Check if the editor can be included with the next release

[hiker]

Since the editor uses stk-assets, it won't be a significant bigger download (approx. 5 MB in an additional assets directory, 3 MB in icons etc, plus code and library). But it would expose a lot more users to the editor.

On linux, the editor should be packaged seperatly but installed with game. This way it would also be possible to update the editor without re-downloading STK.

[hiker]

This is only for our binaries and installer.

I have committed scripts to automatically generate assets XML and screenshots. I have committed the output to SVN and tested it to work

One thing I've noticed, object scales seem a little weird, maybe the editor does not handle scaled library objects well? (in the sense of inconsistent scales, for instance the Suzanne model was very small whereas the bamboo lamp was huge)

[hiker]

It's included with windows now, it needs to be checked for osx ( @auriamg ) and linux ( @deveee ).

@hiker I downloaded mcsab fork of irrlicht, patched it to make it working with mesa 10 and I was able to compile stk-editor.

But I still can't run it. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or that's a bug in code because in README I see only few words about "editor" directory and anything more. At this moment I get segfault on startup.

I created a ticket: https://github.com/mcsab/stk-editor/issues/19

Edit: After changing one line in code I was able to run it.

Btw. maybe we sould add this repo on supertuxkart github, perhaps create better build system etc. ?

[hiker]

Added, and write permission given ;)

[hiker]

@deveee or @mcsab could you update our with the latest changes for the editor? @auriamg what about osx?

[deveee]

I fixed crash on startup and did some work on cmake support. Now irrlicht is statically linked in the same way as in STK. I just need to add physfs library to package and it should work.

osx needs some work in cmake files because I don't have computer where I could check it.

Recently we dropped support for old tracks. Stk-editor creates tracks in version 5. If we want to include editor in upcoming STK version, we should allow to run tracks which were created in editor.

As a very ugly workaround, we can bump stk-editor exporter version to 6. Tracks created in editor still look good enough.

Btw. in stk-assets repo we don't have editor/maps directory. It is necessary to save files. I fixed it in this commit: https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-editor/commit/7e7aa9a86b1aacf4a340f9554847e2cea87f03b6

[deveee]

Editor updated to version 6 in this commit: https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-editor/commit/d7a12818dfb13f8dfbfbbb212d7bf2d5c12f9dee

[deveee]

We already have the editor included since two stable releases. I'm closing this.
