map preview code

[treba]

hey everyone,

i was just wondering if anyone could tell me which part of the code in megaglest is responsible for the map preview, as i want to reuse it for my editor (to make it possible to define areas in a graphical way)

thanks in advance

Actual rendering code in renderer.cpp:

Renderer::renderMapPreview

called from some of the menus like this:

renderer.renderMapPreview(&mapPreview, renderAll, 10, 350,&mapPreviewTexture);

thanks softcoder!
i was actually more looking for the part of the code that reads the data from the file, but i guess i found it now (in shared_lib/sources/map.cpp MapPreview::loadFromFile)

This is exelent!, if you need help testing treba im on Windows and Linux .

You might also want to check the GAE map editors "show map" function which calls the engine to render only the map without starting a game.

ok, seems to work pretty well. got most things rendered now.

And now the plan is to make it graphical did i understand that correctly?

[treba]

well no, this i way to much work in the moment. maybe some later time.
the next step is to make it possible to select areas to e.g. place units. i would love to do in directly inside the engine, like in wc3, but i think with this 2d map, it's also quite easy already.

By the way, your image is showing a typo. Should it say "Title" instead of "Titel"?
