Hi forgive me if this was already mentioned but,

in the editor if the object width and or hight is to big it will not let me reselect the object. It wouldn't be so bad but sometimes after I edit an object,
the object becomes HUGE and I can't fix it anymore.

Is it possible to fix this or not?

WolfensteinOdess · #**185** 05-14-2012, 08:06 AM

If the object size is too big it's impossible to deplace it.

What are the steps to create a huge un-resizeable object?

Also is anyone willing to update object docs and icons to speed up development of the next Editor version?

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**187** 05-31-2012, 07:55 PM

somewhere above 300 forgive my memory but I haven't used the editor for a while.

Paul · #**188** 06-06-2012, 03:00 PM

No one willing to help me out with editor related tasks then? Bah!

skychase2rebirth · #**189** 06-06-2012, 06:29 PM

I would have helped but I just started a new job, I'm kinda busy....
....buuuuuuut I can always try, can you tell me what is done so I won't waste time re-doing something ? ^^

For now, I have icons for slogs, paramites and scrabs, maybe I can do scrab left/right and no fall, wheels, greeters, motion detectors and fleeches today and see for something else tomorrow...

Edit: I'm almost finished with AO icons.

Any help at all would be useful

. PM me your IM or something? I can send you the latest xml/icons to add to?

skychase2rebirth · #**191** 06-06-2012, 06:59 PM

I'll probably finish all the AO icons today and send it to you right after.

Edit: Some objects like shadows or edges may stay empty so we can see through, if I put icons on those, stockyards unremovable shadows will totally hide everything...

Don't worry about that, the next Editor will have transparency, Z Order by area, hide objects by type and wire frame mode options

Edit: And bring selection to front option too.

I think I posted it in the LVL files thread?

Paul · #**196** 08-29-2012, 10:22 AM

Bump.

Anyone feel up to the task of designing some graphics for a launcher?

The launcher will start before AO/AE and allow you to pick which mod to play from a drop down list. The image doesn't have to be square (think Adobe X splash screen) but don't go too crazy, it can have a little animation too (again nothing too crazy).

Maybe a soul storm brew factory or something? The animation could possibly be an LED scroller, I really don't know

Tada!

Paul · #**198** 08-31-2012, 09:38 AM

Excellent although it could do with being about half the size and having the text changed.

Something like "Pick a mod then sit down and shut up" or whatever. It wouldn't make sense to say its loading if you've not picked which one to load yet..

Here's how it looking.

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**203** 09-01-2012, 05:01 PM

it looks terrific.

Glad I could help.

SligStorm · #**204** 09-01-2012, 05:51 PM

I've been following this for a while but is there still not a editor for Abe's Exoddus to allow CAM changing or is there still a problem with that?

like you mentioned about the dll thing a while back but isn't there a tool to patch AE for it?

Phylum · #**205** 09-01-2012, 06:18 PM

Holy crap, it's Sligstorm!

This might actually make me install AO on my computer. I tried a few custom levels on my old computer but the file swapping was a bit tedious. I laughed at mOdds.

as far as I know there hasn't been a new version of the editor released aside from private releases.

What happened was that during the development of the DLL I figured out a bunch of other stuff.

So now the DLL has the mod UI, works for AO and AE and allows custom hint fly and led messages, custom AE cams, adding as many collision items as you like and changing the map size.

Adding support for these into the editor will take me a little longer!

WolfensteinOdess · #**208** 09-02-2012, 01:23 AM

Good good good good !!!!

Is it at all possible to increase the size of the cams, or have you concluded it's physically impossible?

xXxrenhoekxXx · #**210** 09-02-2012, 01:51 AM

I'm pretty sure the cam size is built into the game.
