Hi

And here we go! The CFJavaEditor!

     
     http://mids.student.utwente.nl/~michtoen/CFJavaEditor/CFJavaEditor.zip
     
     

At  this time, i had coded 8 days on him.

The whole GUI is working.

You can load maps, insert arches and safe them.
They work so far i can see, i saved/changed scorn and the
server eats the map (they saved in unix style so you can
copy it 1:1 also from windows or mac systems).


ARCH Files
-----------

The Editor looks for the arch folder in his directory.

** Copy a FULL arch folder over the arch folder in the CFJavaEditor
directory.
You can get a arch and a map package here:
     
     http://www.futt.org/crossfire_html
     
     

(the single files version, not the packed stuff from server)

You can set the arch files folder in the option panel of the editor.

The editor will load ALL arches and png and SORT them in the panels.

At the moment this is only 1:1 from folder to folder, so no type info
is used.

But the look is great. To avoid to many panels, you can copy things like
food, flesh, optical
and some more in a folder items.

The editor use the first folder level in arch as panel name. The 2nd
subfolder row as combobox names.
All other folder will be ignored.

The left mouse button will always SELECT a item.
With the right mouse button will set (on the map) or delete (on he panel to
the right).

The panel down will show data about the arch selected on map and in the
right map tile panel.

The info in the panel is very basic: only the arch name :)
I had no time to put in more yet, but its easy and there will come many.

In the right down corner is the text windows with the arch text!
BLACK text is from default arch, red text is from arch in map and changed
from
default!

You can write in the text panel but i dont parse this yet!

In fact, you can insert and delete arches but you can't change then yet!

Save will work, but carful - is tested only 30 min as i write this.

Ok, this whole editor piece is - great.
I like it very much.

The work is damn easy and it shows what can be done.

There are many menu items:

RandomMap - build a random map interface here peterm!

Script - Gros, here comes your scripts!

Maps - A collect and controlling system about the maps

and and and... Guys, you look to 8 days work.

Assume a month.

The full source is included!
Put this in CVS ASAP!


iam sleepy
