Prefab Editor (Alpha)

[Pille]

Have you noticed that you can use the export function to resize prefabs? Of course a fix of the delete column/row function would be better but Pille is a busy man atm, you know.

[Laz Man]

Still having delete column/row issues, fyi.

 

I know they weren't in your "fixed" list, but thought I'd tell ya anyway. =)

 

I work around the issue by saving every few column/row deletes.

 

Edit: Sooooo close to finish my mcdowells prefab. You guys are going to love it. I was prepping installation instructions last night but then 16.2 dropped......T_T

 

Need to do one round of validation testing.

I didn't see 16.2 drop, I'll have to update my server. My game is still on 16.1... and it's set to auto update.

Only experimental 16.2. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeh I save every delete, but sometimes it happens on the first delete. Pille, what can we provide you with to track this down?

[Pille]

I think I've everything I need, thanks. As already mentioned, 'if everything goes well the electricity update will be shipped this week and then I do have time to fix this crappy function'. Up until then, please use the export tool instead.

Release the kraken.

So I"m working on a combat arena/challenge course... I have a 200x200 block area. I wanted to import another prefab into this area, but I get an error that my current prefab is too small. Required is 45x40x47 blocks. How is this possible?

 

Screencap:

[Pille]

Your prefab is not high enough. The height is 30 blocks but should be 47. Click on front view, then tools tab -> insert rows and add the 17 missing layers.

 

Edit:

You're still using version 0.3. I recommend you to install the latest patch.

How do i add columns and rows to a particular side?

[SevenDaysToDieModEditor]

this tool is very good.

Although copy and paste seem to be disable, are you planning to implement it in the future?

[Pille]

Update Time!

 

Changelog v0.3s (August 3, 2017):

- add function: add columns and rows at specific position

 

 

 

@Mana

You're very lucky. I just added this function...

 

 

* enter 0 in the 'at row' text field to add rows to the bottom

* enter a big number (e.g. 1000) in the 'at row' text field to add rows to the top

* enter 0 in the 'at column' text field to add columns to the left side

* enter a big number (e.g. 1000) in the 'at column' text field to add columns to the right side

 

 

 

 

@SevenDaysToDieModEditor

Those buttons are disabled, yes. However copy and paste works. Use Control + C (ctrl + c) to copy the selected blocks to the clipboard. Press Control + V (ctrl + V) to paste the copied blocks. Press V to show to clipboard (if your cursor is over the grid).

Hey Pille

 

Is it normal for when removing columns and rows the program not responds and hangs for ages to do it or have i done something wrong

I do them just a few at a time as I was having trouble doing 10-15 at once, seems to work ok for me.

It worke tho in the end just took a while of not responding and yeh large areas removed. But yeh also noticed the less rows/columns removed the faster.

Actually, no. Must be a very big prefab, right? Deleting half of the columns or rows from the biggest vanilla prefab takes 4 seconds on notebook.

does this mean we'll see some A16 versions of your old prefabs...?, I could think of a couple that would need that kind of claim zone to extract

Changelog v0.3t (August 7, 2017):

@Slaan

The bug fix is ready. Now I am sure that import function is bug free (99% sure^^).
