: : I looked back at the Room Editor screenshots and saw it looked pretty much like our editors. Have a look at this and then read below : : [image]http://tnlc.com/eep/tr/developmentindia.jpg[/image] : Yes, i already saw all screenshot from Cores'room editor, : I noted on in just one top/down view for put triggers, : and they use colored tiles for especify something, for example : blue tiles mean there is a trigger in that tile, etc. also if there is : a solid floor or wall. (My top/dow view was based on that pictures). : But i don't see where the floor/ceiling height and room faces are edited, : i don't think that the 3d view is for solid editable , maybe just for put textures : and ligths, (seems that lights is defined using blue spheres). : I guess that the room are modeled in another program and the editor is just : for puting all stuft togeter. : When i feel tired, sometimes a load those photos and look at they : then my energy get charged again. :) : : : Rview and TReditor can be implemented both in TReditor 3d. This is done in the original also. : : Editing the structure and then directly be able to change textures and add lights... WOW : : If you are coding TReditor 3d, please build the interface like the way in the screenshot. : : Below a color selector, right a texture window, right top a top-view of the room (and three selectors; top view, front-back, left-right) And left the 3d view. : : This way original TReditor are Rview 3 build-in the new Treditor 3D. : Well, defenitly will be a TReditor 3d, i almost have ready the design (not the especific code, just a prototipe), : but i have already coded the Opengl library that i will need (Rview 3.0 was coded with this new library) : but i have to say that i delayed that project each time that i have a excuse, : because I expect for it killer bugs, Opengl lacks and severals hard problems that make coding not : fun, i expect hard long coding nights for this especific project. : The TReditor 3d will look similar to Rview, but not exactly the same. : for Rview is ease to render already optimezed modeled rooms, but for : treditor the thing are a litle different. : treditor will need to re-build faces each time that a click happen. : There WILL NOT EXIST back-front, left/right or top/down view, : just 3d real-time room render, two rooms rended at the same time for : especify correctly the portal attrib and the portal view, the rooms : can be rotated and zoommed like in rview, and some textures & lights can be : real time applied; like in actual treditor each floor/ceiling can have just 4 textures and 4 ligths data; : so rview will be used to put properly textures & lights, and yes maybe : i will put in menu to Open the whole Rview. : So don't worry, i promess you that treditor 3d will be a : GREAT, ease-to-use tool to build the rooms, no more "guessing" on in. : also, because i will code the program in my funky pentium 166, if the : editor work well, will work beter in your computer. : : TRitem 3d should be added in it too... If that was possible we will have exact the original Room Editor! : : Please think about this interface, and maybe contact Roy for working together (allthough I think it won't ever be like that) : Of curse that work with Roy will be a GREAT HONOR, but the mainly problem : was pointed for me some time ago, I like to program in : object Pascal langauage only, (if someone want to hire me, i program in BASIC, FOXPROLAN, DELPHI, : ASSEMBLER. and i am NOvell 3.11 manager :). Roy use C++, so we can not share source code, (too bad!) : I know some basic C++, but i am not expert on in, and i don't want to espend time learning right now, : so there is no way to work in the same source code for now. : But maybe Roy and Me should have a talk, so i can tell : him on what feature i want to work and vice, so this way : we will not spend time working in the same feature. : Like Roy said me, it is a releaf when the whole work : is divided. (btw what happen with your Sound edit?). : : Thank you very much Bart for stay so close checking all : aspect and pointing us what we need, realy your help is : great. : Turbo Pascal. :
