I'll take any ideas. Heres the list so far:

Standard Matrix Editing (Width, Depth, Height, Tiles, etc)
Object Placement (free or tile placement)
Lights

So, what else do you people want?

Why must I be outcasted here too.

Ah, more suggestions!

The more work the better, I've been quite lazy lately.

Early days, this could grow into a monster. How about a trigger placement system or something?

Matedit Pro is looking incredibly awsome. But not a world editor, tho with its new module program, one can be made for it.

I'm going to program my own world editor, not an add on for a rival.
Really, I just want to see if I can do it.

Hey, we have an even chance of winning, you might have a higher chance, as I only program it a little bit every day. I just added matrix texturing today.

Well, this is all thats planned for the first release, which will be accompanied with source code:

Standard Matrix Editing
Tile Based Object Placement
Freehand Based Object Placement
Lights
3D sounds
Object Scale
Object Trasparency/Ghost
Object Rotation
Particle Effects
Collision Commands

Might add more later, but the source will require a license fee.

Don't give away your ideas!!!!

Don't worry though. I've already thought of these already

I'm not releasing mine anytime soon. I'm gonna really perfect it and release it at once instead of different versions, so you'll probably have one done first.

Mine actually started as a level editor for my new game, which I wont disclose any information. I thought I might as well make something releasable.

If you mean it'll import an object, then export the level as a .X or whatever file, nope, never gonna happen, it'll put all the required files in neat little package, and the .ww1 file that it makes will be the file that loads it when a function is called to load everything.

I meant that later versions of the Wolven World Builder will require a license fee for the source.

No thanks...

I'm doing pretty good now. I'm getting the GUI to work with the features now. The only problem I'm having is getting text over the sprites.

It would be good to have a modular world/level builder based on the 3d gamemaker one - first module: make the matrix, texture it etc - the second module: object/geometry placement - third module: trigger/script/entity/item placement etc.

This would be good and if it was like the gamemaker one it would be really easy to use and cool. Innit.

I'm not going to include trigger placement for events, thats why I'm releasing it open source, so you can implement it for your own special needs.

@M00NSHiNE

Actually, I have four - Matrix, Object, Sound, Light. I planned triggers from the begginning, but in my infinite wisdom, forgot to include it in the program. I might combine light and sound to make room or put it with objects.

And mines probably going to be free. I doubt I'd make any money anyway. I might do it like Matedit for $5 or whatever.

Sorry

I did the GUI in Illustrator and MSPaint.
I'm sure you'll get it together.
Anyway, what it really comes down to is the features. You could have the best GUI in the world, but the program itself could be crap. Some like the "clean" MSPaint look.

GUI's are easy once you think about it. I was just working on mine(for my matrix editor. Been in off and on progress for about 2 months now, lol), and it's not too bad. I find myself adding tons of code to make it very efficient and nice. I'm mainly just using mouse detection, and that's about all you need. If it's clicked, open menu, etc. GUI's are nothing to be worried about really.

Best of luck.

I won't post any screenshots as of yet. Nothing personal, it's just that I don't like showing unfinished work. In the past I've found that I never complete my work when I start posting screenshots on the forum. I'm hoping to have my editor completed by December, or even sooner if possible. It's gonna be feature packed, and have tons of features that I think will prove valuable. For now, I'll just stay low.

btw, nice interface andrew11

Yeah, me either, but I decided I could spare atleast one or two screen shots.

The interface is real cool. The buttons fade in on mouseover, and has cool "whooosh" sound effects.

btw, thanks
