3D Terrain Editor - Som1Lse - 03-22-2010

Well, I decided to make this editor for terrain for a game Im making.

Here is a simple test of the terrain editor:
Mediafire: Here.(slowest, always online)
My Computer: Here.(fastest, sometimes offline)
Also if you use this one please tell me how fast the download is.

Screenshots:

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

The textures included are free to use if you give credit as well as the music.

Thats extremely hard to do in Game Maker.
But I can give it a try.

I am not really knowing how good Game Maker is for doing this kind of stuff, but it would be great if you could some sort of fractal-procedures to create the terrain.
Something like this (Click to View)
If this is unrealizable, I recommend taking an external terrain editor, export the terrain as a height-map, and load it in your program. Maybe equip some new materials to the objects in the scene, etc. Would like to see some more progress :)

Oh, btw, is it doing this in real-time or is it actually rendering the scene?

That will stay a dream. Unless you choose to use a external DLL.

Well, as this is for a game I dont think it will need that.
AoM doesnt have that and in my opinion its the best RTS Game ever. (and Im aiming for a RTS)
Its BTW 100% compatible of reading height maps.

Well this is only a version 0.0001 for the level editor so when finished it will contain a lot more stuff.

Real Time.
Added Shadows.

Updated.
So yea. Would be much more useful to tell us what you included more into this new version. ~ blow_fly98
Why are you copy&pasting it? D: - Simoneon

Yeah.
I also felt like I forgot to mension something:)

  1. I have added a control panel at the bottom of the screen.
  2. You can change the cell width and height of the terrain.
  3. You can change texture as well as texture repetition.
  4. You can walk around on the terrain in First Person mode.
  5. You know have possibility to smooth the terrain.
  6. You can make the terrain lower and higher automatically.
  7. Added a minimap. You can click it to go directly to a part of the terrain.
  8. Smoothed the shadows giving them a more natural look.
  9. You now edit a bigger terrain with 4096 vertexes.
    This makes the terrain editing slower.
    You can change the terrain by going into the Terrains folder and rename the terrains.
    The terrain loaded is "09.ter".
Thats all I can think of now.
