Hiyoto Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Request: would it be possible to have the editor export heightmaps? Format preference would be bitmap, PNG, GIF, or any other common noiseless compression format. The heightmap could be generated relative to its own local height only or also factor in Z-axis placement of the prefab. So if world Z is say 32 and the height of the prefab is 16, the lowest color would be (32+0; air block) 202020 and highest would be (32+16) 303030... think my math is right on that. I'd like to have this feature so I can export existing chunks of terrain for relandscaping in Cubicle. It's the only workaround I can think of in place of exporting to *.QB.

Apart from version updates and tweaks (and occasionally when I'm bored of my other coding) I'm not planning many updates till I'm playing again. I'm hoping A9 brings some spice back to the game because I'm barely playing at the moment due to nothing to do in game. My next task for the editor will be looking at implementing Hiyoto's GUI improvements and maybe keyboard shortcuts. Speaking of keyboard shortcuts - eventually I'll have them mapable but the first version will be hard coded so if people have ideas for which keys are best for you builders I'm open to suggestions.

I sincerely appreciate all the work you've put into your editor and without it, I can't play 7 Days to Die. I enjoy building WAY more than actually legit-playing (I like constructing things with Cheat Mode and exporting to the editor!) and without making a design into a prefab I can't fathom losing progress or having to completely world wipe and start over.

I'm really hoping for some sort of quest system. Or at least the beginnings of one - cause ya know, modding :) I can't do the awesome prefabs so I play for the survival aspect and I can go from start to having all the stuff I need to survive in a couple of days on the hardest settings. Once there I've nothing to do and no reason to explore (except when I've added a new prefab from one of you guys - thanks!) Fingers crossed A9 isn't far away :) [QUOTE=Hiyoto;95954]If you have a pending list of shortcuts, we could contribute our ideas on how they could be mapped.

bigc90210 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 awesome editor dude, i used it for cleaning up my first prefab and its great! couple of feature requests: The ability to remove rows/columns from the prefab (can only add at the moment) some way of being able to see a preview of a block before you place it (so its easier to see what direction something is facing before you place it a method of mass changing of block direction (i couldnt figure out if this was already possible?) a method to automatically set all blocks in a prefab's damage to 0 (or any other number/mass change?) a method of setting the status of doors that have been placed (open/closed/locked?) also, does anyone know how to add sedan cars to prefabs? i cant seem to find them in the block/item list.

bigc90210 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 One thing i thought would be awesome if you could include it, would be for when choosing a block, to be able to see the thumbnail of what the block looks like (like how its been done in the recipe editor) [url]http://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?7910-BloodSlinger-s-Advanced-Recipe-Editor[/url] it would save loads of time and help get an idea of what the prefab looks like as youre building it.

He's building a 3D viewer for the blocks in the game and has said he'll build in a command line control method that I can use from within the editor. With his system you'll be able to tell what the blocks look like and how the block shape moves in different orientations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abneypark Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Nice editor however i can not load my prefabs into the game, I get a message saying "no player with steam id found" I have added my steam id into the settings under the steam id format "SteamID example: STEAM_0:1:1234567" any ideas?

HAL9000 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Put your steam name in (like "XXX has joined the server"), not your ID. I was meant to change the terminology a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsiegel Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hey Hal, Long time. I was just working on completing a prefab and thought that if you did find and read a prefabs location from the xml file, it would be a nice feature to be able to display that region and be able to clear only that region the prefab is in rather than clear all the regions from that save game. This would allow the user to work on prefabs in an area of the map while maintaining the other area's in the game. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL9000 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hey Wseigel, Yeah, long time! How are you? Yeah a more targeted version for region deletion is on my to-do list. I'm also going to add a command in game that tells you what region your currently in for when you want to do it manually. I'm going to try and get some new stuff added to the editor over the weekend and a new version released maybe Monday. Hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiyoto Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 This seems to be consistent. When importing a Qubicle XML it'll add two blank layers at the top. I've confirmed that the matrices before export do not have have any buffer room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
