Map Editor Suggestions

[Shock]

When you're using BGtext or Text, it is uncomfortable to make custom tiles because the trigger mark prevents you, look at that:





I would like to at least recommend adding:

Far background wall tile with text color palette + one pixel tile with same options
Background wall tile with text color palette + one pixel tile with same options
Foreground wall tile with text color palette + one pixel tile with same options

Or same tiles structure as placeholders, but with RGB color palette

So, this will allow you to choose any color from RGB palette and you can make different locations or custom objects.



Notice: This could a bit allow the game to live longer because sometimes it will be useful and players could somehow easily make new custom tiles

Great idea that would be very useful !

[xdhoomy12x]

i think a dark theme for it would be great, at least the script tab

I want to have doves that can carry items or cargo containers with ease. Atm it is not possible in sfd, but by adding a trigger of some sort that makes stuff weightless, doves can carry me around while I am sitting in WC or subway train

I would like to see the addition of a marker that can be toggled on or off. not quite like a switch. I couldn’t find anything like it when looking for it. The closest/only thing I could find was a made up thing when moving a solid object into an area marker. So far the way the game seams to read markers is just by a single blip or pulse, but what my suggestion is to add something that can input and output either a 1 or 0 at all times (just like electricity and transistors)

either this, or this and input it with logic gates

When you make campaigns, sometimes you'll have to make different types of bots and some of them may be civilians and if you already have some weapons or throwable items, you can still damage them. I'd like to suggest possibility to disable friendly fire and add some additional modifiers.

1.Friendly fire/throwing modifier - may be disabled or enabled;
-first of all if you disabled this option, projectiles/throwables will go through the bots and cant damage them.

2.Explosion critical damage - may be disabled or enabled;
-if it's disabled, bots or players can no longer get stun or fly away from the explosion.

This new area trigger is for a consecutive activation with <ms> delay option (you can set the time it takes to activate again) if the player is inside it. It would helpful in map editor players to make especial zones where there is radiation, hot steam, hp regeneration zone, poison, etc. Also to create a mechanism to detect if the player is still in an arena.

Before, I tried to make the "consecutive activation" by using a dynamic Arena Trigger to moving it from side to side, but sometimes it was lagging and staggered...

A trigger that serves to activate when player does a specified move.

Example:


You must select the move that player must do (kick, roll, grab...) in options that this trigger has to activate the object that you want to activate.

(I think I'll stop suggesting ideas for a while because game will not update in a long time, there are no servers available, they delete the help that I want to give and my head explodes to see if grammar is correct...)

Adobe Slopes

Dirt and asphalt are my favorite tiles to make custom maps with because they have 3 types of slopes. It’s great for creating natural type shapes for organic styled maps. This is why I build many of my maps out of dirt.

It is for this reason that I would be so grateful if there were adobe slopes. Either that or add a dark gray alternate color for the asphalt tiles, whichever is easier to implement. Then there would be the possibility to build with dirt and stone together.

Lava

We have acid and water, so why not add in the classic video game liquid known as lava? Lava would be great for creating a spooky atmosphere. We could make dungeons, volcanoes, hell, evil lairs, etc. Working together with adobe slopes we could make some awesome stuff

The map editor is already so awesome and versatile but with the addition of adobe slopes and lava, it would be even greater than it already is. Thank you for reading my suggestion.

Simple suggestion:
FgRailing, as simple as that, yet I think we need these, these could look like metal objects, may be slightly bigger because, bgrailing is supposed to be on the background, as it is foreground these are in front of players like most of foreground tiles and that would be pretty much it.

Hello, you know that the players are still making maps for this game and we don't have too many things to use, to improve atmosphere in our maps. These simple suggestions might take not too much time to add and they're actually pretty simple, but it makes so much ways out of the limit that we have now.

1.Few colors for Static BG Searchlight;
Just adds few colors besides cold white for light, maybe same pallete as for moon/stars.

In Map Editor:


Before:


After:



2.Static FBG Searchlight;
Adds static straight fbg searchlight as if it was Static BG Searchlight, but far away;
Might be helpful when you want to put gradient behind the city for better contrast and doesn't cover background objects;


Result:



3.AnyColor BG wall, FBG wall;
Adds BGwall with text color mechanic, so you can use any color for this wall


In Map Editor:



Result:



4.Light sources;
Adds some light sources, maybe same pallete as for moon/stars.

Result:

[Odex64]

too good to be true

[Danila015]

First and third option could be very cool in game

[Sushi]

With the new light system, we could see even more interesting designs for the game! Would be a nice addition, really.
