Hi,
with the WIP of 2DPlugKIT,
A plugin to allow you to create easily 2D scrollings using tiles, a new tool will also appear. It is actually called 2DMapEDITOR (After 3DMapEDITOR comes 2DMapEDITOR). It's final name will probably change but the WIP one is the one actually given.
What does this editor exactly do ?
It work in a similar method than X-Quad Editor.
1. You can create/open projects.
2. You can create new maps for the project.
3. You can setup some game parameters.
Actually, the editor is in Alpha stage. That mean that it can create projects, create maps, add new layers and render them on screen.
Here is a shot of a small map rendered using 5 layers.
In order from further to nearest one:
- Stars + Planets
- Clouds
- blue Sun light
- Mountains
- layer where the player in a game may move.
I will post shots of the editor sooner ...
