Leveleditor (WIP)

Comming soon!

Prerequisites

The first thing to do is to create a folder named 'export' in your project directory. This is the root directory for your assets. If you export a mesh from Blender the addon exports all filepaths (for example a .tex file referenced in a .material file) relative to the 'export' folder.

Exporting assets from Blender

In Blender go to 'File -> Export -> ChrisslyEngine-Mesh (.mesh)'. Select the 'export' folder (or any subfolder of it), check any options you wish, and click 'Export ChrisslyEngine-Mesh'.

Creating a level

Go to 'File -> New Level'.

Adding entities

Right click a SceneNode in the World Outliner and choose 'Add Entity'. This opens the asset root directory ('export'). Double click the .mesh file you want load or select it and click 'OK'. Press 'F' to focus the entity.

Adding lights

Right click 'Lights' in the World Outliner and choose 'Create Light'.

Adding collision geometry

Right click 'Static Collision' in the World Outliner and choose 'Add Collision Mesh'.
