NodeBoxEditor [0.9.0] - Zooming, dynamic snap res

[rubenwardy]

• Create solution
• Copy source files to solution directory, then use project>add existing files
• Go into C++ directories in project>properties
• Add irrlicht include directory
• Add irrlicht lib directory
• Compile program
• Copy .dll from irrlicht/bin to project/bin

For more help see irrlicht initial tutorial.

I am currently in the middle of another partial rewrite.

I am splitting the editor function into EditorModes, each one being a tool mode that can draw, update.

For example, the node box editor will be in NBEditor.h now, with a draw function to draw draggers on to the screen.

This makes it easier to manage editor modes (node creator, node editor, node box editor, texture tool, project properties)

Can someone help me? I am so confused....

Because when I try to download the WIndows 0.5 it wont work for me. The link goes dead.

It works for me, just tried it a second ago and the save dialog came as it should. You might want to either try with a different browser or maybe see if you have any blocking software that is blocking the ubuntuone site.

You have to right click the link and click "Save link as"

+1 Now nodeboxes won't be such a pain...

[philipbenr]

I know. My next MTFoods release will have some more nodeboxes. Pies, Cakes, cookies, chocolate, Cider, and even the cupcake are using nodeboxes, so You are able to open up a bakery with it. I'm going to add some more recipes first.

It is nice to know that this is being used, good luck!

[Annahstas]

I finally got it to work but the save button is not working for me? Wanted try making a few things... but, alas save hates me.

***EDIT: LOL Embarrassed read through posts to see save is yet to work. Might want to add that in a first post spoiler. ^^

[Iqualfragile]

can not get it to compile:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

This is a pretty serious matter, rubenwardy. It should be mentioned in the first post (and fixed whenever possible.)

I am currently doing a partial rewrite which should be finished next week, and that version will include a save :P

YEA! I loves you! Now I can start planning textures to my nodes I want to make XD

Will it also have a upload texture to node option as well?

***EDIT- Also will there be like a double/triple node option in the future? Like say two nodes side by side? instead of 16x16 node like a 32x16 or a 32x32 and so on?

[Sokomine]

If you want larger nodes, just make them larger than 1. They'll reach into their neighbouring nodes space. My travelnet box does that, as does the homedecor fridge. In general, it works fine for nodes that just stretch into the space above them. Nodes that strech into sidewise nodes may have problems with their collusion boxes not always working.
Apart from the above rather hacky solution, you can of course also create several nodeboxes and take care about their placement just when the main node is placed. Several furniture nodes (beds, sofas, ...) work that way.

[rubenwardy]

It will support multiple nodes, and you will be able to link them together.

However, you can not edit two parts at the same time, using this technique.


Instead, I might add a feature, that if a node over extends, the player can split it into multiple nodes, that spawn together.

I like this idea!

When will the save version be available?

Which part of the ideas?

Next week or the week after.

Any ideas why this nice program uses 99% of all my CPU speed?
I'm using Windows XP SP3, latest version.

It shouldnt do, unless you have a bad CPU.

What are you doing during this?

It is probably because when the project finishes rendering, it renders again without delay. The new version sleeps to limit fps to 60.

[twoelk]

I have noticed similar things or rather hear them ;-)
When I launch the NBG on my winXP some fans get really loud and they stay so even if I leave the program or in fact the whole machine idle. Quite similar to the behaviour if I start this other java and voxel based game. The fans only go quite again when I stop the NBG.

[rubenwardy]

Saving is complete!
I am now working on the load parser.
After that I will do some UI fixes and restructure to allow expansion for texture editing.
I will release it some time this week.

My fans do the same thing, on the old version.

Force V-sync in your graphics driver's control panel using an application profile (or just force it globally).

[rubenwardy]

I have just completed the file parser for file>open and file>save.

Now I need to add a logical user interface, and a key tracker.

In other news, when I release this update to 0.6, the project will make the massive name change to the "Nodebox Editor".

I know, I'm a bit late with this but I've tried serval things to solve this...
The problem still exists (same with minetest btw)


Or is this just the simple problem with my 32-bit system?

CPU Typ Intel Celeron D 346, 3066 MHz (23 x 133)
Befehlssatz x86, x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3

* Befehlssatz = "instruction set" for the CPU


EDIT: 100th post!

You should really use 64-bit, your processor supports it

This got a bit offtopic, also I knew it supports 64-Bit, but also 32-Bit, so I wasn't sure about that point. Thanks, I'm trying to update my old Windows XP (about 12 years old now) to something newer in 64 Bit :)

[rubenwardy]

When i run it on my computer, it uses 98% on the first core, so it is obviously the sleep problem.

So it might also be a problem of minetest? No matter if I have a viewrange of 5 or 1337, my 1-core-CPU is working hard all the time :/

EDIT: just noticed, I'm about to get in an offtopic discussion again :/
