Feature requests?
I'm planning which features to add for next version of ZGameEditor.
If there is something important you think is missing in the current version of ZGameEditor then post a feature request here, thanks!

Hi! sorry for my poor english)))) 
it will be cool to impliment the features to import meshes in format 3ds with multitextures applied, or having some feature like lights or lightsmaps (baked), i like to see collisions with players and walls (like in doom)
I am a russia architect, i like your program to make the interactive demos with some intriors:-))))))))))))

You asked for itVilleK wrote:Any more requests? If there is a feature you want then please ask about it here
It would be great, if Materials had a clamp checkbox, which will control wether a texure is mirrored, tiled or clamped
Also It would be nice, if Materials would have something for animations like zoom/rotate for bitmaps(see my first post here).
So you can define different Materials with same texture. AFAIK you could do this by using the texture-matrix in opengl. Its a powerful tool to create highly dynamic scenes.

Peter

right mouse click annoyance..
A small feature:
At the moment you have to click on a treenode first with left MB to activate and then with right MB for context menu.
It would be nice, if you can just press right MB and the appropriate node will be activated and context-menu is displayed.
This is like Windows Explorer is working..

PS I Like this tool!!

Correct me if i am wrong, but i think so far ZGame Editor doesn't support imported animation data (from 3ds file) so if i want to animated my model, i must do that directly in ZGame Editor. I thinks is would be great if there any chance to directly import texture and mesh with animation data (maybe we can using directX .X file format or Quake MDL/MD2 format). Thanks anyway.
First of all, i'm italian so sorry for mistakes and mispellings
some features that would make collision very nice:
first of all, collision should be 3-dimensional... I know u are going to shut me up
but your engine should be able to take care of z position of objects.
plus i think that a spherical collision is a must... and an ellipsoid collision would be great... but i don't know how collisions works.... so i wonder if u just do need something like distance algorithms or anything else.
a spherical one is quite simple, and would use only 1 input box for radius, while an ellipsoid requires 3 axes... but 3 input for rect + 3 for ellips = 6 input boxes
what about using a textbox (eg using negative integer values) or _something_else_ as a flag for collision type ?

hi! it's me again xD
just 2 advices:
first of all i think we do really need something like Arrays... it was said somewhere in others posts... and matrix would be far better anyway
(i'm working on a NICE breakout clone and i'm suffering the lack of such data structures...) and after u have implemented arrays also having strings entered during the game would be "easy" to implement.
Second... about net gaming... will you be able to do something like treat the connections as a stream? (or if u prefer like a "file", actually i don't know if ZGE is written in C, C++, ASM, LISP or whatever else). the connection should just do something like generate an event when something (read "an array" of chars) is on the stream.... u should be able to get something like this working with standard libraries... the rest is left to the game programmer!
One last question: will it ever be possible to write part of C code and have them included in a created game?
Bye bye!!!

1. Arrays. I agree that this is very much needed . I was thinking about rewriting the scripting to support many more language features such as arrays, local variables, loops etc. But this will take a long time. Maybe I will find a way to make arrays separately.
About making a breakout-clone: the only feature that makes defining levels of bricks easier would be to use the File-component (see the FileDemo-project for reading level data from a file).
You say you need a matrix also, do you mean a matrix for doing 3d-calculations like a OpenGL matrix?
2. Networking. I haven't thought much about this yet, but you have a good suggestion. Even network components with a primitive interface can be useful for people that are used to network development.
3. Call native C-code. The way I see this possible is by supporting calls to native libraries (dll). This would be useful for interfacing with external libraries such as musicplayers and physics. I want to support this feature as part of the "big scripting language rewrite" (see 1).
Also, please post a screenshot of your breakout-clone when it is finished! Knowing that ZGE is useful for people is good for my motivation

my idea of matrix is just a multi-dimensional Array like
char Array[20][20];
or
char Array[20][20][20];
>> About making a breakout-clone: the only feature that makes defining levels of bricks easier would be to use the File-component (see the FileDemo-project for reading level data from a file).
I told u it's a _nice_ version of breakout... i'm gonna add some "features"
i'll see if i will be able to use only collisions for what i've in my mind..
One last: what about opening a new part of the forum dedicated to works that people make with ZGE? i'll be there to post something every day if i just had not to study so hard (i'm in a college) :/ i'm gonna be an engineer within 3 years
hope to get a new version from u within the end of the year
