Prefab Editor (Alpha)

Ok Pille iam gonna attempt to use your editor......... watches pille block incoming pms from me :-/ lol. So far super duper awesome...i may have missed it but how do i remove layers for example prefab starts at layer 35. How do I delete layers 0 to 34

 
Hey Pille

Is it normal for when removing columns and rows the program not responds and hangs for ages to do it or have i done something wrong

I do them just a few at a time as I was having trouble doing 10-15 at once, seems to work ok for me.

It worke tho in the end just took a while of not responding and yeh large areas removed. But yeh also noticed the less rows/columns removed the faster.

Actually, no. Must be a very big prefab, right? Deleting half of the columns or rows from the biggest vanilla prefab takes 4 seconds on notebook.

does this mean we'll see some A16 versions of your old prefabs...?, I could think of a couple that would need that kind of claim zone to extract :encouragement:

Awesome, it's a real time saver for me atm and allowing me to alter layouts of streets/buildings on the fly as I'm working through em.

 
So we can import and export prefabs now using your editor or did i read wrong lol

I believe it's the import prefab feature within the editor for if you want to import a prefab within a prefab?

 
@Slaan

Good to hear that everything works as intended.

Yes, right.

@StompyNZ

@pille, a flip (mirror) prefab would be handy. Needed that today trying to fix up guppies apartments which didn't fare well in the conversion

I just tried to implement a flip function but there is a important problem. The rotations of some blocks need to be changed but other blocks (e.g. Doors) should keep their rotation data. So I am not sure if there is an easy method to implement a flip...

@n2n1

Just want to say again - Thank You, this Utility - is serious :)

Yeah, could be better though but real life keeps me occupied. Therefore I cannot implement what I want atm^^

 
Build underground

Is there a way to establish which layer should be the ground layer? If I build 10 layers underground and want the prefab to spawn correctly in a random world, how would I go about making sure layer 11 is ground level?

Depending on what you're making, I would just put a level of whatever block for that level. When you go to import it, use -11 as your height and that SHOULD be ground level with 10 underneath it. I"m working on a castle, I did the same thing so I could have a deep moat, and then did a solid foundation level where I was going to build up from.

Well, the goal would be for random generation and the -11 applied. I'm just not sure how that would get associated with the prefab.
