[Development] YiasEdit - A 3.X Mapeditor

[Cromon]

Heya, some new UI-features are ready! You see the chatbox in the left corner. There we find debuginfos that are outputed by the application or just informativ stuff. Every panel with information (like the "Terrain"-panel) will allow you to click on the text with the information and then you see a line in the chatbox how you can change that information.

Just downloaded this about 3 hours ago, and i love it. im having a few problems though, sometimes while im rotating the camera (right mouse button) everything goes black and it doesnt seem there is a way to fix it, and also is this only client side? like would there be any way to modify a place and then upload it into your private server? sorry im new to all this but learning fast, keep up the good work +rep when i can lol

[Cromon]

Hey!

Im not sure, but i guess i made the "Home"-Key to return the camera to the entry point.

Its strictly clientside for the display in the game. so everyone needs the patch.

Greetings

Because a lot of people told me that its very hard to select a proper location where to enter the world i reworked the minimap in the beginning of the application. Its now a lot more dynamic as you can see and has very improved quality:

This is a wonderful program, i just wonder, when will be released the new version? i actually have Windows wista running on my pc and it simply crashes on start
i tried it on another computer, i have made a new ADT file (Kalimdor _1_1, the GM island) doing some simple editing (i added some WMO buildings and changed the heigmap, since i don't understand clearly how works the texturing), i have putted that .adt file in a file called Patch-3.mpq, and it crashed, because it was encrypted (bad options in the compressor) i fixed it and now it simply ignores the file, i tried to put it inside Patch-7.mpq (an original file) and nothing

any suggestion about this?

PS: will be great to allow the user to edit the .adt directly from the Heigtmap (such as TES construction set), should make the general work easier
PS2: another little ting, a concern about seeing only one .adt at time, if i want to create a mountain range spreaded on many .adt, how i can make them match?

anyway great job!

Well I've practically read this whole thread. Where would I download the plugins.

@sirfranc: DirectX will have more then 1 adt at once loaded!

At the moment im implementing the changes of the terrain. I added a commandline which provides you the possibility to query information or interact with the program. Here is a video:

When will the program realase? its really cool...a lot of changes..

[Cromon]

Dunno, ill make the basic features of the terrain and then a first beta. After that models need a rework to be load faster. Also WMO need a better frustum culling cause big wmos like dungeons use massive ressources. Maybe this can be split down to wmogroups to keep the drawcalls very low (at the moment im pretty near to WoW). Framerate is as in WoW also with models (if you are in the same perspective as you are in WoW) which is because of VSync either 30 or 60 FPS.

As a new feature it allows now also editing some DBC-files. An example can be watched in the following video. The DBC is created as .dbc not as a format that has to be converted first. Just put it into the patch as it gets out of the program, thats all.

Holy crap, that's awesome. Sure, Taliis exists, but it's easier to identify with the actual 3D, textured terrain to set area id's. I have high hopes for YiasEdit

Newtech, I'm getting very annoyed with you.. You comment on posts before reading the replies (And I tried translator, it didn't solve my problem.. I got help from Cromon moments after.. this was 2 months ago)
Your idiotic replies, and your 'I'm Better then everyone else' feel to you..

I can see that you like using the words 'Fail, Noob' and some other words of pure idiocy, Honestly, come back here when you've matured.. I can make a list of people that probably want you and your big mouth gone.

Try asking us in the shoutbox at the top of the forum. Nearly everybody of us speak english and I'm pretty sure you will get some help. And by the way Cromon writes at the end of that topic on yias

Some important infos:
- ADTs from northend should not be saved, they dont work yet! Sometimes they crash while loading.
- Be patient if you face errors and post them here!
- There are some errors with shadows!
- Password is hidden above. Write an answer to the thread or search for "Für dieses Thema bedanken".

- Take a look at the Picture below.

I guess that should help.

There is an interesting new feature ive implemented in the last ~30 minutes. Its calculating the WDL new from the changes you made to the area. The WDL contain low resolution hightmaps which are displayed in the background when you are far away from the area. Let me show you 2 videos to compare:

Without new generation of the WDL (like noggit or the old version of YiasEdit)
