What is it? - Current No. of Lines: 2580
It is a program which allows you to position all the components (e.g. Lights) of your 3D game visually, then exporting the DarkBASIC code.

So far...

-DB Code Exporting (Only Full Version)
-Light Sphere Mapping
-Saving and Opening Maps (Only Full Version)
-Matrix
-Different Light Types
-More Shader Types (e.g. Cartoon Shading)
-3D Sound

Coming Soon...
-Camera and Positioning Engine Improvements [DONE!]
-Save Layout & Open Layout [DONE!]
-Assign sphere to light position and unassign [DONE!]
-Matrix Support [DONE!]
-Texture Matrix [DONE!]
-3D Sound Support [DONE!]
-More Light Types (e.g. Directional Lights) [DONE]
-Matrix Tile Editor [Doing...]
-BSP Support [Doing...]

This is quite a useful tool, but one minor thing: can you show the position of the lights by using an actual object (like a lightbulb or something) becuase its very hard to position them wothout knowing where they are. Otherwise, very cool.

@X1b: In another post, Evil God of Hell told me hosts the page from home, so try the link a couple of times (he said it sometimes has errors and stuff)

As requested I have finished that bit. You can now download v.1.1 which has the new "Assign Spheres To Lights" menu button. When active this will place a small sphere in the position of all lights (excluding light 0) See Screenshot:

Could you help me make a menu like what you have? You could e-mail me (link below). That would be great.

Also, looks really good! Can't wait to get home and download it. I've been looking for something that does this for a while.


Thanks,

Not just menus - Toolbars, Statusbars, 3D + Flat Buttons, windows...
BlueGUI is easily the most comprehensive add-on when attempting to create a true Windows environment.
