Map editor
The map editor (called 'Voxed'), introduced in beta 0.40, allows users to build their own landscapes from outside the game client.
Note: Maps can also be saved ingame by hitting the F1 button. This will save the map into your 'vxl' folder as 'lastsav.vxl'. It's advisory to change the file name of this to prevent over-writing.
[edit] Features
As of the first release, the map editor can:
- Interactively show maps (from many angles)
- Place/move/delete blocks (both individually and as a 'spray' of blocks)
- Individually colour blocks
- Edit water ('water' is considered the lowest layer - and the layer above is indestructible)
[edit] Controls
Currently, the editor has rather hard interface and requires remembering several key combinations. However, all of the controls are listed in the 'voxedhlp.txt' file in your Ace Of Spades directory. Controls can also be brought up in-application by toggling F1.
