yesterday, I started to program a totally new version of my MDK graphical surfaces tools. It is not just a bit of improving, everything is new.
What you can see here is a design study. I originally programmed the tools because I'm too lazy for console commands. Now I even got too lazy to work with my own tools. So I sat down and thought how to improve them.
That's the result (map compiler):
- It's now just 1 program with 4 tabs, instead of 4 small programs
-> less switching needed, faster workflow, takes less space in the task bar
- You don't have to type in the mod and map names anymore - you can select them
-> even lazier people will love the tool, you don't your keyboard at all now
- less buttons, radio buttons replace them
-> clearer appearance
- Run map function
-> you don't have to start Ca3DE and then select the map to play it
-------------------------------
As I said, that are my ideas, I don't know if I can get them all to work, but I will try to! Maybe I'll even integrate new programs, shader writers(if I become pro
)! Comments&Critics are welcome!I'll keep you up to date!
