Paid Map Maker Opportunity

[Far]

the map editor is really disappointing, just piecing together objects it's crashed 3 times in the space of 20 minutes

try using the original one on the main github. If you're using the Akaras mod it's possibly introduced some issues.

I've seen 100's of maps created with the crystal editor, and apart from being rough around the edges and having a really poor UI, it works as a perfectly acceptable editor.

The one on your github also crashes, allbeit not as often but often enough to make me still use shorty's editor and just use crystals one for light tweaks

I suppose it lives up to its name, "Editor" as that is all it can be used for, making maps from ground up with it you're looking for a headache

Yeh. its un-usable unfortuantly. I can't find the source code for the version im using either. I don't think the one on github is the up to date.

I have an issue, were even just looking for an object to place on a map (because of the bad UI, you have to click into each object individually), it crashes 6-7 times before I've even found the right object, and that's with clicking free memory after looking at each object.



edit - just seen fars comment, i'll checkout the github version.


@Valhalla do you have a link for a client that will work with shortys editor, obviously the crystal one doesnt, need an older client to load the objects.

You're never going to get another crystal map editor unfortunately, so best to work around the issues or fix them.

I did build the zircon map editor from scratch though and that's a dream to use - so if you're using mir3 maps in your server i'd recommend using that to create them.

Is the source for the zircon map editor anywhere? or only the standalone. I might be interested in getting mir2 tiles working with it

No I'm not releasing the map editor source sorry, so it'll only work with mir3 objects

Wish someone would just write support for the tiled map format https://www.mapeditor.org/
Maybe this would help solve map problems and we wouldn't need to keep designing editors

Wouldn't they also have to remake all of the tile sets for use within Tiled?
And also remake the maps within Tiled.

I think what we need to do to fix it is not load all the objects into memory (which is what it does right? )

Need to only load the folder you have selected, and just some UI tweaks and it would probabaly be fine.

I dont think the "Free Memory" button actually does anything, clicking it with task manager open shows no resources being released
