MapBuilder

MB is a lightweight outdoor level editor ideal for 3DGS beginners for creating game scenes within minutes without deep 3D knowledge. It is terrain based, populating with sprites, models, and wmb entities is really easy, just one click. Entity placement and modification, sky and material adjustment, terrain deformation and texture painting in real time, by a simple graphic interface, with open source save/load system.

Wmb levels can be opened and exported too, from version: v.1.07. Postprocessing in WED is possible by .$$m files.

Freeware resources are included in the package. Compatible with both A7 and A8 engines. Suited for 3DGS 'Free' and 'Extra' editions of 3DGS. Later some additions of shader functionality can be expected for 'Commercial' users.

The editor package, 4 simple example game projects (open source, containing the necessary MB level loading scripts), a script and file package for creating new projects, and the (partially ready) online documentation can be found at MapBuilder homepage .

There are also some other resources and tutorials too. Everything for free laugh

Other 3D packages already have great 3D editor.
3DGS need to be refined, GED is crashing too much : unproductive.

Count on me to test it laugh

Hi all!

I need some help...

I'm working on the terrain height editing and texture drawing extension, but I have problem with saving the modified terrain as .hmp.

I tested Widi's terrain_resave.dll from his terrain deformer, but it saves wrongly the first terrain chunk (at saving this part changes back to the original shape), while the other parts are perfectly processed...

If anyone has such a tool, or has more experience than me, please help laugh

You could ask Oliver2s. He`s the man behind the IceX level builder. I think that tool had such functionalities.

@Rondidon: thanx a lot for the prompt info, I heard about IceX editor somewhere, but it was A6, wasn't it?

@HeelX: thanx, yes I saw your "ask the developer" posts... good luck for getting info from Jcl, I'm really interested in it, but my programming skills are limited... laugh
