If anyone who has made an in-game map editor doesn't want me to continue, I'll stop immediatly. If you have not submitted the in-game editor to the forum and tell me though, I won't!
I also hope everyone who has seen another in-game editor is fine with me making this

If you mean me, I'm fine with you making whatever.  :>  RoidForge is just an asteroid field designer, I've kind of decided that is all it will ever be.  A graphical level generator is a logical next step of course, but I'm not going to be the one to make that step.  So, by all means, dig in.. :>

[Aino]

Annikk, I wonder... Do you have any on-going project now? Cause I need help with Icons and you seem to handle them pretty ok

[annikk.exe]

I used a combination of lines and sprites to make mine.

My current project in theory is the 3D engine.  In practice it's work stuff.  :/

[Aino]

:/

[annikk.exe]

Is there anything I can help with that doesn't involve coding the icons themselves?

If you need advice about what sort of icon you can make to represent a particular function, I can probably help with stuff like that.. :>

[Aino]

Finishing it now, fixing save and going to make icons... I got a problem though, going to fix it after save though

[Aino]

Icons, my least beloved thing to do in this editor, is soon to come :/

After that I'll do some final polishing and release it. Yet I need a name, anyone want to give me one? It's a full editor with two lacks, you're not able to add seedlings, nor trees... But they are printed as comments when the map is saved. This editor is enabling you to change litterally everything about the asteroids(that is useful to change at start!)

So, any names?

[Aino]

I guess I'll call it RingDesigner, I know the name sucks

Two last Icons show hard to make, on is about treecap and another one is owner of the asteroid D:

Draw a simple tree with lines; a tall vertical line for the trunk, and a bunch of horizontal lines - narrow at the top, wider at the bottom, to represent branches.

and another one is owner of the asteroid D:

Hmm, perhaps a circle made out of half a dozen Sprite ID 1's, each a different colour (to represent the different player colours).

[Aino]

Annikk, GREAT STUFF

I thought of the tree thing, but I thought of more advanced, like the in-game one :/

[Aino]

Actually, the owner one, I'll make the color sheme for all the factions, then the owner's colour sprite will be greatly increased in size

I have the stats thing is very cool, I NO wanna spoil

[Aino]

Creating a new topic - meaning I'm done

Enjoy the power it gives!
