[Mac] New SparkEdit thread with updates

`sword · Post by **`sword** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 7:07 pm

So hey, I'm going to use this as the official update thread. I'll be posting some of the latest screenshots, downloads, etc. I'll also be keeping a to do list in the first post for all to see. Right below that will be the completed features thread.

I would like to thank bobindashadows for beginning the project and providing the source. He's done most of the work, I'm more or less doing the polishing up.

Version updated to 1.7 for Intel macs, PPC build will be out sometime later.

The Item Duplication button does not currently work.

SO! The to do list:

1. Equipment Insertion / Duplication
2. Teleporter Insertion
3. Scenery Duplication
4. Tweak the translation editor so that its easier to use

Completed Features:

1. Map Loading
2. Map Change Saving
3. Scenery / Vehicle / Weapon Swapping
4. Item Rotation
5. Coordinate Plane Lines

Moved Tree:

Timberland on the Intel build (lol):

More to come soon!

Intel Version loads now, but when I load a map, all I see is blackness. I tried to zoom out, but that still didn't work

Remember, you have to have bitmaps.map in the same directory as the map you're opening in SparkEdit.

God I love you Sword.

All those hours making mods in Eschaton, and its spawn point editor- Eschaton's brilliant, but on a large scale, it takes forever.

no real gripes here sword but if you made it take maybe 30 secods to load that would b great it takes a minute or two on my machine

sparkedit is a really cool app all it needs right now is

item duplicator
teleporter
and the ability to rotate objects any which way

i need those features cause i am working on a really awesome log mod for the mac (better than bbt mods) we are talking a HUGE mod one that will prolly take up 5 extra MB give or take. if you can give me a hint how the map file structure works in the area of item duplication i got most of my log mod already laid out all i will need is the teleporters.

(plans on creating a program to make life easier)

umm just a question can you duplicate items a vast amount of times say like 10000 times + ??

Hold down control.

Oh I should have read the readme file. lol

Hey, good job on spark edit. But when you come out with the scenery rotation, will you be able to turn things upside down too?
