Grimrock

Hi guys. I'm to this thread and was just wondering if petri or any of the devs have posted any screenshots of the WIP for the editor? If so, where can I see them? I looked in this thread but couldn't find any? :( There was a blog post with a preview: http://www.grimrock.net/2012/06/27/dungeon-edito...

Uh, you got it backwards. Creating custom levels isn't modding, but altering existing things is.

This was exactly what I meant.

Come on guys, please stop those fancy creative ideas with game file patching, texture blending etc... trust me, this will not work. And I don't mean technically. What I mean is: It will work for a minor number of modders, but it will not support and vitalize a real modding community, which is a big ...

I haven't seen anything (I think) about sound in grimrock editor. can we use grimrock's original background music? (not the main theme) or is it possible to import some background music? what can we expect for intro screens (like the beautiful screens in grimrock intro)? can we do some? (or just te...

WOHOO!! I just successfully loaded a custom dungeon neatly packaged and exported as a mod into the game :D Never mind that the party starting location was incorrect... ;) Me too!! Oh well, no. That was just wishful thinking :lol: I think you're missing the point. A Boss Snail that would have the sa...

Again, I really hope AH changes this rule. In todays games, it is required to build upon the original content and modify it, because the amount of work that must go into new-content-from-scratch is massive. In older games, this was OK, aber today you have to build your own mesh, diffuse map, specula...

I really think they should change their mind. I don't know when they were writing down those rules, maybe before they thought about doing an editor? I don't know many games with such restrictions. They must change this to vitalize the modding community.

Daniel.

Well yes, you are right of course. Thanks

"The primary rule is that you cannot distribute any assets we have created. This includes, but is not limited to, software, code, Lua files, graphics, writing and audio. This also includes any modified versions of anything we have made." So retextures are out. I think it's kinda dumb, rea...

Great to see the editor in action! And it reminds me of all those great editors out there, e.g. for Doom, or Unreal etc... with those commons things like script entities (I think you will be able to visually connect an object with an script entity to execute it), an inspector windows etc. After watc...
