Introducing RF PAD

tools required:milkshape
purpose: quickly design levels

Quick how to:

(note help is incomplete at the current time, it was getting boring, and i figured you might find the actual program useful)
design the floor plan of your level, by right clicking you access the menu, from there you can do a multitude of things, most of which are self explanatory.

The wall editor creates a basis for the side view of a wall for example, the default red is 2 points down the center, this represents the thickness. I would recommend using one of the defaults for your first model to get the feel for what it does. When you edit a wall, make sure to save before changing colors. the back button brings you back to the pad. you can use the scroll on your mouse to change wall types.

Construct model creates a text file with your model information on it, open milkshape and choose import> text... and find your file. If everything goes well, you should see a 3d model of your floor plan which you can turn into a model and using a static mesh create your level.

You can use this in making your games, no credit is required

I think this would get more attention (and be in a more appropriate spot) if it were moved to Level Design. Do you want me to move it?

I had few time to try it but it seems really cool. So I thank you for the effort you surely had to spend on this tool. Anyway could you spend some more effort to write some documentation and tutorials? when I see the wall editor I get lost.
keep up the good work

yep you need the wall files for generating the level

looks cool. you made this with game maker didnt you? the loading screen is a big tipoff

yea it was gamemaker, it seemed like the easiest route to go, btw i made all of this in like 2 days

definitely, i think im going to try to come out with a second version pretty soon with like 5 new features and docs, i just wanted to see if people would use it first

Extremely quick way of making a dungeon level......all i need to add is a floor and ceiling......very nice!

next version should have that too

finally if you noticed that some of the corner walls that are external look weird on certain wall shapes note that it will be fixed in the next version
