• Custom Scene Editor WIP • Grid, Snap-To-Grid, Zoom, Multi-Select

Loaded

Added
• csv export:
- Exports actors' x, y, width, height, and rotation

You're a bloody legend @Manto1 !!!

You can have my money for sure now

Manto

How about an import so after you've exported, if you then change the values, reimport, it moves to the new values? Or just be able to see like a live preview of the csv that you could change on the fly without needing to export … that would be super useful

@beefy_clyro
Can you explain what you would use it for? Do you just need a way to see all actor attributes (position, size, rotation) at the same time?

@Loaded Thanks!

beefy_clyro

Yeh just being able to see all actors attributes in a list, or by layers etc. Just a way of being able to line up and space actors out evenly very quickly

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread, but is there any sort of support forum for the CSE full version? http://www.mantuapps.com doesn't seem to have been updated much recently.

I bought this utility and it is very convenient, but I've had a couple of issues and also can't seem to figure out how to access some of the features I've seen in the videos. Just wondering where I can get some support for it.

@robotron1963 Hey, please email me about the issues you're having. My email is juha.eskonen@dnainternet.net.

Is this still a viable project? The last comments and demo are from 2013. We could still use these features...

ookami007

Actually, I would love to know if it's viable too. I know this is an old thread, but if it still works, I could have some use for it.

@Agent Argyle @ookami007

There is a link in @Manto s signature to his website.
You can download a free version of the scene editor and try if it still works.

EDIT: I tested the free version, and it works fine. But it seems that the free version has very limited features.

Manto

@Agent Argyle @ookami007

Thanks for your interest.

Yes, the tool still works and is updated when needed (e.g. when GameSalad changes the file structures).

There is also a new version coming soon, which will come as a free upgrade.

i see you found it

francis.charland@videotron.ca

I talked about this tool in a Meetup and the GS team does'nt seems to know it exist.... A full support with the engine would be Awesome. I had no issue so far using it in complement with GS but I'm still scared that stuff in my game could be broken up because of the external editing via this app...

pjburnhill

W.O.W. @Manto !!

After asking about supporting level editors for GS @Socks pointed me to this thread... Read the whole thread and WOW.

I know people have been mentioning this many times, but excellent work! And from a fellow Finn too

Are you still developing this? I'm planning on making an isometric tile-driven game - how would this work with that kind of layout?

Again, flippin' awesome work!

Cheers,
PJ Palomaki

p.s. I tried the free version and it lists the projects and scenes fine but when I select a scene, none of the graphics are shown. All actors are in their correct position, scale and rotation but are just filled white boxes rather than their graphics. I'm on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). (This is a screenshot from the Big Top Blaster game in GS, background hidden - screenshot)

Love it! Looks awesome! You should just make your own engine lol

It looks like that currently the graphics are not loaded correctly in the free version, but the paid version works just fine.

Thanks! Haha. It's a bit more work, though

@Manto Thank you so much for you creation.

Question, in your program Level Editor, is there a way to scroll left and right if your scene width is huge?

Nice to hear the editor is still useful.

You can move the view by pressing and holding spacebar and clicking and dragging.
