nice. it even works on my computer.

it works yes; but not very usable(?) -- is there a way to "tilt" to actually see from a 2D perspective?
FYI, ~59 FPS.
Driver: NVIDIA Corporation
Version: 2.1.1

I doubt it is meant to be usable... that would explain why it is the most useless dev tool k0zy - Sat May 10, 2008 3:44 am Post subject:
Even my crappy Intel graphics card on my crappy laptop gets around 59 fps.
Btw, the controls you posted are messed up.
There's only "Move forward", "Rotate Y" and no "Move backwards" aso...

Ya My next priority is to get a decent camera control system. I'm thinking of having a choice of perspectives.
3 I have thought out of is
- top Down (like continuum)
- 1st person
- Angled (like C&C style?)
The frame rate is limited to 60fps.

A freelook would be nice too. Right-click and move around to check around and change the angle

really neat, and could be really usefull for the subspace 2 project later on
also 59 fps and when i minimize window message pops up saying unexpected error

lol, it wasn't expecting you to minimize!
I would guess this is something to do with some function doing something with the window's size, but since it is minimized, it is 0... so... you can get divisions by 0 and stuff like that. Or it is trying to draw stuff while the window handle is... hidden or non-existant, whatever happens when you minimize.

i like the angled view. the kind like when you're playing a racing game and the camera is behind the car and slightly higher.

Wassup!!
I did this a while ago. Good fun but no time to do stuff now.
In level viewer keys...
A - Zoom in
Z - Zoom out.
M - Toggle Mouse look.
Arrows.. movement
Shift+Key - Faster move/zoom
Level viewer is based on 3d engine I made along time ago, not specific to SS. I think this one may use quad-tree building from lvl format for frustrum culling. I know, its overkill for a 2d map
Also is old SSMAP pics of 2.5D viewer I was working on.
Also is old SSCORE docs I did from code. They old docs I did make new code but it is archived somewhere now.
Now you have good luck with your code! Please do not talk to me ingame about this.. I try hard to forget it all
