[Map Maker] EVE

[Aino]

You have the controls in the OP... and nothing more except for experimentation... I will get around making one when I'm done though.

Finally I'm back, and it has been some time now since I last really added anything new in this project. Well, I have been resting up, and lately I've been working hard to get the globals working... And I've done it! I've added in the globals, well not all of them (there are loads of them), but some. I just have to continue adding them in one by one, which in the end gets very tedious. All that adding in the end makes me work on other parts of the editor, which allows me to get more things done. I still love making this editor and I hope to one day see this finished with tons of features

I also included a picture of how the globals will look like in the editor.

If it makes you feel better, I've been doing the same stuff on Eufloria Adventures!

Got your message about globals. I'll try and get answers to you tomorrow (I'll have to look it up in the code!).

Is it possible to allow guests to download attached files too? It would be nice if everyone could be allowed to use this tool if they want to

Perhaps upload to Dropbox and post the link here?

Would be great if the forum supported full access to files attached, so that you won't need to use other sites to give everyone full access though...

I've got some progress reports:

- No new editor functions
&
- No new globals

BUT:
- Dear god have the stars been optimized
- Finally you can see the number of seedlings on an asteroid per empire

Included a picture for those who don't believe it!
Now I got to tweak the trees' look, and add a quality slider...

Edit:
Breaking news:
Added camera position bookmarks, tweaked the trees and added a quality slider

[Bonobo]

Wow, that looks AMAZING! I only wish I had time for this.

[sillytuna]

Cool!

Just a reminder that we'll be updating HD in spring/summer with better support for custom mods and I'll try and document things up more (the globals).

While writing eufloria adventures, which is back in c#, I've been working some of them out and have also added lots and lots more.

We can fully configure how entities look now so can have all kinds of funky new ones. This won't get fed back into eufloria, but if we do a sequel you'll have a lot of new visual stuff that can be customised. I think any sequel would be based on the new adventures code. I've also rewritten trees to be highly configurable.

A few images are on my twitter feed but we'll get some on here later this month. We've just been working flat out!

writing eufloria adventures [...] in c#

...why?

[sillytuna]

Eufloria adventures has to be because it's for playstation mobile first.

In general, c# is brilliant to develop with - very fast to dev, very low bug count.

I'm wondering if I should convrt this to OpenGL(LWJGL). This will give it much better performance, but I don't know if it will be supported by all platforms...

And sillytuna, maybe you can allow for more editing of the OP, I can't edit it anymore :/
