DevourerI did not read eevrything so I'm not sure if all those features will be avaible...
but here is what I have a mind:
Thanks for reading, hope that helps.
but here is what I have a mind:
- Grid SCMD has this, it's important
- Perma Location SCMD has this, it's important
- Perma "can be placed here?" [just the grey spots when you select a ground unit and want to place it] sure I guess...
- Display TERRAIN only easy to implement, make sure to bug visible section developers about this
- Display DOODADS only see above
- Display UNITS only see above
- A windows where the exact unit sizes are displayed (for inverted locations) ... sure, why not .-.
- Just for terrain-check, so you can check if a unit can past "there". maybe you place a unit, and then you can select it, and "order" it somewhere. So you can check if the unit can get past small terrain parts or not. that would stop all the ingame tests extremely difficult to implement, unlikely to be included in anything
- string editor like in SCMdraft I plan on working on a string editor program (right after my current one actually), it'll be leaps and bounds beyond SCMdraft's fail. Don't count on me delivering until after I release something though.
- WAV Editor with all stardat.mpq wavs ofc. and high/med/low/no compression for self-imported ones .-.
- That you can click on the editor-screen while the trigger-editor is opend, so you can add units/locations while it is opend ehh, I don't think you quite get the nature of this project...
- display all parametres in triggers in a costum color I dunno
- trigger count easy to implement, bug whoever does the trigger editor
- string count will be part of that string editor I mentioned about
- locaiton count I think SCMD has this, probably a lot of the other count stuff to
- location editor (just displays a "minimap" and a block for each location. there is a list next to the minimap with all placed location listed. click on one of them and that block will be markes as green I dunno
- a compress-editor so you can erase unused unit-names (if they are set, but not needed in triggers/ingame), unused location, "never" triggers, comments, and location names kind of outside the scope, also don't compressors already exist?
- Map-Protector with password-protection
I certainly won't make anything of the sort - allow illegal doodad placement SCMD does this
- ofc the copy/cut/paste function shouldn't be missed they aren't in SCMD
- a function which always deletes flags, which would crash if you click on it wut
- a function which erases each unit, which cause crashes when game starts k .-.
- Maybe an "addon" for the trigger editor: just an input field named "hyper triggers" if you tick it hyper triggers automatly will be added, if not, they'll be removed
- a string-color-codes addon, which shows which color IS what color in what section (like "green" in map-title is red etc.) My string editor should have a string preview functionality that should cover this
- Map-Zoom (best: costum) kind of tricksy maybe, I dunno
- a Tech/upgrades extra button: Make all Techs researched/ all upgrades max, and would be cool if there are buttons like these for each single race .-.
- an "ingame-screen" so you can look how it would look like ingame (console etc.) hmm interesting, what would this be useful for?
- maybe jsut some extended terrains which are pre-done (like a high cliff x2 [from falko
]) so you can place it as a "doodad" SCMD has this (I think, you can import brushes right?) - doodad: convert to terrian function would be cool SCMD has this
- In the tileset editor there should be a extra slot where a/the walkable-null-terrain is. SF has this. any sufficiently customizable interface would have this as an option
- This may is hard to make, but maybe a "balance checker" it compares each dmg/armor/hp of the selected units and they will tell you if all are blanaced or if there is a unit which would be to good I'm not sure how such a thing would work tbh
Thanks for reading, hope that helps.
If you want progress to be made on some kind of visible sections editor you should bug farty.

Eventually the tools might be consolidated, but that's so far in the future that you shouldn't worry about it yet.

I can copy and paste units in SCMD. I don't get quite what you're referring to.

It seems that my offers of cookies and assistance in programming related matters aren't enough to get people exciting about developing mapping tools.
Only one person other than myself, A_of-s_t, said they planned on contributing. And A_of-s_t seems to have disappeared.

You should just do it yourself. It seems way harder to do this community map editor then it would be to just create an open source map editor yourself, and especially way harder on the mapper to deal with working on every part of the map in a different program. If you want something done, do it yourself, then once you have at least something to show people would be more inclined to contribute. No offense but, have you even started doing stuff? (you probably have but just checking) Anyway, I hope you don't take this post in a bad way, I don't mean it to be. Good luck!

I may have dissappeared, but I'm still working on it

I just figured out what I was doing wrong in my test program, which incidentally was the last problem I was having (Turns out I was forgetting to offset some of my pointers by 8 to account for the header). So I can contribute now
Is there always a blank trigger in maps? In my test map I only put 2 triggers, but the section size indicates that there are 3 present...
