When I started to work with Dark Basic, I decided that a simple, visual editor is necessary. There is a plenty out there, but I began writing my own. I want to make it suitable for modular level design.
This is a small and simple program, but it is open source. You can download it, critisize, make suggestions or use as a part of your own project (dont't forget to mention me).
Features:
-Create a low resolution terrain (a plane made of quads)
-Move individual tiles or individual vertices up and down
-Flatten the surface
-Save and load your map
Not that much. You can't select terrain texture or terrain size yet (these parameters can be changed through code).
The map is saved in a
height.map file. If you save a new map, you overwrite the old one. You can use load routine later in your game to load terrain back painlessly. Don't forget to setup an identical array in your game first.
I plan to store map data in several files. Yet I have only one to store vertice heights.
What is planned:
- Bigger brushes with size selection (easy to implement)
- Drawing and erasing water (currently working on it)
- Placing and deleting obects (won't be hard)
- Texture selection (easy)
- Texture paint (Don't know how to implement it yet)[b]
- Visual interface (last thing I plan to do)
