|---|---|
| 1 Usage: | |
| 2 ------ | |
| 3 | |
| 4 Activate the plugin and select an instance. The selected | |
| 5 instance will be highlighted, the plugin is set to | |
| 6 visible or is updated accordingly. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 MOUSEWHEEL: | |
| 9 - above the offset labels, it allows quick de-/ | |
| 10 increasing of values | |
| 11 - above dropdowns, it allows to change to the | |
| 12 next entry (and apply it, e.g. animation viewer | |
| 13 seamlessly plays the next selected animation) | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Object editing: | |
| 16 By selecting a rotation, you can alter the offset of | |
| 17 _this_ angle and save it to the object file. The | |
| 18 selected instance is just an interface to see your | |
| 19 changes - you can't change a single instances offset. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 Instance editing: | |
| 22 Instances can't be edited - you can only type in an id | |
| 23 which is set if it is unique. Saving your map also saves | |
| 24 this id to your mapfile. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 Animation editing: | |
| 27 ATM it is not possible to alter animations. You can | |
| 28 use the animation viewer to check your defined actions | |
| 29 though. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 Buttons: | |
| 32 - p = "Play" | |
| 33 - S = "Start" | |
| 34 - E = "End" | |
| 35 - l1 = "one frame left" | |
| 36 - r1 = "one frame right | |
| 37 | |
| 38 User interface: | |
| 39 --------------- | |
| 40 | |
| 41 The object section allows you to inspect: | |
| 42 - namespace of the object | |
| 43 - object id | |
| 44 - blocking flag | |
| 45 - static flag | |
| 46 - current x/y offset | |
| 47 | |
| 48 The instance section shows: | |
| 49 - instance id | |
| 50 - instance rotation | |
| 51 | |
| 52 The animation viewer shows: | |
| 53 - nothing, if a static instance is clicked | |
| 54 - all actions of an instance | |
| 55 - a control panel to play the animations | |
| 56 | |
| 57 The purpose of this plugin is to: | |
| 58 | |
| 59 - edit object xml files | |
| 60 - edit the instance id of the selected instance | |
| 61 - provide an animation viewer | |
| 62 | |
| 63 The main purpose is to easily change offsets and | |
| 64 save these changes. (extremely helpful for the | |
| 65 creation of tiled walls) | |
| 66 | |
| 67 Limitations: | |
| 68 ------------ | |
| 69 | |
| 70 - only object data is saved | |
| 71 - instances on the map are _not_ touched | |
| 72 - exception is the instance id, this can be | |
| 73 altered via this plugin | |
| 74 - animations can't be edited and / or saved | |
| 75 | |
| 76 About | |
| 77 ----- | |
| 78 | |
| 79 The Object Edit plugin was originally written | |
| 80 by the Zero-Projekt team and was contributed to | |
| 81 FIFE as an example for the editor plugin system | |
| 82 and to encourage other projects within the FIFE | |
| 83 community to also contribute their tools to | |
| 84 enhance the Editor for all projects | |
