IceX3 Vehicle Engine is a tool to create complex utility vehicles in a WYSIWYG editor. The IceX3 Vehicle Engine comes with 2 parts: the IceX3 Vehicle Editor, where you create your vehicle and the Lite-C script API, for importing your vehicle into your game project. The API provides a bunch of functions yet. In the future more functions will be added.

In "assets" folder, there is a example vehicle, which can be edited with the Editor. In "API\example" folder, there's an example how to use the API. Thanks to user "Harry Potter" for flash light sprite.

it looks great! and definitely it is more than an inspiration for users to make great simulators

a question: the manual looks great, do you have a html framework to provide this? I would need a better manual too for my editor...

I just used the 3DGS manual layout.

If this program does what I think it does that's awesome! I can't wait to try it out.

Has anyone tested it yet?

I just gave the editor a try, it's incredibly well done, I'm really surprised!
It seems to be really flexible as well and the API could not be easier to use!

Thank you very much for sharing!

Thank you for trying.

Oh and I found a little bug, the scroll bar in the joints->collision box list does not work correctly, clicking the arrows does work, moving the bar itself has no effect though.

Thanks! Will be fixed in the next version.

That´s an awesome tool! Very stable and reliable!
I totally agree with Superku great job!

I'm getting pretty strange problem.. Editor's window is flickering and doesn't open..
Here are some screens:
Something is strange.. I remember that I could run it first time, and it was awesome.

Seems like a resolution problem. It might help if you delete the "IceX3" folder in "my documents" folder.

Yes, that fixed the problem, not I can run it, but still only once, to run it correctly for the second time, I need to delete that folder manually.

Maybe a very crude workaround: Write a small batchfile which deletes the folder and starts the editor.
