You could make that one button not disappear somehow... although I have no concept of how hard that would be to do. I for one would not object to a random button still being there in outdoor mode. EDIT: And, as you probably noticed, in a topic here, Jeff said that Spiderweb will put up a "utilities for BoA" section beside the scenarios. He implied that it would contain the 3D Editor. So it looks like it will be available on Spiderweb itself, which is far better than I could do.

You could solve the lack of buttons the way I did, by having a button to switch between the new functions and a bunch of rarely used buttons. I would be interested in merging your editor with the things I've been doing - we've been changing different things so there wouldn't be overlap in new functions. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

Unfortunately, doing wall drawing in 3D would take extra, somewhat complex code, so they wouldn't be entirely compatible without effort. Also, I think your Get X,Y Location used the same button as my turn 3D on/off. But neither of those is a big problem. Jeff responded to my e-mail. Among other things, he said, "I'll try to remember to send you a sample of tinting code." We can only hope... -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.

If he doesn't remember, e-mail him again. And again. And keep prodding him until he does remember. That's the primary way to get things done around here. (I'm guessing you know this already, but just in case.) EDIT: It would be really awesome if you could get icon adjustment to work in the 3D Editor. Really, really awesome.

When I made the beginning of the scenario with this 3D editor, and then tested it, the door graphics ddn't work! It was just a strange thing being there. It was still doors, but they didn't look like doors. Has that happened to anyone else? -------------------- I, Grah-Hoth, will rule both in Avernum and on the surface.

Well, It was compiled with "XCode." . . . . I have what is known as a "9.1 OS mac", and so therefore it won't work it just says it was damadged or unusable by my computer. I don't know what "Xcode" is, but is there possibly an equivalent writing program that would allow it to be in a format that a mac of lesser power, say one OS 9.1 could use. . . . . I swear if you build this program for me i will make a couple . . . . possibly even several, or even a few scenarios. I just hate those 2D squares so much . . . Coding isn't so bad, its all just words . . . . its drawing those terrain squares that takes forever. The concept of this 3D program is great btw -------------------- If you don't drink milk from your mother, why drink it from a cow? Posts: 72 | Registered: Monday, July 8 2002 07:00 |

Shame about it not working on anything but OSX. Maybe want to make a note of that on your download site, save people the trouble. Maybe I'll get a better mac one of these days. -------------------- If you don't drink milk from your mother, why drink it from a cow? Posts: 72 | Registered: Monday, July 8 2002 07:00 |

btw Minor . . . u might try running ur BOA editor and the actually BOA game at the same time to see what everything looks like. Of course its more time consuming. -------------------- If you don't drink milk from your mother, why drink it from a cow? Posts: 72 | Registered: Monday, July 8 2002 07:00 |

Yes, but it'll only work if you have a Mac ROM image and a copy of MacOS. The Mac ROM image (and most likely MacOS) are amazingly illegal to own if you don't actually have a Mac. Why not just poke him til he makes it for Windows? [ Friday, July 30, 2004 03:14: Message edited by: Shining Lightbulb ] -------------------- Apparently still annoying.

As an emulator of MacOS, I know that there was PearPC, however, I think that one of the creators passed away and most of the project was shut down. You can still get a download of it, but I would tell you that the emulation is rather slow, so if you attempt to use it, be ready to wait. You can download the emulator here: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ The task of course, would be to find the ROM for MacOS 10.3, but if your really looking for it, it's out there. Unfortunately, this post is more informative than a surefire method to emulate, use at your own risk. -------------------- Life is short. Use a Mac.

So is anyone actually planning on porting this anytime in the not-so-distant future? Possibly? A definite "maybe" would be great. Knowing this tool is out there has completely robbed me of the willpower required to slog through outdoor sections in 2-D. -------------------- I ain't no ******* son of a *****.

A friend of mine has expressed interest in porting it, but he's unsure whether he's skilled enough at programming. Also, I'm still working on the Mac version. 0.10 will be ready soon (without tinting, unfortunately, but I'll be working on that after I finish 0.10). -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.

I have finished version 0.10b1! There is a new mode, which I call "realistic mode". It displays it just like in the game, as if you had a character in the center of the view. You access it using the same button (with a different picture) as the 2D zoom in/out button. Or, press OPTION-TAB (which also works in 2D to use the zoom in/out button). I finally worked out how to display those little bits of walls in the corner of two walls (it was very difficult). Let me know if you see anything wrong with it. Moving around the display should be significantly faster now (I think). And many minor bug fixes. As usual, download it from the link in my signature (or the one at the beginning of this thread - they both go to the same place). Oh, and if you haven't already, take a look at my "Links" page to find my favorite free games. -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.
