Viewing Thread: Out-of-Meteor Editors

25 February 2007 16:19 (UK time) I can quickly get sick of editing objects, weapons, sprites and projectiles because of all the loading in between for small changes. Wouldn't it be much better to also have simple Sprite, Projectile, Weapon, and object editors that I could use from the Windows desktop, outside of Meteor? It would certainly make editing a lot quicker and easier. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

21 March 2007 08:05 (UK time) you would have to run multiple meteors running on only a specified area of data for that to work, and at that in some sort of windowed mode. i hate this too, cant meteor simply list everything you've modified or has been externally modified since last load (windows keeps dates on all files) or at least list everything and have checkboxes for every file. hopefully in m3, if it will be created. i guess someone could make a custom program for each thing, but i dought anyone will.

21 March 2007 11:39 (UK time) Yeah, this gets on my nerves as well. Why does Meteor 2 have to pre-load all data, instead of only loading data it needs? Couldn't Meteor 2 reload every time you save&exit an editor? That would make modding easier. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

23 March 2007 23:19 (UK time) probably complexity, as m2 has to handle extra lights, scripting, sectors with corners anywhere, textures bigger than 16x16 tiles, object types, behaviour etc etc Also known as Veyrdite My website: http://halestrom.net/darksleep@Occasionally you may meet me when you sleep.

24 March 2007 00:52 (UK time) Yeah but mine loads all that stuff wven when im not loading maps. I just want the weapons, sprites, objects and projectiles loaded, it should keep everything else the same. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

13 April 2007 06:21 (UK time) one great thing would be NOT TO RELOAD TEXTURES WHEN TESTING A MAP IN THE EDITOR. THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN LOADED AND YET M2 INSISTS ON RE-LOADING THEM. we desperately need a tool to re-load only certain areas of m2, and when working on mod, an option for either folder (base or <mod>.

14 April 2007 04:43 (UK time) Yeah...I think that James should fix that. Also, it would be useful to have some kinda "template" click-and-code thing for binding massive amounts of objects; It would automatically set the script in a C editor next to the map editor, allowing faster map-making and scripting.
