RingDesigner - Map Editor
Aino:
Are you ready for...
RingDesigner is a complete map editor which grants you the power to create maps very easy, either if it is on screen or when you look at the map code!
To start making maps, download and play it as a normal Eufloria Map :)
The controls are the same as RoidForge, if you haven't seen it:
1. Left click one of the tools in the top left.
2. Left-click to add and remove asteroids, or click-and-drag an existing asteroid when modifying its position, size and send distance.
3. If you want to select an asteroid without changing its properties, right-click it.
Thanks to Annikk.exe for making RoidForge in the first place, giving me a start, although I have written everything myself(except for some copy/paste snippets:P)
And thanks to Mihhaelo for acknowledging me about GetFactionColour(), not that I entirely understand it yet either :P
WARNING: When using RingDesigner, you'll need to restart the game after useage! For some reason when going from RingDesigner directly over to another map, you spawn asteroids whenever you click!!!
I hope I got you warned!
Somewhat a tutorial exist here, it has a very deep explanation on pictures!

Changed:
Removed all of the commented function appearing for asteroid not owned by any faction(it's useless and lines/size consuming!).
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: Version 1.03 ---
Changed asteroid stats(not attributes!) display from LevelDrawing to ScreenDrawing, meaning you'll see text in the lower left corner of the screen instead of thext on the left side of the selected asteroid. - Thanks to Lost Seedling for doing it in the first place :)
I also added and or to show wether SENDDISTANCE and/or RADIUS will be injected in the code for that particular asteroid.
To get the X, or ignoring, you must set the radius to so low that you can't make it smaller(for safety sake, still selectable!) then the X should appear!
The senddistance is just to put the senddistance circle inside of the asteroid itself, then it shouldn't be visible anymore :P

--- Quote from: Version 1.02 ---Content added:
Made SendDistances beign set in LevelLogic for the final output, hoping it'll give more control for the people making maps!

Lost Seedling:
Really fantastic and brilliant! This is what happens when a giant stands on the shoulders of a giant, I guess.
Just a suggestion for the next upgrade: It would be so great to have a small digital display somewhere showing the actual values not already displayed (senddistance, radius) being adjusted or implemented in real-time; but maybe that is just messing with perfection.
The generous investment in time and innovation I see in improving this game by people in this forum blows my mind.
Aino:
Wait...

??
Who's the giants and who is standing on which gient? o.O
And what do you mean by display? If you hover over the asteroid you'll see the values? Explain :)
Pilchard123:
Imma guessing you stood on Annikk. You expanded on RoidForge, hence standing on his shoulders.
It's a variation of a quote (supposedly) spoken by Newton: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the soulders of giants."
Aino:
Hmmm, I'm a giant :D
