I've just download it, it looks great ! Perhaps I'm gonna try to make something with it... This 3D editor is a good thing, perhaps now more people will try to make scenarios, just cause it's looking appreciably better. Perhaps it's easier to use too, but I never tried, so, I can't make a great beta-tester... -------------------- "Il est interdit de se battre sur le Champ du Massacre; dit-il avant de marquer une pause, le temps de reflechir a la logique de ses propos."

Scrolling over outdoors, search a secret path on towns... It's also a good beta testing. If you find any odd behavior, please let us know on this board or Project: BoA Editor Remake on SourceForge.net [ Thursday, February 10, 2005 23:30: Message edited by: Notus ] -------------------- Project: BoA Editor Remake on SourceForge.net supports "3D BoA Editor" (Mac and Win), and creates advanced BoA Editor.

looks good. noticed a weird thingy though. i check the 'start with surface terrain' button, the outdoors are then fine. but when i go and edit the town, it's cave floored! now, i tried creating a hill. the program uses surface slopes. results in very funny looking hills. i'd post a screenshot had i webspace. this bug only appears in the first town, it seems, so it's not that bad, just a bit weird and annoying. :-) Posts: 73 | Registered: Saturday, December 25 2004 08:00 |

Notus, I just recently downloaded the code for this particular project and tried to compile it using Dev-C++. The compiler reported an incomplete list of warnings that numbered in the dozens. If you are not already aware of this, I thought I'd tell you, as these could be the reasons for certain bugs. I'll go ahead and fix as many as I can, but I won't upload it to the CVS until I get it to build and am certain it does not cause any more bugs. EDIT: Got rid of all the warnings brought up by MingW, and I found out how to fix the error posted on SourceForge. This is not in the current build, nor in the CVS Repository. EDIT 2: quote:Couldn't understand what you meant at first, but I think I do now. If I'm understanding you right, this is not a bug. The start with surface button only applies to outdoors. When you create a town there is a separate button that you need to press in order for said town to be on the surface. Kind of odd, but there you go.

kendl, KernelKnowledge12 I compared the 3D Editor with the original Editor on the effect of 'start with surface terrain' button on "New Scenario". As kendl said, town floor setting is different on the data 3D Editor made. As I didn't change this behavior intentionally, it should be a bug. I'll look into it on this weekend.

okay, i downloaded it and am now attempting to draw a town that isn't bad. more about that, later. way later ;-) (at least) one more problem, though. scrolling in the normal 3d-mode is fine (the speed, i mean), but it's way too fast on the 'in-game-3d-mode'. that mode is almost useless as of now. the rest of the editor seems to be working as should.

Too fast scroll!? I didn't imagine that kind of situation. Okay, can apply a standard technique to limit speed on games using a timer. But please wait until tomorrow. It's almost Saturday morning in Tokyo. -------------------- Project: BoA Editor Remake on SourceForge.net supports "3D BoA Editor" (Mac and Win), and creates advanced BoA Editor.

Was messing around, and I think I found a bug. I was editing a town and changed of the terrain of the very edge of the town. Instead of drawing the new terrain in just that one spot, it draws the terrain in the spot, and in a line that proceeds from that spot and goes out of the town. Not a serious bug, but a bug nonetheless. EDIT: I checked, and this happens in all modes. May not be a bug. EDIT 3: I checked in the game. Its not a bug. Notus - Do you get emails from the SourceForge Bug Tracking System? quote:Worked fine for me, so others might not experience this problem. Would a timer slow it in all cases? EDIT 2: I uploaded the Dev-C++ version of the project into a module called DevBoA3DEditor. The warnings issued by MingW are gone (commented out in case their removal results in problems).

In beta 0033, I have found a couple minor problems. 1) Without a scenario loaded, click Scenario menu, all items are greyed out -- except Change Outdoor Size. 2) On the cretae new scenario dialog box, I can hear two clicks when clicking on Start with surface terrain. 3) In realistic mode, I have noticed small black triangles, pointed down, between the west and north points on the graphics screen. The triangles when realistic mode is turned off. System: WinSuck 98se (the Sucked Edition) 198 Ram AMD-K6-2/350 MHz (if anyone's willing to donate an osX :D ) Other then these three items -- great little program. :D James -------------------- Sometimes I just don't know anything about everything -- or do I ?

quote:- this also freezes the editor, since neither 'cancel' nor 'ok' close the box (change outdoor size box, i mean). it's only a minor problem, since not many people will try to change outdoor size of a scenario that isn't ther, but it's a problem nevertheless. quote:- same here. quote:- [ah, understood what you meant] [ Saturday, February 12, 2005 04:08: Message edited by: kendl ] Posts: 73 | Registered: Saturday, December 25 2004 08:00 |

Thanks for bug reports quote:Registered as bugs 0006 Disabling 'Change Outdoor Size' Menu 0007 Dialog box: Radio button click sound quote:That black triangle indicates "Invisible area". As the center square on the editor screen is set to a little lower (SE) side, "Invisible area" caused by distance is visible on the upper (NW) side. You can see the effect of "Invisible area" better on the published scenario data, which has walls or trees. Okay, I'll start to fix them. Wait a several hours. Finished. Now preparing release. Sent to SourceForge. [EDIT] Forgot to explain the scroll speed limit. The scroll speed is limited to 10 square movement per second, on normal scroll mode in all directions. If the scroll speed is slower than this limit on your machine, this limitation has no effect.

It's almost a month from last bug report. Does anyone find another bug? If nothing, we'll entitle the latest version (Bete test release3) to ver1.0. Of course, we'll support it after making it to ver1.0, like Mac version. But major feature change will be reflected to the new editor we are coding now. -------------------- Project: BoA Editor Remake on SourceForge.net supports "3D BoA Editor" (Mac and Win), and creates advanced BoA Editor.

What is the status of this? Somehow, I missed the topic when it was posted, and I've been dying to see a 3d editor for Windows all this time.

Ah yes. I already found the 3d editor from the sourceforge link in Notus' siggie. How could I ever design without this? Oh right.

Hm. It is pretty good. I'd like to know one thing... Are you gonna make an auto-updater for it, so it will auto-update, instead of having to download it everytime it updates? It might probably be good. Like it could be on the Menu, probably in File menu, or something. Click the Update button, and it will check if there is any updates. If there is, it will ask if you would like to update. You could click Yes, or No. Also, one other question.... How long has it been since you last worked on it? -------------------- I'm a Brainstomer. o_O Posts: 11 | Registered: Friday, June 24 2005 07:00 |

I direct you to this thread. An auto-updater seems unlikely until perhaps well after the release of the remake. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
