A Map Editor

[Michal]

Sort of 'Bug' - map editor cursor only follows the windows arrow correctly when viewing map on 90 degrees camera. If you lower the camera to 'standard' you always have to observe the correct cursor, which is kinda tricky. It would probably be hard to fix it, so maybe windows cursor could disappear in map window?

And - feature request, :
Its really hard to find something on features/structures menu. Yes, they are sorted alfabetically, but 'theme sort' would be much better - say: Scavengers, Base structures, Defences - for structures, and Arizona Urban Mountains for features.

Or... Customizable menu. Say I want to make a scavenger base. I know I want to use 2 type Gun Towers, Cannon Towers, Walls (horizontal/corner), Lookout Tower. That's 6 total. I could put them in one menu and it would be really easy to switch between them instead of constantly looking for them on the list.

Otherwise, really nice (finally works on my machine )

Someone said they wanted mac and linux versions... i undersatnd the visual studio code that flail wrote it in (this is what I primarily write in ) and I understand Some mac and linux equivalents so I will try and port it to mac and linux .

P.S I will post back on progress

Good editor, really like it. Thanks for making it!

Will this editor ever come packaged with the game?

[Per]

Will this editor ever come packaged with the game?

What would be the benefit of tying releases of the map editor to releases of the game itself?

That way, people who don't use the forums would be able to make and edit maps.

Many games include editors as an option during installation, I think it wouldn't hurt having that. We even got NTW included in the installation...

You can't compare game mods to full programs.
How would they compile it, since they are using linux for windows builds.

This is how they would get it on mac and linux

Well, zipped NTW 2.1 weighs 3.9 Mb and flaME weighs 2.4 Mb, It's even lighter. I dunno, for me, 2.4 Mb takes less than 2 minutes to download. And I think that widespreading flaME would bring more maps to the community, which is a good thing, better than having a mod in the official distro (it's not that NTW is definetely bad, but it doesn't let players to create stuff for the community). Since WZ2100 is open-source, having more people creating maps is really a good stuff, especially with the way our forums are - anyone can get decent feedback here, fast, and from usually more than 1 member.

The compiling is a problem I cannot contest, but apparently macuser can

You are going to port visual basic to what?

[Zarel]

Map editor can be a separate download on the Download page.

It would cause the number of support questions about how to make maps to explode, though.

FlaME would need seamless support for saving/loading wz files, and an installer with no dependencies, before I could consider it. And I'd still prefer a cross-platform solution.

How would they compile it, since they are using linux for windows builds.

"Compile" and "bundle" are two entirely different things, and neither requires the other.

You are going to port visual basic to what?

There are implementations of Visual Basic functionality in other operating systems (namely, Mono), that could be used to port some software written using Microsoft technologies to other OSes.

I am going to port flaME to mac and linux (it is writen in .Net) using the mono .net implementation for mac and linux modifying thing from directx to opengl and pathnames etc.
