Well, after watching the list for a while and watching many unsucessful attempts to find a descent world editor for Circle, I have decided to try and remedy this problem. Hopefully in a week or so, I will release version 0.0Beta of W_EDIT a text based world editor for Circle3.0. Here are the basic capabilities of 0.0Beta: DOS only, sorry guys. Unix versions may be availible later, if I can get around some memory allocation problems. Three display modes. One mode shows a world map, one shows room descriptions alond with extra descriptions, the last is a walk-through mode that allows you to see the world as it would look at load time. A draw mode. This mode allows you to layout your world graphically. Unfortunately there are some limitations to 0.0Beta they are: Allows only a single zone to be loaded -- multi zones will come later. Does not support ascii map to world file conversions -- yet. May support Circle3.0 world file imports. Requires a cell based world. (World must be layed out on a grid, no overlaps) Doesn't allow to set a mob to load in a room at load time -- this will definately come later. Well, this is a basic overview of W_EDIT. Give me your feed back. The more intrest shown in this program, the harder I will work to make it a full fledged editor. (ie ascii-map imports, mob editor, zone editor, etc.) Let me know what you think, also any ideas (within reason) will be considered. I will also keep a list of those who reply and show intrest in this project. When I release it, I will e-mail these people a copy.
