As much as I see, Mapster is continousely "under developement".
Is there already a forum / subforum / thread where suggestions, wishes and to-dos of the community are coleected?
________________________________________________________
Edit:
I have put the wishlist here and will from time to time "update" it, so the list itself will always be in the first page of the thread.
Each wish starts with the name of the "author" in brackets.
Obsolete wishes (fullfilled or nor longer supported) will be colored red, wishes that may become obsolete are blue.
- (Bb) When starting a new wall and set the first vertex, it "snaps" to the nearest grid point. It would, however, be very practical to have it snapping to the nearest existing vertex of another sector, so you could more easily divide sectors or add new sectors to the side of existing ones, which is a relatively common task when mapping. As the older sector often was build with another grid solution (or possibly out of grid at all), having a "vertex snap" would be very versatile. Best way to implement it would probably be with another key combination, e. g. Space sets a new vertex at the nearest grid point, Shift + Space sets a new vertex at the nearest existing vertex.
Note: read post 4 to 10 for clarification. - (Micky C) I'd also find it very useful if there were a way to delete vertices without having to collapse them. I'm sure there are a few checks involved with this to make sure that it's done safely, but even if it was restricted to use in expertmode, that'd be a help.
- (Bb) Why not adding more shapes than the "Semicircle" that was already included in Build.exe? A true Polygon (without the first point out of place) comes to mind naturally. Others would perhaps be rounded rectangles?
- (Bb) Probably that's just me, but perhaps there could be a kind of "compatibility filter", so that you can define that a project should be compatible to the original DN3D, or to Polymer, or whatever, and Mapster automatically restricts the features (sewctor count etc.) to keep it compatible.
- (Bb) Set vertices with a mouse click (what you do now with the Space bar).
- (Bb) Use a modern GUI with menu bar, icons, context menues etc.
- (Bb) Art files directly accessable and editable from Mapster.
- (Bb) I don't know if this is an idea or rather a bug report, but at least on my system, the Mapster window is "focus-hungry", if I may tell it this. It can't be minimzed, it can't be moved away from the screen's center, and to go to another application, I have to use the Windows key. This is very annoying. (may be solved)
