KAG Map Editor Developement

Alright my little ones you can be expecting a beta version tomorrow. Keep in mind the following things:

1) It will not be in a finished state nor near completion.
2) Functions that appear like they should work probably will not.
3) Report any bugs or things you think should be changed.
4) Tell me how much you like it.
5) Have fun making maps!

releasing it this weekend hinged on whether or not I could get this working:


It's the launcher/updater for the map editor. :p

Edit: instead of flooding me with likes some one should reply so that I can make a post tomorrow and you all will be notified with the dl link :P

 

THE LONG AWAITED KAG MAP EDITOR..​

IS HERE!​

​

First off thank you all for the support and such! This has been a great learning experience for me and a lot of work, effort and time. I'm glad I've finished it though and I have delivered what we've all wanted!​

Second it isn't finished yet so please report bugs and things you would like added or changed(this doesn't mean they will be changed or added necessarily, more of a suggestion) However fear not I spent many hours creating working on an launcher/updater that will display changelogs and splash screens whatever and all that fancy stuff as well as download the necessary resources. So before you download it I have a few instructions:​

​

1) Download Kag Map Editor.zip to the desired location and unzip it.​

a) download it where ever (this will download everything to that folder for the editor to run.​

b) put the contents of the kag map editor folder into the kag root folder including the KMEResources.​

Do this if you don't want the updater to spend time downloading resources that can be found in the kag folder.​

​

2) Run launcher.exe this may take a second or 2 display (it has to download updatesplash.txt in order to show you the news a cool pictures whatever)​

​

3) click forceupdate or start either one may take upwards of 30 seconds depending on your internet speed to download all the resources and binaries for the editor.​

​

4) when it finishes downloading it will start the editor click "edit map" the new map function hasn't been implemented yet.​

​

5) type the exact path of your map starting from the root directory of wherever the editor.exe is. e.g) "Base/Maps/duel.png"​

​

6) edit the hell out of your map​

​

7) save - or saveas that's kind of self explanatory!​

​

8) have fun!​

​

Here is the download link for the launcher: launcher​

​

In the case that you guys like my editor so much that you download it 3 trillion times and break my bandwidth limit on dropbox then you will all need to redownload a launcher that will be set to a static address opposed to dropbox.​

​

IF YOU HAVE A MONITOR THAT CAN'T SUPPORT 1024X768
Open the file in the root directory called "settings.txt" put a "|" through "wsize(width[1024] height[768])" then make your own wsize with the proper width and height or a un comment one of the existing ones.

​

 

Hmm that's really unfortunate, I might have an idea of what's causing it but I'm not sure. I'll see if I can fix it. Try running the program as an administrator. Or with compatibility turned on.

 

o_o oh my. May I know if you're running this on like windows 7 or another windows os or if you're running this through wine. I'm hoping to get the linux port out some time this week, but we will see.

I'm sorry that didn't help I'll continue to look into that.

 

I have a bad feeling that dropbox is failing. try going into version txt and checking the contents and version number. It should be version(1.1) if it is manually get the link from the file for the binary and put into the kag root directory. Try running it from there.

 

It works pretty much fine for me, but there's a few things to consider for the next update.

One thing is that when your cursor leaves the application, the box for placing blocks remains, so that if you click to change blocks, it will place a block in midair, or wherever you left it.
Also, you should explain the controls better. I didn't realize that you use WASD to move around the map.

Great work anyways.
