Hi,

Is it possible to have a feature that you can turn the room upside down, or flip it from left to right?

The method I use to make holds is create a room first, then the connections between rooms. Sometimes I want to flip the rooms to make sure they connect better, or to make them follow a special pattern. Now I have to do this manually.

Or is it possible already? (because it would help me a lot.)

Or if you want to make a mirror effect down the middle of the room, you have to do it manually. I agree with this. (And I look forward to whatever hold you are building)

I've implemented this in JtRH.

How come you guys only ever give definite answers about JtRH when it's something technical? How about telling us about the new monsters?

Okay, okay.

Mike has also implemented new monsters.

Pardon my, erm, ignorance, but what's the usefulness of the feature?

Well...

Say you made a room with the exit facing north, and then you made another room with the exit facing north, and then when you think about level layout you decide that these too should really belong next to each other.

Or, say if you want to create a level that's variations on a theme but don't want to line up all the rooms nicely as in L6.

Or say that you created a room which looks better when reversed for purely aesthetic reasons.
