YES!!! As long as it can run in Linux too.

(that wasn't too subtle, was it? ;-) )

YES!!!
is a big idea!!!

I will make it in c++ and irrlicht

DUH! And great idea; I suck at 3D modeling.

perfect, can be compiled for both Linux and Windows ...
although I only use linux, install wine would be able to run ... XD

would be great to implement the code to create objects by multiple nodes ?...
I suggest you lot, I'm sorry I'm a beggar

Do you mean being able to node edit two nodes at once?

If so, maybe v2

+1
Would be great

He means having more than one box to use at a time.

That would be perfect!
although to see them together to have a visual reference is enough ...
:D

Someone has already started this, oh well

damn ... I just saw ...
Well, you can always work, or do a project in parallel ...
tkerwel also draft, says it will only be for windows ...
if this created c + + and irrlich in teoriaseria easier to compile on linux with cmake ...

tkerwel aims to create a generator boxes, inside only "fixed" code ...
You could support the creation of the entire node, or even to save all nodes in a single file lua

or even implement the code necessary for minetest place and remove nodes in an object that is made by more than one node, (like doors), so it goes without lua programming skills to create objects of various sections. .. or even to add interactivity ... as in my toilet that opens and closes the lid ...

I'm thinking of an editor designed for everyone, not just for programmers ...

anyway, two heads are better than one ...

I have started work on this, and a predict a month to completion

I like it!

I have stopped working on this

Why? Can you at least show us how to build it? I'm having issues with that.

It does not work yet, and so there is no point building it.

If you are interested, just build it using a c++ compiler, you need to give it a link to irrlicht library and includes.

For cmake, you would have to create the settings your self

I see... I tried to compile it, but failed.

I cant help unless you give me details.

What OS do you use?

How does it fail when compiling?

What I meant was: I have no idea what flags to send to the compiler.

Kaeza and I are talking about it on irc (log)

I have restarted this project.

Added fix to compile on Linux (it used apparently Windows-only functions for wide chars) and added CMakeLists.txt and plain Makefile.
Rubenwardy, please merge: https://github.com/rubenwardy/The-NodeBox-Generator/pull/1

Awesome! :DD

Can't wait until this is done! :D

Added teaser shot to first post

Awesome!
Are we able to move the view our selves or is it set views
Also can we make complex node boxes?
Sorry for all the questions and keep up the good work.

This should be inported on to minetest ruben when you get, working on v2 but so when we download it?

The top left view is perspective and movable using the arrow keys. (you can pivot around it, camera is always facing (0,0,0))

The other views are fixed.

Can you texture them from this?

Not yet, it is not finished.
