cat_or_not.Furnace

In game map editor for Titanfall 2

plugin

omg docs?

Installing

the installing process is slight complex

after installing

  1. the furnace plugin
  2. the Funace mod

you need to add furnace.env to the R2Northstar/plugins folder

profiles are not supported

then the content would look smth like this

PATH_MOD="R2Northstar/mods/cat_or_not.Furnace/mod/maps/compile/"
PATH_COMPILER="MRVN-radiant/remap.exe"
  1. PATH_MOD the path to the compile folder in cat_or_not.Furnace mod
  2. PATH_COMPILER the path to remap compiler (yes you need to download MRVN-radiant)

Using the mod

you get a cool window to edit the map, I think the ux is fine, so you'll be fine ;)

ui_showcase

both the plugin and mod must be working or else stuff will break

to actually edit the map load the map mp_default with the map command. this is the map that furnace uses. you can add other maps to the compile folder with the furace format

workflow

  1. click buttons and make stuff appear
  2. run compile_map command and wait until the server and everyone had there map compiled
  3. reload server with reload command
  4. repeat

the buttons do cool things

  • Snap To Closest Node => snaps view to closest corner mesh
  • Create New Brush => creates a brush from your view ( is affected by the Eye Dis text box )
  • Create New Brush ( 2 points ) => creates a brush from your coordinates
  • all the Nudge* buttons => move the mesh skeleton by the nudge amount in a direction

the text entries with Push button don't update the values unless you click the Push button

Text Entries

  • Grid => snaps the meshes to a power of that value ( kinda bad - Synthali )
  • Eye Dis => how far the second point is from the player's view
  • Texture => the texture for the mesh (a list of textures can be accessed with the dump_textures command )
  • Nudge Amount => nudge amount

^^^^ stuff isn't saved between server reloads so push the Grid and Eye Dis again

TODO: save it

I think that is everything
