Closed Beta - World Editor test
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2006 5:43 am
Note the extra lil button on the 0.50.1.2 when you're on your own world (or have sysop on another world).
Currently you can use this mode to fly around the world (kinda), and theres a quite pleasantly functional pile of stuff to allow you to easily add (and undo) walls, terrain textures, trees (sorta) and stuff like that..
Its all very wip, but quite nice so far i reckon.
Hopefully the UI is neat enough to make using it to mostly straightforward. One thing worth mentioning, perhaps, is that everything u do in the world editor is added to the (clientside) 'edit buffer' .. it isnt sent to the server until you confirm with the button on the right. Right clicking any of the entries in the edit buffer deletes the change you've made locally - so you can fiddle about adding (then deleting stuff) without worrying about messing with the server map.
Accepting theres still a whole bunch of stuff still left to add (including dynamic terrain modification, buildings & buildzones etc.. not to mention all the top menus, which'll provide lotsa quick n easy helper wizards to make creating a world much much easier).. any thoughts/wishlist requests/bug reports so far?
