Default Foundry Designer


Foundry Designer
Foundry Designer is a flash tool that allows you to design your maps in the foundry before you actually forge them.

Update!
This just got posted on the B.net front page - check it out - http://www.bungie.net/News/content.a...news&cid=14182
Features
  • 11 objects to design your map with:
    • Double Box
    • Double Box, open
    • Single Box
    • Single Box, open
    • Wall
    • Double Wall
    • Fence Wall
    • Corner Wall
    • Bridge
    • Stairs
    • Fence Box
  • You can also add all the walls sideways.
  • 5 Tools to manipulate the objects after you add them:
    • CW Rotate - rotates the object 45 degrees CW.
    • CCW Rotate - rotates the object 45 degrees CCW.
    • Custom rotate - rotates the object a specified amount
    • Delete - deletes the object
    • Move - allows you to move the object
  • Level changing - this allows you to add an object on one of the four different levels.
  • When you change levels a greyed out area will show you where you can add objects
  • Interlocking - you can interlock items by adding the item you want to interlock on top of the first one. I'm thinking about adding a more advanced way to interlock.
  • Item limit counter - this counts how many more of each item you can add before you use them all up
  • Budget counter - Adding items uses up your budget just like in the forge.
  • Unlimited Budget Glitch - you can enable the unlimited budget glitch in the settings or when you've used up the budget. The budget will continue to count even with unlimited budget allowing you to turn it of again.
  • Grid - in the settings you can enable a grid to help you place objects easier.
  • Hotkeys - by pressing number 1-5 you can change the tool, pressing escape will change back to no tools. Holding control and pressing 1-4 will change to that level.
This is an example map I made

Here it is

If anyone has any cool idea's for features or things to add I'd like to hear them.

Looks kool but you can't merge so it's sort of unhelpful


haven't posted any maps yet, still practising until I get it just right :D

i like how you can make things flat or standing and how everything is (or at least seems to be) to scale.

I love you. Seriously, this is the best designer out there, way better than drawing it.

Can I have your babies?

I remember someone posting something like this earlier and I used to use it. I don't remember who originally posted it, but I used it and it was amazing. Now this "upgraded" version is just as goon and I will soon use it. Thanks bud.

I don't really like it. YOu can't see what you are doing if making an interior, you won't know exactly what it will look like when stacking objects, you can't interlock or merge... But I would say this is great for n00bs who make really simple basic maps...
