I am designing a new OP2 map editor for Windoze. Hopefully it will be faster than it's predecessors, and it will have some support for saving info on structure placement (but not into the OP2 native format, yet. Probably onto a FMF (Flexible map Format) file that the editor will be able to read, however)
-
Good luck!
-
Part of the .map editor is complete. The tileset loads fast (under 2 seconds loading time for the whole app) and doesn't use lots of memory.
-
Have you tested it on more than one computer.
-
Not yet. It's not quite complete, yet....
And I am having problems with the tile selector, and scrolling. (argh!)
-
Why don't you send me a beta when you have one made?
-
ITS DONE!!!!! THE MAP/TILE EDITOR WORKS!
At 9:34:42 AM Eastern Daylight Time, the FIRST EVER made from scratch Outpost 2 map, made with a standalone EXE map editor, was successfully tested in the Outpost 2 Game!!!!!!!
Yippie!
There are a few more bugs that I have to work out, and I have to make the tileset to include all the tiles, which I'll get done today, so tonight the map editor will be released (to certain allowed people). Those people will get PM's that tell them where to download it.
-
Well I think I know who won't be one :(
-
Just keep checking your e-mail box. If you don't get anything in like, 120 hours, then you won't get one for a while.

Why only to sertain people? Give it to everyone, leave it in the downloads section of your site.
-
i best b 1 of the ppl who can have the editer
-
Everyone who is helping First Wave gets one. So if you want to get it, contribute to the First Wave project somehow.
(The reason for this since most of the code is proprietary, and it's a bit buggy. I don't want to give it to people who know nothing about it, that it could have bugs, and come crying to me saying "It lost my map!")
EDIT: Also, if you want to contribute in some form of maps for First Wave, PM me and I will see what we can do.
-
I cand describe one of my ideas to you.
-
In postform or in PM? Don't just post, "I have an idea." If you post that, you should edit to give a description of your idea.

I'll PM him with it later
-

So bluntly: If you dont help, you dont get one?

Not until the expansion pack is released. By then, as op2hacker has said, bugs will be worked out.

Phil is correct. The Mapper WILL be available to everyone once the expansion is done. But for now, it is limited to the people making the expansion.
If you want a copy before the expansion is out, PM me or Phil to help out with the expansion. We will set you up.
(The reason I'm not giving it to everyone is because the people doing the expansion will know that it has bugs, and may crash sometimes, and you will lose your work.
I don't want people coming up to me going "You made a stupid editor, it doesn't work, I lost over 2 hrs of work")
There are probably a lot of bugs that I don't know exist.
EDIT: I did get CK9's idea. He could do some "bonus" content for the expansion. He is in the line for the editor.
-
Auto save wouldn't be a bad option. I once wrote three chapters of one of my novellas, without saving, then the power went out. (Sniff, sniff) I didn't write anything until a week afterwards.

What were you approved for? Coming from philip, lately, i's not that great a thing to the normal members.
-
CK9, can you quote where I said, "It is not great to be a normal member." Normal members are very welcome here.
An accurate estimate or a fuzzy one cannot be given by I. Ask op2hacker.

if I was a regular member, I would still post, but Ive been a GM almost as long as I can remember

Philip, you are misquoteing me there, thus twisting my words.
-
twisted
I forget, what commericial kept saying twisted in it?
-
no idea. The point is, philip is attacking me indirectaly by missquoting me!
-
WAR OF THE QUOTES
remember when we had that before?
neathor do I
-
Actually, there was this one time when we were posting wquotes to see who could find the most.
-
well in a place full to the brim with statements, that shouldent be hard
-
Philip ran out of unused qotes. BTW, they had to be quotes from famous people.
-
Look at this.... 30 quote tags.
-
Thats cool man!
Edit: tried for shocked smilie but it isnt in the db :(
-
Post about the smilies in Suggestions/Problems. Xfir will probably add more to the DB.
