Creative World Edit Tool

[Teyloune]

Yo, some people ask for Creative mode, - but, at the moment, im buzzy Building/creating Mountains becuz the Mountains i found wheren't extreme(big/high) or snowy enough for me, so .. after like +10 hours of Building Mountains block for block, im sick of it, its not fun anymore do do this, but i have to do it for my Building Project, so please giv' us some Kind of World Edit-thingy, i really need it (and im sure other players would love to have them too).

Thanks.

brb "Building Mountains". Q_Q

Hello Teyloune,

Building mountains? You must have a huge build planned! I would love to see it when you get it past the mountain range part of the build. I am curious how you see this working. Many people have asked for creative, but I am not thinking that is exactly what you are asking for here. It sounds more like you would like to drag and drop major features into the world and resize them with a pull of the cursor... (More like SimCity) Please let me know if I am wrong!

If I am right then please expand on what you are wanting to see. Would this be a separate program or built in?

it sounds like the MC world edit mod. by using chat commands and tools you can set brushes to add or remove blocks or change the type of blocks.

as i personally never played the pc version and therefore didnt use that mod i only came to know about it via YT

its pretty much an additional sculpting system like the 3D software blender has (or others like ZBrush).

Ya, sorry, my first post was somewhat "poorly worded" becuz i was super tired after trying to create a Mountain with ingame tools, (to build - maybe a Dwarf-ish like city on top and around it.)
It didn't work very well and i got mad. :<
*but to be hornest, i think most of the stuff i say, is poorly worded, since english isn't my first language, but i keep trying :p

TheRemyD, yes, im askin for a World/Map Editor to Change Major parts of my World.
I want to have tools to create things like an Ocean, Vulcano, Meteor Craters, Spheres, Flying Islands (not the blueprint), Insane Mountains, Whole (new?) Biomes, or a World that looks absolutely doomed(< becuz i really like dark spooky stuff) in just a few clicks & Minutes (but im also okay if it takes more time and effort to create stuff like that :p ).

For example; Imagin you build a City somewhere but then later you realize it would look way better "somewhere else" and you dont want to spend another XY Hours to rebuild it, so why not "Copy and Paste" the Whole City to the place of your Dreams, or even better just change the whole world and create the place of your dreams?

I want to play with all kinds of liquids Water, Lava uhm.. liquid-goo <(to make a super sticky swamp out of it or something else) and make Lakes, Rivers and Oceans out of it, with just a few clicks, why? Becuz i think it would be absolutely awesome to have the tools to make your dreams come true ...

and Hoki is also somewhat right, in my first post I was more thinking about Programms like "Voxelsniper" or "MCEdit" from Minecraft, but now it imagin those tools with something like a SimCity-like Map Editor? It would be insanely awesome and would unlock so much potential for the communtiy to do stuff.

Build-in or a seperature Programm?
Thats a good question;
I think "this" beein a seperate programm would be better for manny reasons like (for example) (some sort of mod support) it would be "more easy" to impliment things into it like "Add your favorite Brush-tool" to your Editor, and other things i can't think of right now.

And i would love(!) to pay for a Seperate Editor-Programm, *add unlimited potencial meme right here*
*(But you should be at least World Owner or World Admin to use all these tools on Worlds, otherwise everything will go super crazy in a bad way)

*Another Thing;
One point why Minecraft got so big was becuz of the huge modding community, we can't really mod stuff here, so the Editor beein a Programm could help a lot to change that, and make creativerse explode.

And "Build-in" ?
Not enough options, limited potentcial, manny downsides, - please no.

I hope that makes it more understandable what i would love to have for this game.

MCEdit has a copy function (or at least some other mod was included in a YT vid i saw). in one video i saw how someone made the bottom part of an floating island than copied it and mirrored the copy part.

having it as a post creation tool would basically just adding to what we got right now. the system would still use the templates we got now.

but a seperate programm would be something i'd totally support even if it'd cost me like 20 bucks

[Teyloune]

This may sound stupid, but im not a fan of Chat Commands (like most Editor-Programms use), i have some troubble keepin them in my head, i hope we could also have an "easy to use hard to master interface" + Chat commands (for people who like to use them).

[Hoki]

chatcommands are fine as long as its just a mod. but if its made by the devs its should have some kinda UI

[Teyloune]

Ya, fine for a mod or just build-in stuff, but we don't want that, right?
Gimme my shiny ui :p <3

it sound like your asking for something like tedit? (terraria world editor)

If you didn;t find large enough mountians in game then you didn;t explore enough. there are some truly MASSIVE mountain ranges on every map I've been on. I know it takes a while to fully explore a map, but it's worth it and would definitely be faster than building your own mountain range lol. There's some really cool building spots in the game, just gotta take the time to find em. Exploring is half the fun (in my opinion anyway).

@kewlaide and @boboturk: this is a two years old thread, just in case you failed to notice.

Ah, I didn't notice (which is weird cuz I'm usually pointing these things out lol). It popped up cuz kewlaide responded...bad kewlaide :P

Better tools are always a cool thing to add to any building game. Although I would prefer more balanced in game alternatives to a "fixall" command. Maybe tools for better terrain alteration, or mining large spaces...

Anyways, it is usually better to make sure that a thread is less than a few months old for games that are constantly being updated. For instance, this thread was long before blueprints were a thing. And that flood fill tool is amazing for building places up. Excavators are pretty nice for tearing a place down as well.
