gizmo1 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 is there any offline map editors that you can save as a "map.dat" file? if not i'll just make one to help the community :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno 5.0 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i dont think there isbut that would be sooo helpfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo1 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 k i think i'll have to make one, what version should i make it for? 2.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 That sounds great man. 2.7 would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unnown Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 well it would still be kinda pointless and also you really need to know which maps already have data in them so your not editing the wrong map etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerii Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 A friend of mine has the POL map editor. if your using 30x30 maps it's great for offline designing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soljah Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Why don't you just map on a different server (127.0.0.1)? So it doesn't effect gameplay what so ever… Much smarter then creating something completely for the same purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerii Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 that would work too, but I'm assuming he want's it for offline use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo1 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 i choose to do it for the members of my game, if the server is offline then the mappers cant map. i'll probably just make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerii Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Nah dude, don't just make one. We just need to get our hands on the POL map editor and you can play with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerii Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I don't disagree with the idea, but I think he should at least look at the POL one. If you could just take the Map editor From the source and make it stand alone then you'd be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerii Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (On topic) I'd actually have to get in touch with my friend who's got the POL map editor. I've not seen him online for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oracle Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 There would just be some variables that would have to be made after pressing the save button. A little pop up would have to come up and say: map #?. And when you open it, you gotta put the map size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo1 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 yeah, but the programming is the hard part, i think i might make one for 3.0 since vb.net 2008 purely supports .png. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerii Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Best of luck with this project. If your going to make an engine based one, then it should be a nice addition to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
