Maybe it would be a solution to completely ignore all lightmaps when loading the level. Than replace every static with a dynamic light. Of course a preview mode with static lights would be possible, but I can not reduce the lightmap-compiling times.. thats the thing of the 3DGS-Compiler (I don't want to compile levels on myself ).

Actually I'm just a little bit afraid of the wysiwyg preview quality if the level consists of dynamic lights..

EDIT: [b] Does anyone know a possiblity to build a level (which has lights in it) in a very fast way - WITHOUT paying attention to the lights ==> the level has to be completely black.
I could change the lightmap gamma to 0, but the damn lightmap compiler doesn't get it and generates all the shadowmaps..)[/b]

This is a great project. Most I like it, that it is programmed in C++ because I´ve the problem with most of liteC programs, that they are to slow.

Lightmaps would be usefull. But if there is no lightmapping, the tool is of course not useless.

And again added some features.
The most important one, you can not see.
1) You're now able to save created/changed/removed materials.
2) Levels are saved correctly. Additionally I now load everything out of the wmp file ==> Everything (could)/can be changed (paths/sounds etc.)

Again: I'm always searching for support. No matter if coders (c-lite/c++) / designers / shader programmers / sound developers or whatever. WRITE ME A PM
3D-Gamestudio includes to less resources therefore everything is needed.. shader/code/sound/model etc. etc. libraries. And everything is easy to implement in this program.
(and maybe i could also need a little bit of help with the programming ^^)

Working on a shader-library right now:


Enhanced possiblities to deform terrains:


working on the light feature. I'm not sure if it's possible to implement it, but maybe it could.. The first feature shows the scene with static, the second with, i admit, a little bit edited dynamic lights, which than can be edited.




better entity editing support:


better shader support

great, it's nothing but great
anyway, when do you approximately plan to gives a demo or even finished version?

Yes..demo would be good..keep up the good work..

@cro and cerberi: It's a freeware project.. help and it'll be released faster..

@all: new features:

1) an optional new tab bar on the left side in which you can move every tab.

2) Generating / smoothing / painting on heightmap

Working on the Model library (as always: Every moddler who wants to contribute sth. is welcome)



Additionally the terrain creating system (implemented splitting of heightmap / skins and terrains) is almost finished.

Just one word:
Awesome!

edit:
Now that I've been cured from astonishment let me say that this project looks very good and very interesting so far.
To me it looks way better than GameEdit, or what was the name (I mean the ingame editor of Triple-X).

Keep up the good work!

Sorry that I cannot be of any help.

Yes it was GameEdit

Working on the creation of terrains
