Game world editors for C++ SFML ?
« on: November 25, 2014, 06:02:28 pm »
I used Tiled Map Editor but this program no work with preDefined data for parse to some functions / methods.
And very boring when again again using Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V instead simply check some preDefined events to object.

Please advise me world editors for then parse to C++ SFML or complete engines based on SFML.

There's not "C++ SFML world editor" and again this has really nothing to do with SFML. Do your own research like everybody else does.

For my (SFML) games I use Tiled to create my maps, save as JSON, then use PicoJSON to parse the maps in my code. Works fine. What more do you want?

All fine with parsing - its doing TinyXML2.
I look about more usability.
TiledMapEditor no provides this.

You can see its at some game world editors like Warcraft3 WE.
But I saying about simply list of object properties to simply select.
This in Tiled no see.

For example.
We have some file with list of methods.
Like walk / jump / zoneReaction / someDifferentAction.
And Tiled cant parse / add this.

I say about like we add Textures to Tiled.
And like this add list of Actions which would pick in objects.

That kind of high-level editing is specific to a particular game or game engine.  It doesn't make any sense to expect that from SFML because SFML is not a game engine.  You would be writing all the code that implements walk/jump/etc so even if someone else created a particular file format and editor for that kind of data, it wouldn't serve any purpose.
