The Realm Crafter Editors

The Realm Crafter engine comes with several powerful editors. These editors are part of the Realm Crafter MMORPG development system.

• The General Editor
• Scripting Editor (with Quest Wizard)
• Armoury
• Terrain Editor
• Tree Maker
• Architect
• Rock Maker

Game Editor

Used to put together game areas and levels, place scripts on actors, set event triggers and waypoints, create and place NPC's and monsters, and designate area transitions in the virtual world. The Game Editor is also a terrain and object-placing tool. Each area is made up of an environment with static and dynamic objects - Terrain, building, actors, dungeons, towns or cities.

Scripting Editor

Is the tool you would use to design your scripts written in the powerful Realm Crafter scripting language. Scripts are used to customize your game by adding behaviors, attributes, actions to actors and the game world. The Realm Crafter engine comes with it's own scripting language and integrated scripting editor. Designed to be simple and forgiving, yet powerful enough to control the game world's many components. The scripting language can be used for writing quests, setting behaviors of actors and items. There are also commands for conversation dialogs with NPCs. The Realm Crafter scripting language is loosely based on BASIC, with C influences. The included Scripting Editor makes adding scripts to your game easy.

Armoury

Is used to place equipment, armor, helmets, shields, weapons, and more on an actor in Realm Crafter. After making sure these objects (we call them "Gubbins") are correctly fitted to the actors, they can then be placed in-game where players can equip them to their player characters. This editor takes all the guess work and trial-and-error out of fitting your actors and NPCs with the equipment necessary for actor customization.

Terrain Editor

This tool is used to create the landscapes of your world. This editor gives you the ability to create terrains that can be molded and shaped in real-time by using a terrain shaping brush. You can raise mountains, or create canyons and valleys. You can create holes for caves or dungeons as well. The terrain editor gives you six textures of your choice that can be sprayed on the terrain in any resolution you desire. You can further customize the textures by adding vertex coloring to the texures. Can't decide what kind of terrain to make? The terrain editor features a random terrain maker as well. After creating your terrain and painting it, you can then import models like buildings and trees from the Realm Crafter General Editor Media Database and place them by hand or even randomly by height and slope of the terrain. After placing them you can then lightmap your terrain. Terrains can be scaled, and saved or imported directly into the General Editors Area Tab for further work adding actors and waypoints. The terrain editor also comes with a grass and tree swaying system that enables your game worlds vegatation to sway with the wind.

Tree Maker

Gives you the ability to create trees quickly and easily with this new improved version of the RC Tree Editor. Trees can be created now with roots and branches without having to shape them yourself. Trees made with RC Tree maker can sway with the wind and even change colors with the seasons!

Architect

Is designed to take model units designed for dungeons and interiors and snap them together to create one interior model. Architect can also be used to snap interiors into building shells so that you can have buildings with interior/exteriors in your game. After finishing your interior or building you can then lightmap it to give it that realistic look. Architect comes with 70+ interior model units and or interior elements. Four styles are included: Castle, Crypt, Cave, Town.

Rock Maker

Every world needs rocks and yet budget world designers find themselves using the same old rock model over and over. With the Rock Maker you are no longer bound to using the same old tired rocks. With just a few clicks you can create the custom rocks and boulders your world needs.
