Feature Requests (Editor Only) (Page 2 of 3)

Changing the colour of individual meshes? Like a panel on the left for rgb and a couple of scripting functions like getObjectColor(object) and setObjectColor({ r, g, b}). It would help save time in cartoony kind of game where only simple textures etc are used, and instead of creating a new mesh to achieve a different colour, it would be easier to use a panel on the left for it or use the script functions.

That's a good idea. The full object list on my game scene with >1000 objects actually seems to lags on mac.

Hi guys. For first thank you for your amazing work.
This is my whish list (something already wrote) ... in order of priority:
1) collada importer (this can unlock artists that don't use blender)
2) snap setting
3) hide entity (useful for medium-big size map)
4) filter entity (useful for medium-big size map)
5) customize mouse/keyboard
6) zoom view on selected entity
7) layer (useful for medium-big size map)
8) find entity
9) mirror entity
10) entity proprierty -> material and texture description
11) phisic editor
12) history
13) multiple view

... and a open source editor is more than a thousand videos ...

Hello, you can already do this, just assign the .mproj file to open with maratis.exe

For some easiness, clicking on the position, rotation or scale in the left panel copies it to clipboard in the format {0.00,  0.00, 0.00} etc.
EDIT:
Oh and I think it would be better if undo didn't deselect objects. It gets annoying when I undo the movement of a large group of objects and I have to reselect them all

Being able to apply the views settings to a camera would be nice. That way it would be easyer to setup a camera.

Being able to save a group of objects to a file and loading it into a level.

I would like to suggest adding the ability to 'create folders' for new projects, instead of everything going into DIR of choice. To me that is clutter and disorganized,  and would also negate the inefficient need to create this folder in the file explorer of whatever OS you use.

a hierarchical object list should not be too difficult to do,
I spent a lot of time working on the new beta so I'm not sure when it will have some free time.

I'm always parsing this post, there is a lot of good requests,
I'll keep you in touch when I can afford a new programming session.

continue the good feedbacks,
thank you

A few more I want to add, from frequent use of editor:

The scroll bar on far right is far too thin, and sometimes very difficult to grab as a result.

When you go to open a project, the Files/Folders are all one color and font ( and very small as well) ,and I think that's confusing. I would also remove the / in front of folders as imho that is also confusing to the eyes ( a distraction). I think it would make sense to have folder icons'. that would clearly solve that problem.

When you create a new project , all the files go into the dir you are in, and I think it would make things a lot more tidy and logical, if all those files went into a folder with the same name as the project being created.

Thanks

One other thing that would be very helpful. If a 'current' DIR structure isn't implemented in editor, how about just 'load project' where it would default to a 'project' DIR which would increase effificency, which would be better than nothing for now, and have a prefs setting that would allow use to SET that directory of so desired.
