DeleD Community Edition

[banshee777]

Hello people

I've been searching for an editor to make a game. This one seems perfect for it. But i can't understand the map format. Seems so complex. I've used triangles rendering before, quads rendering and used this format freeworld map editor's. But that editor is lacks features.

I hope i can get this fileformat working on my engine. Seems like a cool editor.
I want to create kinda like castle or something and walk around with textures and lightmaps.

31138874 is my ICQ if u would like to get incontact.

The dmf is easy to parse, and the documentation for it is in the help file.

If you don't understand how to take a bunch of vertices and face definitions and render them in OpenGL, I suggest you read through the Red Book (online) and then maybe the Nehe Tutorials.

Did you read the Deled help file?

[banshee777]

[Daaark]

Ah, ok.. then why didn't you say that.

Select your model, and triangulate it.. I forget if there is a funtion to that, or if it's only there when you lightmap your level.

[Paul-Jan]

Yes, DeleD has a function for that

You can also do the triangulation yourself (all polygons should be convex, so they are really easy to triangulate in numerous ways), or use glBegin(GL_POLYGON) if you don't mind a little loss of speed.

[banshee777]

[Daaark]

You are betetr off using Triangles. The quads just get broken down into triangles internally anyways. And all the info you need is in the dmf files. Just write a parser NOW and skip all that hard work you seem to be doing for nothing.

[banshee777]

Whats a paser?

[banshee777]

[Daaark]

A parser... to read your dmf files, and exract the info you want from them.

*cough* x file format and non-sharing of uv coordinates per vertex */cough*
