This is turning out pretty good Xeno I noticed that the building you imported was light/shadow mapped. What did you lightmap it with?

Thanks Ethan

The lightmapping was done in 3DWS

I might add lightmapping capabilities to this as well.

Maybe, or maybe something else, I'll think of it.

Sweet, its a hot topic now


I'm gonna add simple advanced terrain support

Not as advanced as your Terrain scape, but good enough to be used

Now why in the world would an editor have collision? That would be silly. Collision would be in a game though yes, but this is a world editor and not a game

I see you're using a matrix for the grid

It's faster, and you don't get the diagonals, to use Cloggy's D3D plugin
(d3d_line3d)

This is what I use for WeedWorks I can attest that it is indeed fast!

Anyways, the editor is looking nice xeno. Keep up the good work.

The matrix was temporary until I found a faster solution. And now i have!



@Kieran,Diggsey,Alquerian, Thanks! I haven't been working on the editor lately, as I am working on the actual MMO. It's quite a time consuming project

I know it is a world editor but I think he thinks that it is a world editor like FPSCreator where you create the world and make the game.

Don't push it

Nah, just messin. But as easy as that sounds, it would consume alot of my time that i wish to use for other reasons.

Maybe later I'll try making this a game developement tool.

Thanks

Fantastic work Xeno, this will be extremely helpful (compared to my WIP level editor at the moment anyway).

Just a quick question, when you save the level, do you basically just attach all objects as limbs to a parent object the export? That's the only way I've thought of anyway.

Thanks and good work

No, actually, I save everything as code.

Grab the demo, test it out, and you'll see that when you save, it saves to DBA code.

Thanks I'm glad this will be so helpful.

Thanks

The only problem with it is loading levels. Now, I have to create a parser for the DBA code

It wont be that hard, but i just have to get my lazy arse to it.

They use parsers to make external scripts for a program, like the FPSC .fpi for example.

Not only external scripts, but real programming languages.

A parser goes through a string (or strings) of text and attempts to decipher (Spelling?) it's meaning.

Well, heres an example.

Lets pretend I make a language called 'XenBASIC'

Heres some XenBASIC code...


That would make a cube with the object number 5.

What a parser would do is find the word 'cube', so it knows what to make.
Then it would take the '5' after the ':' and use that decide its object number.

Then, finding the ';', it would know that the command is done.



So for this parser I shall get the file path, the size, and what not. That will allow me to easy re-setup the levels.
