At the current stage this is nothing more than a map viewer but one day it will hopefully become a fully-featured map editor. Any help is appreciated.
This repository contains dependencies as git submodules. When you clone the repository make sure to use the --recursive flag or once cloned download submodules with git submodule update --init --recursive
Make sure to use the Release and not the Debug version if you are not a developer as the Release version is much much faster in loading maps.
# Install dependencies (Ubuntu)
sudo apt install libsfml-dev
# Enter the cloned git repo folder
cd geck-map-editor
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
makeThe easiest way to build GECK on Windows is to use vcpkg for dependency management and the latest Visual Studio for compilation.
vcpkg.exe integrate install
vcpkg.exe install --triplet x64-windows sfmlNow just open the project in Visual Studio (File > Open > CMake...) and then build it (Build > Build All).
The easiest way to install SFML is using Homebrew.
brew install sfmlCopy master.dat and critter.dat from your Fallout 2 installation to the resources subdirectory.
If you want to extract data files from these archives use dat-unpacker and convert all files to lowercase using the --transform option. By default, GECK::Mapper will load files from the resources subdirectory.
Use arrow keys or right-click and drag to pan the view.
Left mouse click on an object to select it followed by a left click on en empty tile to place it there. Right mouse click or left mouse click on the same object unselects it.
Left mouse click on a tile to select it. Right mouse click unselects all tiles.
Ctrl + R to rotate selected object
The goal is to be compatible with vanilla Fallout 2. That means loading maps made in the old Mapper
I would have never been able to reach this stage without the code from Falltergeist, Klamath, FRM-Viewer, Dims Mapper and darkfo.
