I believe the requirements for becoming a beta tester have not changed a bit... but they aren't steep at all, imho
Just have a mail to JCL and describe what you've done with 3dgs so far, what you're capable of etc. and chances are pretty good he'll "let you in" - if he doesn't, well... asking never does any harm, does it?

well im saying beta testing for map-edit, but if thre requirement for that are the same then i believe your need to have beta tested for 3dgs anyways..... i should write a tutorial and use that to show that i am worthy of being a beta-tester.

Two questions :

this is more than one year GameEdit is in dev.
what could be the estimated time in months for it t obe delivered at us ?
will it be integrated to 3DGS ( bought by conitec already ??) ?

Triple X :

Conitec has realeased a patch :
but no trace of gameEdit in it ???

in previous Posts you said :

"Game.Edit COULD replace WED if you build up your level out of entities. Block Creation with GameEdit isn't planed so far (tough it would be a nice feature of course)
"when is it published, how mush is it, where can i download it? "
1) the conitec version will be published in the next 1-2 months.
2) The GameEdit Version by me will be published around 2 months later.
3) There's no price until now.
4) You'll be able to download it after you bought it
TripleX "

So what is doing Conitec ?


When will you have an official site for GameEdit ?

I'll buy it for sure !

(it's really what lakcs to 3DGS and what Conitec team isn't able to do !
they should hire you , and at high price ! )

Hello,

At first I want to answer the most important question: Why is the development of GameEdit taking so long? The main problem is the save/load system of GameEdit. It's REALLY difficult to read/write an extern format (even if it's ascii) - wmp and $$M - with c-script commands in a pretty fast way.
It took me about 3 months to get this system bug-free and working.
Tough there are some bad-points: 1) speed (~20 seconds for a big level), 2) upwards/downwards compatibility 3) BUGS
I hope you can understand that I just can not take the responsibility for a bug in the save-system that causes 1000s of maps to be destroyed.
Of course this would be a worst case, but it's possible.
That's why the development of the Save/Load system took that long.

Now after three months I got a DLL of Conitec for Loading/Saving WMP/$$M Files, because of upwards/downwards compatibility.
I've tested this DLL. Results? 1)Bugs are not possible anymore (and if so they are the one of conitec ) 2) speed is fast (0.5 seconds for a big level => 400% faster loading), 3) upwards/downwards compatibility for ever

You might ask why I'm not happy? I'm thinking and worrying about the last 3 months. About all the testing I've made. All the nerves lost in this damn save code (WED: Invalid line:XXX got my "best" friend ).

But okay I'm now some experiences richer.I'm a young developer and maybe somedays I'll learn to ask my employer before if they have a better system than I can program in a long time.
You wont have to fear now that GameEdit will destroy your map. You will enjoy 400% faster loading times (as I said, 0.5 seconds instead of 25 seconds for a level with 1500 entities) and saving times.
So overall a good development for GameEdit (and for you), an annoying experience for me )

So lets hope for a good end of the development now. Without bugs and with a good load/save system
I have to say sorry,
greetings,
Timo Stark

and i have to say: yay! yay for Timo and his team!

Yes. A second yay from me. I appreciate your hard work very much and hope that you do not lose your passion.

Top notch and great work indeed.

When can we hope to find your product to be available ?
Lot of us will use it ,instead of WED indeed , and it's the tool
that will change totally 3DGS for people buying your product ,
More all people would must be forced to buy it

Any new cool screenshots about what is going on ?
