Epic of Thalia Scene Editor

Overview

Epic of Thalia's various scenes are described in XML files. Constructing small scenes by hand is not hard, but creating a large scene is quite a difficult task, especially when you want everything to line up just right. Because of this, we started work on a WYSIWYG scene editor for the game. To encourage plugability, it is being written in Python.

Features

The editor doesn't have much in the way of features right now, but here are some of the plans:

• A live Python console
• Extensions to export the current scene to different file types (not just EoT XML)
• Extension to allow the editor to plug in to a running instance of Epic of Thalia, to make sure the new scene works correctly in the game and to speed up the development cycle for scenes
• Much, much more!

Screenshots

There are no screenshots as of yet, but there will be soon!
