RF2 Editor Screen Shot

It's not much, but I want to show that I am still working. Here is a screenshot of the RF2 editor. It still has some default stuff in the tree view but it took a little while to get Ogre to cooperate with MFC. You can also run the full game in the editor which was a bit of a task, but it works well and is great for testing. Next step is camera navigation and object definition and placement.

I thought you wanted to use wxWidgets for the editor. Is there a special reason you are using MFC now? I spent quite a lot of time to remove MFC from the majority of the RF 1 tools so people can build them using the free VC express editions (which do not include MFC).

Btw, not too long ago I found these screenshots of the visual3d engine tools that may give some inspiration for the RF2 toolset.

wxWidgets requires a lot of coding to get stuff done. It is just easier to use MFC as I will get it done faster. I was at 1000 lines of code just to get the above screenshot using wxWidgets. It's only 54 lines with MFC. MFC is also more visual. I can literally draw the dialogs.

I looked at Qt also...the free version uses a build tool that is just cumbersome with Visual Studio.

I could probably use C# but it would require extra coding to get the RF2 code working inside the editor. It is important to the design of RF2 to allow the game to be played in the editor.
