ENIGMA Development Environment

All of these caveats would best be documented on the Wiki page I linked you to. Instead of repeating the same instructions over and over again, just write them on the Wiki and then share the link to anybody who needs to know. Also so you don't forget either.

Done !  I documented the new features in the wiki :

http://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Room_Editor

It's strange, i didn't find any documentation about the new features you added recently in LateralGM (Global search, Image effects) 

Edit:
I think we should make additional sub-pages in the wiki for the rooms editor. As there is a lot of stuff in the rooms editor, one page doesn't seem enough if one day we will document every feature.

Thanks for the icons.
By the way, i think we SHOULD post an announce on the Enigma frontpage about new version of LateralGM. This year lateralGM has been modified in depth and we added a lot of new features. Instead, we have mostly announces about security patches or things which are not directly related to Enigma ! 

I did more tests and i've found a minor bug, which i was aware it could happen : if you copy a region where tiles or instances overlap, sometimes the display order is not the same. In the original region an instance is above another one, and in the pasted region, it's the other way around. The problem lies in functions copySelectionInstances and copySelectionTiles in class RoomEditor. Robert, you told me that i could let my work unfinished, so if you agree, i will let you fix this one, or we can also forget it for the moment. I don't think it's really urgent.

For change 1, the most important update is managing tiles layers (c.f https://github.com/IsmAvatar/LateralGM/pull/182), the other changes are minor compared to it.

Edit:
I added also three new toggle buttons : 'snap to grid', 'add on top' and 'add multiple', which can be used to switch the corresponding modes. There is also a new 'Select an object' button which is needed when we are in 'pasting mode' and we want to go back to the single object selection mode.

I've finished to implement the cut, copy and paste functions, and i made a new pull request : https://github.com/IsmAvatar/LateralGM/pull/192.

For the progress window, i wonder if we should not make it a modal window. I think new enigma users are sometimes confused by the first setup and don't see that some processes are running. With a modal window, it would be clearer.

Haha that's awesome egofree you're saving me the work, really awesome to have someone else helping with LateralGM. If you get bored you don't have to finish I can pick up any unfinished tasks for you as well. Once this is complete we can also get a new Portable ZIP out, as I said I like to update it about every 10 or so LGM features/fixes. Are you planning to link the selection with the list selection? If not I think we should discuss that aspect of this because it may need done again because of the sorting that I am planning to work on, unless of course you end up doing that too. Regardless, keep up the great work ego! 

I am not bored, i have a lot of fun doing it. I am not planning to link the selection with the list selection.
Right now, i have to figure out how to display only instances or tiles in the 'stamp'. I think we should select only instances or tiles when we are doing a copy and paste. It is not complicated to select instances or tiles in memory, but the class RoomVisual, which is dealing with the display, is not making any difference between instances and tiles.

Unfortunately, the kickstarter campaign has failed, but the developers didn't leave the goal to make a reboot HD version. Meanwhile, they decided to make a slightly updated version, outcast 1.1, which runs smoothly on modern computers : http://store.steampowered.com/app/336610/. The goal is to make the original game more famous for the new generation.

About this version
Outcast 1.1 has been recompiled from the original source code and improved to run smoothly on today's computers.The main improvements compared to the original version are: multithreaded voxel renderer for higher performances, software bilinear filtering on polygonal meshes, part of the HUD redesigned to match higher resolutions, new high-resolution sky paintings, new launcher, native support of xbox gamepad, user-friendly controller configuration, a lot of bugs fixed and improved stability.
