PlanetX Map Editor (1.2)

[bloomk]

just FYI, in my game, an actual "race" may only last 15 seconds. This makes the load time of the map very important. nobody wants to wait 10 seconds for a map to load when your only gonna use it for 15-20 seconds. That is why my caching system is there cause load times are so important..

The source code is not currently available for purchase, sorry. The PXMs are really designed for loading everything at once, so it might not be ideal for your project.

We have some problems. I´ll try to explain it in list below.

1. vegetation is hiding with distance.. But it is not working. There is startdist and fardist. but that start dist is not working. In that fact minimeshes are not faded in continously.
2. Is it possible to fade out minimeshes (vegetation) trought alphachanel? For mor continously efect..
3. Spot light is not working correctly, we are not able to set directions of that light.
4. Is it possible to assing normal map on that landspace when we are using splatting texture mode?? (how?)
5. What is the point for object texturing using more layers? one is for base texture, second for normal mapping etc.
6. what about shortcuts? I mean shortcuts for move, rotate, scale (as our last conversation)

1. I am not sure why this is so, but it has to do with TrueVision. I haven't been able to get fading to work with TV for a long time. Maybe ask sylvain.
2. See above
3. I'm not sure why, you know that the direction is a vector and not an actual "look-at" point, right?
4. No, that is not currently supported in TV by default
5. The layers are for different effects. Stage0=Diffuse, Stage1 = normal, Stage2 = height, Stage3 = emissive.
6. I haven't had time to work on that yet, but hopefully I will be able to soon.

In order for fading to work, blendmode has to be set to ALPHA, and the colormode has to be set to False.  In doing this, colors will no longer work, however, but materials and fading will.

this isnt in pxme on vegetation menu
no blending mode,no color mode

[pizzayoyo]

You can always set these things yourself when you are loading the map.

Code:

For Each Vegetation as _VegetationObject in Map.Vegetation.Values
Vegetation.SetBlending...
Vegetation.SetColorMode...
Next

[Gamecode]

hmmm, not run
set blending mode,
colormode ... and nothing

news ?

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying.

I'm not exactly sure that fading even works with the minimesh class anymore, you'll have to ask a dev or another member.

Hello, we need some plugin for your editor. We need add missions into our game maps. example: we load mapa.pxm and mission.pxm together into one game.. in mission.pxm will be included all  checkpoints, weapons , mission information etc.. It would be easy to make new missions. It would be perfect if you can add button "create mission" and when you click on it you´ll be able to create missions. All object from mapa.pxm will be locked and it sould have some different color "just by material setting or another way you know.." When you will be done, just save mission as, that will ask you for mission name and that is all. It will need some another function like "open mission" Are you able create this plugin for your editor? It should help to all developers.. That way when you add all mission information into one map and set them custom properities is not acceptable because when we have one map and 30 missions it will be loading all 30 mission just for one game..  It will increase load times and map will be too confusing. We need resolve this problem as soon as possible. Thank you for you time and for that canges which  repaired problems with custom properities conflicting with instances. It work perfect and it is a big progress for us. Have a nice day. Sgames.

Hello ,

Im unable to load my map with PXME loader example in VB code.
" Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
Does exist some rule to keep PXME working ?

[purri]

I would like to pay to get full program, what i should do?

[Dimple]

Look at the 1st post on page one, I'm not sure if it still costs the same so maybe you should be asking pizzayoyo about that.

[Hypnotron]

Seems this project is dead.  Not sure why anyone would want to buy a dead closed source level editor.

[purri]
