Building a resources and level editor #17

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Hello,

I keep thinking about building modding tools for Rise of the Triad that could help make the game more versatile and popular.

I've started to make some experiments a while ago.

Would this idea fit in the rottexpr project?

LTCHIPS commented 5 years ago

I'd have no objections against such a thing, but wouldn't it make more sense to spin that idea into a project of its own?

If I remember right, the creator of the WINROTT project made his own level editor, but he hasn't updated it in a very long time. It also seems to be only available on windows.

As for resources (or WADs), there's a program called SLADE that can open WADs. Its primarily used for DOOM, but it can also open ROTT's WAD files. I'm not sure if that one is multi platform either, but may be worth looking into.

SLADE is cross-platform, but it doesn't have a ROTT level editor (only a Doom level editor).

I agree that a level editor should remain a third-party effort still.
