Forum :: Lounge :: Easier Eomap [Idea]

Hello Eoserv Community, I am here to express some of my ideas and opinions about Eomap, the map builder. Firstly I would like to say that EoMap is a perfect EO map making program and very well desgined, butIthink it can get better and easier for people. How can it get it easier?

• Instead of Down and Right Walls, why not Houses already built for you? Where you would just place it.
• Add the NPC's Tab, just like the Exile's map editor.
• You are making a map, and you notice it's too big. a Resize option would be great.
• "also, when you add a object or a down/right wall it auto add a Special: Wall, it would be good!" (DoughIdea)
• " Another idea which would be great is to add memory. What I mean by that is so you can go through the tabs without scrolling back to the spot you were at.mif you don't understand what I'm saying it's in exiles 3.5r8." (Ronnie's idea)

I agree, it even gives me some lazyness. I think "Oh I think I will map, *Done Ground, Objects* oh no... walls. Dammit!" lol

It would be awesome if Sausage or Exile coded this. It would be a super release.

You can already resize maps through the map properties.

I don't really understand dough's idea.

I have to disagree with the idea to have the d/r walls pre put together since that defeats the purpose of most of the mappers creativity when we mix and match walls.

I agree with the npc tab idea, I love that feature about exiles 3.5r8

Another idea which would be great is to add memory. What I mean by that is so you can go through the tabs without scrolling back to the spot you were at.mif you don't understand what I'm saying it's in exiles 3.5r8. Kinda hard to explain xd

Again with the minuses for no apparent reason at all.

What Sineth means is that, when you add a object it already appears the wall together with, so you don't need to manually add it. About that disagree, it's ok that may be bad for pro mappers so let's change the idea what about this:

Add One Tab "Houses" and continue with the down and right wall tab, so it's better for both style of people, beginner and Expert.

Ah Inow that I understand it you have to develop that idea some more. What happens if you want the object to be a warp, chair, or other specials instead of a wall.

 Also message exile since he's creating the second version of his map editor as we speak so tell him your ideas. He might not see this topic

It could make a option that when you place object it appears a window saying "Do you wish to add the wall already. Yes or No"

EDIT: Sent him a PM

All of these ideas are great and I would love to see someone that has the talent to implement it in.

As was already mentioned, exile will be releasing a new version of his editor with pretty much all of these extra features you've mentioned plus a lot of bugfixes.
He's not working on it yet though. It will only be worked on when he has reached an acceptable milestone in the progress of his custom client for myself and other future admins of his new game to work on maps.
The new revision of the map editor WILL come, but i wouldnt hold my breath for it. As it will be quite a while before its going to be released.
