Latest version is always at the top.

Or do you mean the HRP, that can be downloaded here.

I like the new addition to Mapster.


For those that don't know what they are looking at, it's E1L1 but in a angled view.

Can I haz textures with that?

If you want to view the level in all its glory, just use the full 3D mode.

[Hendricks266]

I bow before Helixhorned. This reminds me of some stuff Ken has on his site about trying to upgrade BUILD and write Polymost.

If you want textures, I believe you can use the Polymer renderer and clip outside the map.

[Plagman]

It would still have perspective, though; this is an orthogonal projection, way easier to edit. I always wanted to replace 2D mode with an orthogonal view like that; it wouldn't be too hard to make the transition between 2D and 3D mode seamless that way, but I always give up after I take a look at the editor code..

Isometric view! Sweet!

[Micky C]

It's not just isometric, you can rotate it.

Is it just me or are people unable to edit anything in this mode? Although I'm aware that this feature is still in its early stages and has much potential for the future as it becomes more complex.

That thing is so useful for so many reasons. I made my avatar with an external render in mapster

[Piano Man]

Interesting question... Now that you can start looking at it in different angles in 2D mode... Is it possible to start editing and building sectors along a different axis for once??? Instead of building sectors on one axis???

Would it be possible to start building truly 3D maps???

[Micky C]

If by truly 3D maps you mean ROR then yes it is potentially possible. Polymer is already capable of rendering such scenes with a single pass but I recall helixhorned and plagman conferring about what changes to the editor would be necessary. This is probably one of the stepping stones on the way to being able to edit ROR in 2D mode, but there's still a fair way to go with kinks to iron out.

Hi everbody!

Is there a donwloadable Polymer version, or is only available for delopers?

Thanks for everything folks!

Although you deserve being called a lazy noob for not finding the solution on this very page, I'd suggest DT to edit the top posting of this thread and add an obvious download link.

Thanks for the information.

I downloaded eduke with that links this morning , specifically I downloaded the .zip file, but what I get was a eduke.exe version without the polymer light effects. Do I have to download the bz2 file and compile it to get eduke + polymer?

[High Treason]

You have to tick the Polymer box when EDuke32 first starts, though if your system is not powerful enough it will switch itself back to Polymost when the game starts up.

I my good! It's true! Thank you!

[LeoD]

Most effects only work with patched maps, sprites/models, and textures. You will need the PolymerHRP.
But you can tell if polymer works for you without that:

I'm on Windows 7 64. If I tab-out and tab-back to mapster, it crashes.

ive mentioned this but they think iam crazy and talking shit

Yes, for the time being various editing keys are disabled in side-view mode. The problem here is that it would be potentially confusing since you need to map a (x, y) mouse position to a position in 3D space. I intend to disambiguate the controls by having the middle mouse button have a special function: for example, when dragging a sprite, without MMB it's drag in BUILD (x, y) plane and with MMB, in the plane that corresponds to the screen.

I'm not sure what you mean by "building on different axes" but there are no new inherent capabilities -- all you can do with the new mode you also could do before. The main goal is simply convenience for architecture that spreads wide in the z direction, for spritework, and the like.

A crashlog would help .

edit: Shift-A/Z tilts the side-view up and down. Forgot to mention that in the commit message...

[Roma Loom]

Alt-tabbing mapster32 or windowed eduke32 always make them go into infinite not-responding for me, and it was like for ages.
Also few vidrestarts make mapster and eduke crash which is really annoying since I need to vidrestart to compare classic and polymer textures. The crashlog of eduke32_debug executable is something like this:

It looks like it's crashing inside the ATI GL driver?

I have been working with it a lot of time (I mean, high resolution pack).

Unfortunatelly, the game crashes when the process of the textures is terminated. I can see a first screen of the game inside the map, then it crashes.
Here is one of the logs:

Could be a hardware problem? I mean, my computer is not able to handle polymer...

Thanks!

Use the latest build from there, reproduce the crash with the eduke32.debug.exe, and attach the generated eduke32.crashlog.

I'm pretty sure same thing happens at the office on GF9600GT, but I will check this out soon to be sure. Also I've re-played doom3 recently in windowed mode, alt-tabbing here and there and everything was ok.

[MusicallyInspired]

So how do you activate orthogonal view mode?

EDIT: n/m, how can you change angles?

edit... press w. that looks really good!!


OK this is sick. these few minutes i have been editing my mountain map. ive always wanted the walls to be perfectly sloped. but without 3d editing i did not have the possibility. but with this ive already fixed it so it looks decent o.O

I think it's "Q"
