Re: Copy piece of one image into another (tilemap)

Thanks for looking into it :) It's for editing maps that scroll around and are bigger than the screen, and with multiple layers the number climbs high quickly, but this is just an editor and the tiles don't have to do anything except be saved and loaded.
