New Maratis scene editor based on the FLTK toolkit (Page 1 of 5)

Seems like camera panning is not working or I could not find it out! Zooming step is very small, I think you should increase it a little. Nice work

Update!

I fixed some major bugs including some random hangs when starting the game in the editor and save problems.

1) Random hangs fixed when running the player in 'profile' mode. All profiling is now done in the player.
2) Fixed a bug in the material editor that prevented the user from saving modified materials
3) Fixed multiple selection in the editor
4) You can now enable/disable the shadow of an object using 'enableShadow' in your Lua script. It is not included in the editor since this would break file compatibility with the official Maratis editor.

5) You can now check if an object exists with 'objectExists(object)' in your Lua script

Test if you didn't test it before and retest if you did
The download links are the same as before.

Keep in mind that those are directly built from the development branch. That means that you may find many bugs in there.

Have fun!

Ive tested it. Heres my thoughts:
I dont like the view controls. They might be good, but i would prefer to have second ones similar to blender. The F key is not yet implemented i guess?
Making a prefab and then loading one, results in an empty group. When saving a prefab you have to type the extension or else you would not see it. The group is good, but with drag and drop would be faster to parent the object for the group. View shading mode would be nice to have too.
Thats all for now.

This is just tests of loading objects.
Edit: The profile option sounds nice. Just to say about the blender controls. I just use the mouse to pan, rot, zoom and i feel at ease.

Akira_san: Thank you for the information

Hey Mike!
I used FLTK because it was the easiest one to pick up and play with. It doesn't need any meta compiler like Qt does what makes it quite easy to use and port. It worked well for me so I kept using it.

I didn't fork the existing editor because I first did not even have the intention to do any forking. I just wanted to play with it and see what can be done with Maratis. At some point I thought: Hey, you should share this with the world. And I did that.

Another reason is: The current Maratis editor is a mess code wise. No documentation or comments on how to use MGui, many hardcoded things in the editor itself. Then you have no support for modal dialogs or more advanced widgets. There is a reason for the existance of MGui2. You can't extend the current code in a straight forward way. FLTK on the other hand has plenty of documentation and examples on how to get things done. Nonetheless, the Maratis editor is an astounding piece of software. But like every software it has certain flaws that I did not want to have. My software has different flaws. It is solely up to the user to decide what he wants to use.

Yes, Neo is back compatible to the official Maratis editor.
For me the YoFrankie demo works fine: https://imgur.com/Z9qqRgI

I guess "doesn't work" is a pretty broad description. What exactly is wrong when you load the project?

About the licensing thing: Thanks for pointing out the page. I will correct this post too and will then (hopefully) have an licensing error free site .

About the licensing situation:
Well, it is pretty much what is stated on the (correct) front page. The engine itself is zlib licensed and the editor and player are GPL licensed. I do not intend to distribute a modified Maratis in the first place but an editor based on Maratis which (the editor) is licensed under a GPL license. That's why you have to agree to the GPL when using the setup for Windows. That MIT issue was a misunderstanding on my side and is not correct.

I hope that all your questions are now answered

Have fun!

PS: The SponzaFPS demo and every other Maratis projects I tested worked too. Keep in mind that you have to recompile all plugins to use the bundled player

Sorry, entities show up in the side panel and a few bounding boxes appear, but no objects.  When I press play a separate window opens but is just white.

I'll try it again when I get home, see if there's anything I need to recompile or run it in the terminal to see what the errors are...

This programme does not work on my Toshiba laptop running Windows 7  - 64 bit!

Message comes up when running:  Missing MSVCP100D.dll. 

So I downloaded it tried to run following putting this file into the Neo 1.1 main directory,  Still did not work!  So put into the Windows/System32  directory.

Still does not work!!  :-(

Mike: What graphics hardware do you use? It could be a problem with the new shader code which requires a newer OpenGL standard than the one used in the official Maratis (It uses the texture gather extension for faster soft shadows).

We could probe all graphics features in future and only enable the ones that will run correctly.

I use Intel HD 4000 on Ubuntu 14.04 (so graphics drivers are Mesa 10.1.3 which implements OpenGL 3.3).  Anyhow the new shader code does seem to be the issue - here's a paste of the error that comes up:
