IMPORTANT NOTE:

This is currently a WIP, it's not intended to be used yet. If you want to mess around go ahead, but expect crashes and bugs. It's not recommended to start any project yet, but if you still want to set up a server and try it out you need to follow the steps in the next section. Public releases will have the compiled UI available for download.

Developer set-up

• Install nodejs.
• Install yarn.
• Place the UI compiler (vuicc.exe) in .../Server/Admin/ folder.
• Download MapEditor files and place them in .../Server/Admin/Mods. Path should look like .../Server/Admin/Mods/MapEditor.
• Add mapeditor to your modlist.txt file.
• Open cmd, cd to .../Server/Admin/Mods/MapEditor/WebUI and run yarn.
• After all the dependencies are installed run yarn build.

Mod Dependencies

MapEditor requires other mods to work fully:

• NoHavok. (Not publicly available yet). This mod transforms Havok objects into Frosbite objects, allowing their manipulation. MapEditor works without this mod, but not all vanilla objects will be available for editing.

Running saves for playing

If your project is ready to be used for playing, export your project's save from MapEditor and load it with MapLoader. The save can be loaded from an external mod (you can find an example here: CustomLevel) or MapLoader can be modified to include and load the save.

Used libraries and tools

This project is using:

• Three.js as the rendering foundation.
• Vue.js
• Vue GoldenLayout
