What's that name hide ???

In fact, it's the map editor used to create my Alienware competition game : X-Truder.

It actually support many features but will support more soonly !
The objectives are to create an Editor and a Functions set that will help developper create easily ( and fastly ) games.
I think that, with X-Quad Editor, it should be easy to make games like : BomberMan, Alien Syndrome Zelda ( the 1st on NES or SNES ), Gauntlet, and more . . .

Here is a detail for what I've planned to do ( and what does the editor actually support ) :

Player Support :
[Available] - Movements : Idle, walk, punch, shot, get injured, die.
[Available] - Support for score.
[Available] - Actions : Punch, shot a projectyle, cast a spell.
[Planned] - Support for XP points and XP levels.
[Planned] - Support for Options page in game.
[Available] - Interactions support : Keys, Switches, Bonus points, Energy bonuses, Weapons ammo, Interactives Speechs.
[Planned] - Interactions support : PNJ, Chests, Various grounds( Lava, ice, And more... )
[Planned] - Support for holden objects ( inventory for RPG games )

Enemies Supports :
[Available] - Movements : Idle, Walk, Get Injured, Die.
[Planned] - Movements : Punch, Shot a projectyle, Cast a Spell.

Level Editor Supports :
[Available] - Organise under "Projects" ( 95% done )
[Available] - Multiple maps supports ( and jumps from any map to any other )
[Planned] - Support For Options and menus ( Game Presentation )
[Planned] - Support for Introduction sequencies
[Planned] - Support for options and presents sequencies
[Planned] - Support for interactives sequencies ( Ingame Videos )
[Planned] - Support for Ending, Game Over Sequencies.
[Planned] - Support for Various source code ( Bomberman, RPG, Action, Adventure, Shoots, And more... )

[Available] - 3D Lights to be added everywhere in the map
[Available] - 3D Sound ( unique , repeated , with delay , ... )
[Availeble] - Sound Event ( for bonuses, footstep )
[Available] - Intelligent object positionning system ( AutoY Positionning depending on [ Object Size Y() ] )

As you can see, most features aren't yet ready.
They are features that are not presents in X-Truder and I'll develop them soonly . . .

The objectives for that editor is to help game creation with a minimum need in programming !

Actually, I've extracted functions from X-truder and all work correctly with any map created under X-Quad Editor so it is actually possible to develop games with X-Quad Editor...

But, More will come soonly

UPDATES : List updated on 27.02.04-13.31

I've builded a small source code sample, showing how to use maps created with X-Quad under DBPro .
In fact, it use a CUBE you can move using Arrow keys and show editor capabilities.

Currently , bonus points, keys, switches, doors and map jumper are available.

Here are the snapshot from the demonstration sample :



I've joined in source code area a part of the demonstration sample, it's the main demonstration loop, showing you that there are nothing to do except call functions to make it work !

yes, like I said, it's the level editor I used to developp X-Truder.
For development, I use objects from X-truder ( don't want to waste time developping new object now. I prefer concentrate my efforts for the software itself... Media will be developped later )

I currently adding new options to make that level Editor a full independant product. I also prepare source code to directly include in your project. It contain all these features :
- player collision with : enemies, bonuses walls, doors, teleport.
it support : score, energy points, weapons energy, enemies hp.
And many others features.

I currently develop it in the sense that, on final, with X-4 Editor, it will be easy to build these kind of games :

- Role Playing Games
- First Person Shooter ( it will be possible !!! You'll be surprised )
- Bomber man games
- Alien breed clones ( using 3D , like Alien Syndrome , and more ... )
- Zelda like ( like NES / SNES but using 3D , more like : Grandia )
- R.T.S games ( like Syndicate , using real 3D )
- Silent Hill like ( yes, it will be possible !!! )
There are others kind of games you'll be able to develop with X-4 ....

I'll post demonstration exemples as soon as possible .
Full editor base options are now up and running, I start develop extra capabilities for adapted game type

Here is a snapshot from the current version of X-4

The current interface is nearly finished ( and rebuilded )..
I will probably add some buttons like load map, save map ( like usual app own )...

Specific source code are in progress as the editor engine is developped.

You know, I couldn't get most of the textures to show up in X-Truder, mainly the alien and the walls, but hopefully this works fine.
