This thread shall not fall into obscurity, even though it's only on page 3. People must know

[SeaBee]

+1 lurking and tagging thread for future observation and/or wide-eyed wonder.

This looks pretty sweet, like SS13 except not built on horrible BYOND. Don't let this die.

Time for some content: I am the aforementioned Spacerat working on the editor, and I bring you screenshots.


Currently the editor doesn't show you previews of the various entities, but at least they actually work!


Loading a new tileset in to the editor. It's also possible to do this automatically in a Lua config file - in fact, that's the preferred method of loading tilesets.

It's nowhere near finished of course, and frankly the core of the whole thing could probably do with a rewrite (writing GUI apps by hand is icky). But it's certainly functional and supports larger maps than anyone would ever need. The feature set is pretty slim at the moment; you can load tilesets and entities, place them, and save/load. Are there any more advanced editing features any potential map-makers feel the need for? In the spirit of this whole project, I might end up implementing them with some kind of Lua plugins system, alongside the Lua config stuff it already uses.

On the topic of GUI, I also wrote the game's in-game GUI module (windows/textboxes/etc). That's totally skinnable too, but I'm not sure if Catdaemon already has a skinner or plans to do it himself. Regardless that whole system will probably get a rewrite too since the current skinning system is horrible, and this time it may support clientside Lua scripting or even be entirely written in Lua. That's a while off, though.

Yes, content updates are always awesome, thanks =)

Unfortunately I'm not a mapper myself, so i can't help you there. The mapper for Baystation12 would probably have something to say.

I can't wait to see what goes on in the Gaylord room

A way to edit variables would be required. I don't know how you guys handle objects and all that though.
But things like linking a button to (a) certain fuction(s), setting the access levels of doors, having blast doors start in the open state, you get the idea.

I just realised the topic asks for "Artists" not "Artist"

[Ozyton]

I imagine they want all the help they can get. So... I'm not working on the project, but if you think you can help you should ask them anyways.

Deon, what's the status of being able to help with this? =o

When I saw the title, I figured this would just be some cheap rip-off of the SSX snowboarding series. I'm pleasantly surprised.

By Genesis not being updated you may see that I have some time spent on real deals (diploma) . In a week or so I should get plenty of free time again.
