Whats Up Now

[Karl G.]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a map editor right now. Until we get some more animated models, I don't want to get too far into the game so that I can't extract the animation code, so I'm going to take it easy for a bit and make something for you all to play with! For now, it will require that you put it in the Xenimus directory so it can use the MDJ models and BMP textures.

I'm sure theres some good map designers out there.

What will be the limit on size for a map?

[Karl G.]

The size limit is completely arbitrary--it's limited only by the amount of memory on the computer. I have the "limit" set at 1000x1000 right now, though (4-ish MB of memory)

Will there be some sort of event editor for stuff like: traps, torches, and tiles that require items/words, etc.?

Cause that would be some sweetness.

Wow this sounds awesome thanks karl when will it be ready?

I hope so. Right now, it will just be for making maps though. Oh and by the way--don't expect anything fancy right now. The main thing it will be able to do is WORK (everything else, for example ease of use, is secondary)

[Karl G.]

Ok, I'm almost done with the preliminary map editor. It will be distributed to those who have donated for bug testing before I update it some more and do a general release.

[Ender]

wow, that was fast.

[Necromadon]

Dang I have no money to donate at the moment.

[Karl G.]

Just about there! I want to add walls before I release this thing. Can you guys help me by telling me all the different kinds? I know there's stone walls...and house walls...and those walls you can't trans over...
