[Development] YiasEdit - A 3.X Mapeditor

[Cromon]

Adding objects works like this:
Type the path to the object (e.g. Creature\Illidan\Illidan.m2) into the pink field. After that click into the world to get the focus out of the inputbox. Then move the mousecursor to the position where the model should be placed and hit the 'j'-Key. If you have selected a WMO or MDX you can hit 'y' to copy that model (rotation and orientation will not be taken).

Here are some more information about what is planned:
Lot of peoples would like those projects to be open source. Me too im normally release my applications open source. But the wow-section is a business where you cant do that. So the app will rest closed source. But there will be a feature that will compense that!

The plug-in-system!
The plug-in-system is an advanced interface for you to create own functionalities for the application. You can add your own UI-elements, you can draw 3D or 2D objects, there is a possibility to implement own functions of raising/lowering terrain and so on! This is handled simply using DLL-files and a specialized pluginmanager. Examples for that will follow soon!

I guess further releases will come saturday cause i need to reset my computer

cromon, can u take a look at noggit on how it handles smoothing out land and try to implement it? You can lift and lower land, but u can also use a brush to make it smoother without raising any. For example if i make a huge flat land and i wanna make the sides smooth by lifting the sides with say quadratic, the land on the side will rise, but some of the flat goes even higher. Also, are you gonna look into textures? noggits 3d texturing is very good but noggit crashes on my shitty computer because of the opengl or something. Your tool runs perfectly.

Hi Demonshade!

Yes, texturing is in planing. Will do that after the shadowerror and the (optional) rendering of water.

First ill release the plugin-interface so other peoples may work on other ways of shaping the terrain and so maybe there will allready be someone other implementing the smoothing of the terrain. If not ill do it^^

i tried what you said, it just makes some sound and nothing shows up m8 /:

any idea m8 ?

[Cromon]

Hi pwnzoor

did you show up the WMO and MDX with the keys - and _ ?

[Demonshade]

Hey again,

one more request on my part. on the map selection screen u should have an option to edit the wdt to add a new adt.
As in, u click kalimdor, the map shows up, then theres an edit button the corner and the wdt loads allowing to delete and add adts

Ok, ill try to implement that, shouldnt be a big deal *makes a notice on his block*

[pwnzoor]

btw m8 any ways to delete wmo's you have added or be able to rotate them

and btw thx alot of fast answers :P

[Cromon]

Deleting ive just forgot

Rotating is possible, but its a bit strange with the keys, they may be depending on the language. On my keyboard its ö ä and $. I think ill find some better keys for that. (its planed to set the camerarotation to the mousewheelbutton and use the right button with motion to rotate objects).

[pwnzoor]

haha hope deleting will come

accidently spawned 2 things at same time so no way back then making it float high in air XD

well got the $ rotation working (turns it upside down), but the ä and the ö wont work as i dont have a german keyboard setup

[Cromon]

Sure, will give deleting tomorrow . Reinstalling wow and visual studio prof atm... For the other rotations i can give you the ascii-codes:
246
233
228
224
36
163

these are all the ascii-codes of the rotations. Maybe you can find the ones on your keyboard

[pwnzoor]

found solution, you can add german keyboard to ur pc :P but keys wont be at normal places, so just have to find them <3

German Keyboard Layout
Look at "Deutschland und Österreich"

do u plan on makign a normal gui to take out some of these shorts. aka when u target an m2 something comes up which lets u push buttons to rotate in any direction and move up down left right. Then when u target the adt it gives u buttons for the terrain type, radius as a slider with an input box next to it. Etc.
