a little more work done on the pistol..

nothing special just a grid showing level_ent size - of course, its size is auto updated on entity placement outside actual boundaries.
a bit ugly on far distances but good enough for us
that green church is just a preview following mouse position, thus you can see exactly where it will be after a click.
I'm happy with everything, but too lazy to make the ground and water terrain placement menus... currently the only option is that ugly startup wizard, so it should be made anyway...

I thought this is just a prototyp whats with unreal 4?

3dgs: editor development / game prototyping
ue4: learning / testing / waiting for a more flexible terrain system

@Sivan, but don't you think it is bit of a waste of your time to make an editor for gs if you are going to migrate to ue4 probably soon? (excluding the fact of honing your programming skills ofcourse) Or does ue4 not have good mapping tools (yet) and your going to translate it too ue4?

It's a shame that 3DGS is losing its users - likely due to its lack of updates over that last year... wait there were none..

Reconnoiter your posts are 666.

for the first sight it is waste of time, but it has given me a lot of experience how to and how not to do things, my work is much more organized now (still not enough). and after a long period without update, I decided to release a probably final version with a good enough source, then I can concentrate on my game again. of course I will add bug-fixes and minor features later.

since I develop my game within MapBuilder, a better editor is better for me too it has a simply separated code package not included in the released version. the engine itself is suitable for making my game even if no more updates come, I stay here for a while because I can work fast with it, but ue4 seems to be the right choice of future works for me. it is a heavy but very inspiring engine, being developed with light speed. e.g. visually debugging game/AI logic required a lot of work with 3dgs, and it is much simple in ue4; complex outdoor scene rendering also more optimized etc. but it depends on your needs/targets, any engine can work

playing with open street map overpass api

, lol , don't get me wrong though, I like gs3d and am planning to stay some time here. Besides the most annoying thing I had with gs3d was WED which I 'fixed' by having my own map editor (like Sivan did but less profi looking). Now I just need stop making crappy fps games do something where I am good at .

@sivan, well you can always ship your editor with one of your future games as a game map editor. The beauty of that is you probably only need to change a few things (e.g. add the units and stuff that users can place) while possible adding lots of value to your game for mappers/modders .

@txesmi, thats pretty cool, I could also see that being handy for a rts game that doesn't focus on graphics to much but more on tactics or such.

today I added the most simple menus to my editor (can be extended in future)
now ground and water terrain placement/removal is simple. water is always scaled to ground.
