Editor Update

[sponge]

esw, any good news on the map editor? I'm erm.. holding off on the campaign 'till the new version is released. Yea that's it.

It's actually going really well. I have to appologise for the long delay, but hopefully we can make a big deal when it's released, so more people will make maps. It's a LOT easier to make maps with it than the old version, in fact it eliminates the need for those 2 command-line tools(for people with dos-phobia)

So you can see where it's at now, I uploaded a copy to my web server:

To try it out, start am19.exe, click on the open button, open the 'test' folder, and open data.txt.
Try selecting multiple units
Also the map properties page is there, but it doesn't work yet.

There isn't too much more work to do, just finish off the events editor, and finish the save-file code.
Hopefully it will be out soon -- oh, one last thing, I'm trying to get rid of the need for TGAs, not sure how, but I will.

Thanks for clearing that up. I just thought of an easy way to make it shou the units while dragging; I'll look in to it. Remember though, I'm just a volunteer

I actually forgot all about that argcalc stuff, should take about 5 minutes to add

Took 5 minutes to code the eVB ArgCalc.. so I should hope so :P

And just because your a volunteer doesn't give you an excuse to be a lazy coder :) (jk heh)

Oh, you bet it does

Ok, I have another beta if anyone wants to look. It has almost everything working, except the unit properties thing.

Get it .

Some notes:
- you can see units while you drag them, but it is a bit buggy. if you drag a unit across another, the other one gets erased!

-because you can't set the unit properties, you can't really make usable maps yet (you kill the enemy's command center, but you don't win!)

- try the option to compile maps!
