place
167    
168     This is the intelligent placement tool. It has many modes:
169    
170     =over 4
171    
172     =item auto
173    
174 root 1.11 This mode implements DWIM (do-what-I-mean) by trying to do the the right
175     thing(tm) with the selected object:
176    
177     If you place a floor arch, it will try to replace the existing floor or
178     set the floor below all items. If you place a monster or other arch, it
179     will place it on top. If you place a wall, it will put the wall above the
180     floor and propably replace other walls.
181 elmex 1.10
182 elmex 1.18 Autojoin also works only in this mode. To draw an wall with autojoining pick
183     the wall arch which name looks like: <wallname>_0. It's the single point wall
184     tile which has no connections.
185     When you place this arch now, it will autoconnect the walls you are drawing.
186    
187 elmex 1.10 =item top
188    
189 root 1.11 Places the arch on the top of the stack of the map cell.
190 elmex 1.10
191     =item above floor
192    
193 root 1.11 Places the arch just right above the floor (or the bottom of the stack).
194 elmex 1.10
195     =item below floor
196    
197 root 1.11 Places the arch just right below the floor (or the bottom of the stack).
198 elmex 1.10
199     =item bottom
200    
201 root 1.11 Places the arch on the bottom of the stack.
202 elmex 1.10
203     =back
204    
205     Shortcut-key in map editor: p
206    
207     =item * Erase
208    
209     This is the tool that lets you erase an arch.
210 root 1.11
211 elmex 1.10 It has following modes:
212    
213     =over 4
214    
215     =item top
216    
217     Erases the topmost object on the stack.
218    
219     =item walls
220    
221 root 1.11 Erases all walls in the stack (and only walls).
222 elmex 1.10
223     =item above floor
224    
225     Erases the first object above the floor.
226    
227     =item floor
228    
229 root 1.11 Erases all floor from the stack (and only the floor).
230 elmex 1.10
231     =item below floor
232    
233     Erases the first object below the floor.
234    
235     =item bottom
236    
237     Erases the first object on the bottom of the stack.
238    
239     =item pick match
240    
241 root 1.11 This erases all objects from the stack that match the currently selected
242     object.
243 elmex 1.10
244 root 1.11 =item protect walls (checkbox)
245 elmex 1.10
246 root 1.11 This protects walls from being erased (except when erasing walls).
247 elmex 1.10
248 root 1.11 =item protect monsters (checkbox)
249 elmex 1.10
250 root 1.11 This protects monsters from being erased.
251 elmex 1.10
252     =back
253    
254     Shortcut-key in map editor: e
255    
256     =item * Select
257    
258 root 1.11 This is the selection tool. It can be used to select rectangular areas and
259     operate on that area in various ways:
260 elmex 1.10
261     =over 4
262    
263     =item copy
264    
265 root 1.11 This just copies all objects from the selected area into an internal
266     buffer for later paste operations.
267 elmex 1.10
268     Shortcut-key in map editor: c
269    
270     =item paste
271    
272 root 1.11 This function pastes the internal buffer into the map, beginning in the
273     top left corner of the selected area. The size of the selection has no
274     relevance to the result: IT always places the whole internal buffer onto
275     the map.
276 elmex 1.10
277     Shortcut-key in map editor: p
278    
279     =item invoke
280    
281 root 1.11 This function is a very powerful one. It can apply another tool (such as
282     the place tool) on all spaces of the selected area.
283    
284     It can, for example, be used to fill a map with floor tiles or erase
285     everything.
286 elmex 1.10
287     Shortcut-key in map editor: n
288    
289     =back
290    
291     Shortcut-key in map editor: s
292    
293     =item * Eval
294    
295 root 1.11 This is a very special tool which isn't finished yet. It lets you specify
296     a perl snippet that can manipulate the stack.
297 elmex 1.10
298     Shortcut-key in map editor: l
299    
300 elmex 1.23 =item * Connect
301 elmex 1.10
302 elmex 1.23 This tool connects two exits, teleporters or adds the configures
303     connection value to the connectors.
304    
305     This tool has 3 modes:
306    
307     =over 4
308    
309     =item auto
310    
311     The auto mode tries to find exits first, and if it found one, it will
312     go into the exit connect mode. If no exit is found but a connectable
313     object is found, it will just add the connection value to the object.
314     (Note: This maybe gets in the way if you want to connect teleporters.
315     The auto mode will only connect teleporters as if they are exits and not
316     touch the connection value).
317    
318     =item exit
319    
320     This mode wont set any connection values.
321    
322     =item connect
323    
324     In this mode the connect tool will only set connection values and not
325     try to connect exits.
326    
327     =back
328 root 1.11
329     You can either connect two exits to each other, or just point an exit to
330     a certain location on a map.
331 elmex 1.10
332 elmex 1.23 After clicking on an exit the first time you will see a string like this
333     in the tool dialoge in the main window: 'src: (12,9) teleporter'.
334     It tells you that you selected a source destination and that the next click will
335     connect the exit with another exit or just let it point where you clicked (if there
336     is no connectable object (in auto mode)).
337    
338     To connect two exits, just click at the first and then at the second, and
339     the editor will try to find a path (map path) that fits the crossfire conventions.
340     It will also adjust the (x,y) coords so that the exits point at each other.
341    
342     If something doesn't work as expected make sure you saved both maps
343     in a subdirectory of the crossfire map path (which you configured via
344     File->Preferences in the main window).
345    
346     If the tile you edited with the connect tool contained a connectable
347     object, the currently configured connect value (set by the spin buttons in
348     the main window) will be set on them.
349    
350     Shortcut-key in map editor: t
351 elmex 1.10
352     =item * Follow Exit
353    
354 root 1.11 With this tool you can follow exits and teleporters by opening the target
355     map in a new window (or presents an existing window).
356 elmex 1.10
357     Shortcut-key in map editor: f
358    
359     =back
360    
361     =head2 THE STACK VIEW
362    
363 root 1.11 This window displays the stack of a map space/coordinate.
364 elmex 1.10
365 root 1.11 You can swap two objects on the stack and delete a object from the stack
366     by dragging one object over another.
367    
368     By clicking on an item on the stack you can make it the currently selected
369     object.
370 elmex 1.10
371     =head2 THE MAP EDITOR
372    
373     This window just displays the map and lets you use the tools. The shortcuts are
374     documented above in the tool descriptions.
375    
376 root 1.11 You can pan the map using the middle mouse button and use the tool with
377     the left mouse button.
378 elmex 1.10
379 root 1.11 There are two modifiers: Holding down the Meta/Alt-key temporarily
380     switches to the pick tool. Holding down the Ctrl-key temporarily switched
381     to the erase tool. Both will use their current settings. To change them,
382     you need to select the tools using the toolbox first.
383 elmex 1.10
384     =head2 THE ATTRIBUTE EDITOR
385    
386 root 1.11 The attribute editor display the archetype name followed by the object
387     name and the type of the object in parentheses.
388    
389 elmex 1.21 The 'reset to defaults' button erases all changes on the object and resets
390     it's value to the values of the archetype.
391    
392 root 1.11 Since there are often many attributes for a given object, they are sorted
393     into different categories/tabs.
394 elmex 1.10
395 root 1.11 The lore and msg tabs let you edit the text attributes of the object.
396 elmex 1.10
397 root 1.11 Both field labels and value widgets have tool tips enabled. Tool tips on
398     the labels explain the attribute in more detail. The tool tips on the
399     value widgets show the default value from the archetype.
400 elmex 1.10
401 elmex 1.21 On the right side of the attribute editor you will find the inventory, you
402     can drag stuff there or just use the context menu von the pick window (see below)
403     to add inventory.
404 elmex 1.10
405     =head2 THE PICK WINDOW
406    
407 root 1.11 Pick windows are used to quickly pick archetypes from specific categories.
408    
409     Left click creates an object from the archetype and makes it the currently
410     selected object for the tools and the attribute editor.
411    
412     You can change the attributes of the currently selected object in the
413     attribute editor.
414 elmex 1.10
415 elmex 1.21 Right click opens the context menu, where you can add the selected arch as
416     inventory to the object which is currently visible in the attribute editor.
417    
418 elmex 1.10 You can open multiple pick windows.
