a_bertrand Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I just finished the rework of the in game map editor (used by the players for their own islands or by the admins). For those not aware of it, our game let players create their own content which will be played by others. To show the map editor, I made a demo version of it, which is visible here: http://eu.nowhere-else.org/demo_mapeditor.php You may try it, however changes will not be saved (for good reasons) and some tools have been disabled as well. To start using it, you may need to read the help (which appear in the middle). You may resize the browser window, and you can paint tiles directly on the map. Use the smart draw to avoid to choose each borders. Quote

a_bertrand Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Re: [sHOWCASE] New map editor Thanks :wink: This is only the 3rd complete rewrite of the map editor, and this design as been choose due the space saving requirement. So now everybody can optimize their screen, and have as much as possible visible map. Odd enough, like a lot of other area of the game, the Javascript code for the editor is now much bigger than the PHP counter part :-D Quote
POG1 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Re: [sHOWCASE] New map editor Its nice to see people here concentrate also on the UI. Very nice work, its a shame the demo version does not allow all the elements though. :) Quote
a_bertrand Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Re: [sHOWCASE] New map editor Well the demo version is linked to the real database, so I cannot let you edit the real world map (you may understand why). However I could provide a game account which does have the full editor if you want. And game GUI is one of the top most priority for me. I tend to work a lot to avoid reloads (so using AJAX or a lot of client side rendering), not only to reduce the network usage, but as well to make the players enjoy a faster experience. What is sub-optimal still is the normal game skin, which is not as cool as I would love it, and of course the game art which will never be as good as I would dream of ;-) Quote
