Another thing,i cant i find a tutoriial how to import ndf files into GM,i looked at the thread but i cant make it.HELP

After a long time, I've updated the Building Constructor. See the first post for link and changes.

[justin123]

I got an error:

Trying to get Texure from non-existing sprite

Can you fix that ?

[L4nt0m]

I got a pm from somebody a few days ago regarding the same problem. The solution is to make in the folder where the BuildingConstructor is, a folder called 'textures', and put the textures you want to use in the BuildingConstructor in that newly created folder. Now load the images in the BuildingConstructor out of that folder, then it should work! :-)

This is awesome. But you should be able to re-select shapes that you already did, and edit them.

[L4nt0m]

reselecting is done by the page up/page down buttons.

[abacus]

Ahhh, thank you. But mouse selection would be nice too. I don't like how much keyboard stuff there is, i like just mouse stuff. Maybe add some buttons for shapes instead of the show_menu?

[L4nt0m]

I made major update, check out the first post for the changes!

[Darksoul]

woow this is seorisly cool thanx for sharing it with us

[kickassgames]

Awesome program man i'm definitaly using it in my game and giving you a lot of credit

[kickassgames]

Could you possibly put up an example of how to import the buildings into the game?? please and yea it's easy to use and very good and professional looking

Edit: Hey did someone hack me account or something err now i have to change me password again so just to let you know that post above isn't mine!!

The models output by this program can be loaded in your own game with the d3d_model_load-functions of game maker.

UPDATE: recompiled the program in GM7 so it's vista compatible (version number stayed the same though)

Cool, but hard to use!

[samushi]

This is awesome !

this would be good if it wouldn't consist of default blocks, spheres... but of primitive-built - like my editor for rfx engine..

[L4nt0m]

@them4n!ac: With this program I focus on making modelling as easy as possible. If you want to work with primitives etc, it becomes way more complex and thus I wouldn't achieve my goal.

ps.: if you meant with primitive built that I used the standard d3d_draw_block etc, then you're wrong: all objects are made out of primitives.

that was really what i expected - so you could easier make more primitives like plane, wall - very useful, and - one good thing which makes modeler still easy but adds more options to the advanced users - vertex moving...
i'll tell you about it - many games use BSP(binary space partitioning) - type maps (Half-life, Unreal and their mods) - and editors in their maps are as simple as yours but... they use: 1) CSG(constructive solid geometry) 2)compiling system to remove never seen faces 3)vertex moving and primitives for creating maps
point 1 and 2 are very hard to make but the third one is very good!
and - if you already have vertex moving and i haven't seen it - then well done!

[L4nt0m]

I do know how bsp mapping works (I've made some maps for quake2) and yes, I agree that's very easy. But I don't have vertex moving at the moment. Maybe I will integrate some 'wireframe editing' in some future version, but that would require a complete rewrite of the program. So maybe if I have a lot of time, I'll make that feature

[them4n!ac]

that shouldn't take much rewrite if you are now using d3d_primitives and an object for each face.. but if you're not registering all vertices and faces then you will have to work a lot! btw - i've made maps for counter-strike - almost the same as quake (half-life's GoldSrc engine was almost completely rewritten quake engine if i remember correctly)
