Xagulz RME Extension Thread

[Xagul]

My goal here is to sort items in RME as efficient as possible to allow mappers to create content as quickly and as easily as possible.
If you are a mapper and you have ideas please share.

Currently my plan is to add new items to palettes based on their "theme".
I will also be sorting random items into their proper palette when I come across them. For this reason I will be keeping a change log of everything I am adding/moving. Hopefully it does not conflict with any extensions that people are already using.

Client: 10.77
Link: http://wklej.org/hash/da1deb52803/
Installation:

Spoiler: Step 1: open up RME > click on "About" > click "Extensions" > click "Open Extensions Folder"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler: Step 2: create a new xml document in this folder (you can name it anything)

Spoiler: Step 3: paste the code from the link above into this xml file and save it.

Spoiler: Step 4: provide feedback and suggestions on this thread to help the extension grow!

Sorry if this is not the right forum to post this but I need to be able to edit the post as I add more stuff and I am not sure editing is possible in the tools forum?

*CHANGELOG*

Spoiler: 4/11/2015

• Moved worm to tools
• Moved some dungeon stuff (chains/iron maiden/ect...) to interior

Ok so my current idea is "Themes".
Originally I was going to just add all the new walls/doors/grounds/borders into their proper category. The problem I ran into is that a lot of the new sprites have additional doodads that are useful for that area.

Spoiler: like this

The reason why that is a problem is because as soon as I move the new walls/borders/grounds into the proper palette, it becomes impossible to "select raw" to jump to that area of the "others" palette to easily browse through all of them. This means that mappers will have to search around all the different palettes to find "detail" for their area. A lot of items do not have names either so using the search function isn't going to solve the problem and many people may not even know the proper name of the item they are looking for anyway.

So my idea is simple really... In the raw palette (at the bottom) you will have a bunch of categories based on the theme.

Spoiler: example

I think this is extremely similar to what @Peroxide did with his extensions and after talking to @Snuggles it sounds like this will be the most useful way to sort the current shitstorm of a raw palette we currently have. Let me know what you guys think!

 

[Extrodus]

Great idea, would love to see what this turns into. I always fret when trying to find "all" of the possible details for one "theme" or "area".

 

[Peonso]

So my idea is simple really... In the raw palette (at the bottom) you will have a bunch of categories based on the theme. Example:

The presence of a item in a theme shouldn't exclude the possibility from it being present again in other.

I would love to see this!

Would help me out as a beginner for sure!

 

[Xagul]

Added a link to what I finished for today to give you guys a preview of how themes will work. I would have done more but there were so many "steampunk" items and they are so dark so it made my eyes hurt looking through them all. I also found a bunch of dark castle looking items so maybe I will work on a gothic theme next.

Also I added a bounty board below the change log post. I will put things there such as incomplete multi-tile items that I am unable to find the parts to. If you find the parts to anything on that list please post the item id here!

 

[Sportacus]

Thank you for organizing my map editor!

 

[Xagul]

I will be posting an update some time today with a few new themes. I just wanted to share this current palette with you guys because it is absolutely MASSIVE. It contains all the new desert themed doodads.

 

[Xagul]

Update added, done for tonight... Enjoy

 

[Snuggles]

Great stuff!

Thank you sir!

 

[Amiroslo]

Good job

 

[Chechlowski]

I'd say continue with this.

 

[Xagul]

I will work on this again soon. With the re-release of Deathzot and now Fallout 4, my time is limited atm

My brother is hogging the PS4 so I can't play Fallout 4 yet, guess I'll just waste time on your server until he goes to sleep!

If you want any help, please PM me!
