that looks cool man nice work

I'm not really seeing the usefulness of this, since you obviously can't write a valid map file back out after fucking with the objects like that.

what? yeah you can

Lmao dunno what you're talking about but coordinates, object types (wall, diagonal wall, etc) and rotations are part of object map files so u just write an encoder and loop through every existing game objects including the ones u added? as for scaling you just encode the object def with the new scale x/y/z

I know the map format like the back of my hand, but thank you for explaining it to me!

Anyways, I am done responding to you. You are apparently too retarded to look at the information on the thread before spewing stupid bullshit at people (inb4.. but I can just truncate the coordinates, and the rotations.)

So because the map editor has more flexibility and features than the client... the map editor is useless? sounds like the client is more useless for not supporting different angles (which actually isnt true because you can rotate models to whatever degree in which ever coordinate plane you want even in 194s and probably older). also you can just make the map editor use rs coordinate systems in a few minutes. as for scaling I already explained scaling is in object def, you just encode it as a new object so you dont modify existing maps that use that same wall.

you are talking as if this is closed source and op has no access to source code which he obviously does? idk why you are limiting yourself, just write the degree of the rotation for object in map file encoder and update your map decoder to read the degree. also if u dont want to add a new object to object definitions for every wall u change scale value then also write scaling value to map file.

Looks pretty dope man. Good job.
