QUOTE (Jezzerking @ Oct 27 2005, 19:11) will we be able to import our own models into this editor and place them on the map? Yep, but they will need to be in .dff format to start with, unless someone can write a decent 3ds to dff file in C

man i love you, thanks a bunch, converting my max files in to dffs isnt a problem (kams scripts)
this tool is the ultimate modder tool for me, being able to place my models in to the map as i please

That's the theory hopefully!!


At the moment, I am working on the IDE object editor, making it easy to create new IDE files and add/edit objects in the IDE files. I hope to get an early alpha release soon, but I don't want to release something that is going to destroy people's installations. At the moment it is still a viewer, with a view added features.

I think the major challenge in San Andreas is the .col file support and paths (Which aren't understood very well yet). Adding 2DFX lighting in San Andreas is also a big challenge since this is defined in each object and can only be editted with a hex editor.

This seems to work very well with user modifications, there is no reason why it shouldn't. I have tried it with the LVS mod in San Andreas and also the Liberty City in Vice City Mod, also in this thread. There is no reason why it shouldn't work with Myriad Islands.

As of LCS, I have been told I have to wait till Friday, bloody UK release dates .

Your tool is looking better and better. I've got a couple of very handy ideas: -When you click al Model the edges are faced (white) -Rightmouse on a Model and you copy it then (so you could copy a lot of models at the same time) -PICK/CAR/ENEX/CUL and suchs things as support

Clicking on a model will give it a red glow and add axis lines to it, making it clear which model you have selected. The axis lines help you visualize the effects of rotations and movement before you actually apply it.

I will add an option so you can copy and paste and object

I will get simple map editting working first before moving onto to the other sections, such as PICK/CAR/ENEX/CUL, etc..

The IDE editor now works, so you can add/delete and edit objects. Although I have made an .img archiver, it is faster to add the objects yourself to the img archive using another tool. I will work on improving this though as this is quite important.

Started work on the IPL editor, so far you can select items on the map and move them, by using the buttons in the editor or by dragging the object around the screen. Personally I find it easier using the buttons in the editor, but I have left both options in. I am working on the rotations ATM, rather than using quaternions or axis angles, I have made it use standard euler angles, that is you choose how much rotation you want on the X,Y,Z axis, e.g. 45,0,0. I had to brush up on my maths for this .And I still can't verify whether it is correct, although it appears to work correctly.

I have simplified the interface, the image archiver is no longer part of the main screen, but a secondary tool accessed via the menu. Dialogs have been renamed and I am debating whether to remove the wireframe/textures and alphablending options to make place for something more useful. What do you all think? I see it like "how often are you going to look at the map in wireframe mode"

[Dillyracer]

This is awesome dude, you will be sort of legend if you can let this work
Any plans when you think first version will come out ?

[Towel]
