While i really love writing stories, i know that there are people who can do a better job than i could hope to. I thought about it a while ago and figured if i can give a story writer a tool that truly exposes the features they need to create an epic tale, it will make the world of difference right? Well, to make things easier on everyone (and offer something interesting to look at) i have made a quick sketch of what i can see a mission editor might look like. Yes, its in game too. NOTE : CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE THE ACTUAL PREVIEW [caption id="attachment_110" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Mission Editor Mockup"] [/caption] Keep in mind This is an extremely rough mockup. Dont get too excited about bad layout and missing information and blah. Its just an idea to get the creative minds thinking. Comments and feedback are more than welcome, How can the mission editor be something really awesome? DISCUSS :>

What's new code side After spending a bit of time rethinking things for this multi UI experience i was testing and implementing a whole bunch of core code. I rewrote a good number of things that i wasn't happy with and i was implementing things in a more detached manner. Once i had that all done i dug into splitting out my hacked up test code into a proper abstracted interface, i got to testing my first interface with my current interface. The test was here, could i have the console (debug window) based javascript shell running at the exact same time as the visual shell, AND, have them using the same core module? Can i tell the core i need a login, and the visual interface responds as well? All things considered i managed to achieve this and more over a few hours thanks to boost, and Jon Parrot (the anti-brain-mess filter i run sometimes).

Thanks for all the feedback and views on the last one, and as i continue to make this one better comments are always welcome.

My new hosting is up, moving hosts so many times is a pain in the ass. Thankfully, the legend David Bixler has given me another incredible break and given me hosting again, thanks a lot! Check out his sites at www.asoldier.biz. Yea. New home, means i can post without worrying about moving for quite a while. There will be more posts now, regarding torque game engine advanced, 3ds max technical artist stuff, xsi mod tool stuff, and what not. There will be other random posts, but most likely regarding games and the development thereof. best.job.ever
