My editor

64 bit version

last modified 2/20/2013
this is the agk version. This version still is in the work in progress.
installer
https://forumfiles.thegamecreators.com/download/2454435

old exe files
https://forumfiles.thegamecreators.com/download/2370672

This is the Dark GDK version that I fixed. This was the last stable download.

https://forumfiles.thegamecreators.com/download/2421066






This is a project that I wanted to do for a while and since none of my apps are selling I guess I am starting it. If you have ever seen spriter this program will be like it. Except there will be differences like how you can edit the sprites.


This is the uveditor:




I do alot of Work with agk so this will help both dark gdk and agk games.

Done: Parts of animation bar.
Sprite Loader


TODO: There is a lot to be done so need help doing it.
If you know MFC then you can help.
Some things that I need are camera support for
the sprites if any one can help on that too that would be
good. In the demo program this is what is included:


selecting a parent from a child



Changing and animating color


How to import a limb



messed up u tube video of my program working


How to Set the animation on frames.



limitations: can only load 60000 sprites, and 4.3 billion frames

i loaded a new exe file maybe it work know. Which program are you talking about, and your utube video does not work. I didn't test the exe file from the game creators. It says your utube video is private. I tested this program on 2 computers know it works for me. wish google paid us to bot on our threads, but I think TGC gets all the bot cash.

Press the import limb button on it I still fixing this project so there are bugs right know. That is why it is a work in progress.
But looking at your video makes me want to put in the file drop down also. I will also make 32 bit one when I am finished. If you download the new exe file it is also under file know. I took out zoom because dark gdk does not have a command to zoom in or out from sprites. Thanks for testing the program. I like testers.

I am introducing my 3d file format bone animation system that will work with agk using xml. Obj is the format agk will work; I see dark gdk does not use this in loading objects. I dont know if this will even be a viable project when I don't know the specifics of agk. Looks like dark gdk does not support this format just hoping that AppGameKit will have x,y, and z offsets that I can use for this animation system. So you might have to convert the .x format to obj.


This is the tool bar so far



this is the intended output in xml format.

This is the new interface for animated sprites

when animated sprite is created then top section represents the frames of the sprite. This bar changes if a different animated sprite is chosen or if a regular sprite is chosen.

things done
Viewable Animated sprite section.
Snap to Grid.

things to do
Save to xml
Loading xml
undo - last count
every 200th step or something close to this it will make a vector list of the current state of the engine then it will go back to that state. Also check to see if mouse is idle or not so if you leave the program on over night it don't crash. This method is a-lot easier to accomplish then each individual command being recopied in a vector list. This method will also have less errors. The only thing with this method is if the user is really fast at using the editor then it will take them back 5 or 8 commands before.
redo last step
import tile tmx files

spacebar bug. when changed to different frame.(fixed)
change frame bug
able to change properties int the main dialog when space is pressed
export code in basic or c++ format.
there will be two kind of exports tiled map export and animation export. The export will look something like this
tile1[100]=[0,0,....0] for tier 2.
dim tile1 for tier 1

Thanks baxslash the save file is purposely not saved in the wrong format. If your using the demo there is a lot of mistakes in the save file format. Only the paid version will be correct. That is because it is just a demo and I don't think I need to give all my stuff away for free. The demo still can be used, but the xml is 90 percent correct.
This is the save dialog.

I see that alot of people are haveing a hard time with tiled so I am including a export option for this for tier 1 and tier 2.



I am also including a import tiled map option so that it will be quicker to convert tiled maps to code.

I added a new feature that allows me to make windmills, and I have made it so that a parent can have multiple children. I have also added effects that will move a sprite back and forth or up and down changing the uvs. I have also fixed some things that got emailed to me about selecting items, and they couldn't make a windmill because after two selections the program crashed I fixed that as well.

Here is a import wizard, I found lot more bugs that I have too fix. I got ride of the side menu because it was slowing down imported tiled maps. TMX files were not working well with the side menu so I have to redesign how the editor looks a little

The code that is produced by a export of the tiled engine is.

After hearing people about box2d I have decided that my engine would be incomplete without it of course right know I am in the starting stages of implementing box two in my editor I would like to show you the toolbar that would be used.




I also added box2d to the main tool bar the pull-down is as follows:

-Box2d(on/off) : Toggles between tool bars, and between box 2d and my other format.
-Set Sprite Mass : You can reset how much the sprite weighs.
-Create Rope : Creates a copy of an object and links it with rotate joint function.

-Shapes
-Change Sprite Shape Circle: Changes the current shape from square to circle
-Change Sprite Shape Square:Changes the current shape if it is circle to square.

-Physic Forces
-Set Sprite Physics Torque: This applies a torque to the sprite.
-Set Sprite Physics Velocity
-Set Sprite Physics Force
-Set Sprite Physics Impulse
-Set Sprite Physics Friction
-Set Sprite Physics Damping
-Set Sprite Physics Angular Damping
-Set Sprite Physics Angular Impulse
-Set Sprite Physics Angular Velocity

-Sprite Physics:
-Kinematics
-Static
-Dynamic

Here is the zip of the agk version the other window version looks like it is broken might have to fix it. So yea the agk version should can be downloaded. I have not finished it yet still on the mfc and the save format and load format, and of course I need an xml exporter format.

What works in this version well I got physics working a little but still need mouse enabled physics. and have transparency and pop up menus working a little.

Are you making separate arrays for each tile property? Why not just create a tile class with all of your properties and create a single array with that?

C++ Pseudo Code


Something like that. Just typed it up now in this post. Obviously it's up to you, but this could help clean up your code and export quite a bit, doing something similar to this.

I am using a vector class not array class. So the number of frames can increase or decrease. I agk version is looking better than my dark gdk version so far. But that would be a nice export code for c++ I think I will use it. Yea I need to rewrite the export any way and I did need help in that area. So I guess that the export should look alot like yours does.

I have still have a lot to do. Box 2d in the agk version I am developing know will let a user have Box 2d and simulate it.

I put my last agk version in the download.

You can create physics, bridges, ropes, and I fixed a few things.
