Back to Task Lists

Overview

The Map Editor is the tool to create the game world of Adonthell and populate it with scenery, characters, items and triggers for map events.

Dependencies

• Map View (for loading/saving maps, rendering)
• GTK+ Backend (for integration of map view into editor)
• Object Browser (for simple selection of map objects)
• Object Editor (for convenient creation of object models)

Requirements

• Utilize in-game rendering to save work and display map exactly as seen in game. (done)
• Drag Objects from Object browser to place them on the map. (done)
• Flood fill large areas with ground tiles.
• Display coordinates (x, y, z) of each object on the map.
• Display guide lines for floating objects that show their position on the ground below.
• Adjust Z-position of objects to arbitrary values or let them 'drop' to the ground. (partially done)
• Name certain areas or objects on the map, so their location can be used for NPC schedules.
