another NMR idea [Archive] - ForumsHQ

i was wondering who else cant be bothered clicking add room about 1000 times for a large new area?

(dont answer panterra ;) )

i was thinking maybe in the map display, the new one, add in a click and drag, or just a click for a new room, using subsequent room numbers.

Say if you add room 10000 1 and want to add in say an area straight up or something click and drag and bam 10001 1, 10002 1, etc.

Or how about you specify a range that you want to work in say 10001 1 to 10020 then each room you click on would increment to the designated range max.



Just a thought i hope i wrote this easy enough to understand.



if its not too hard to implament would be cool



: edit :



or a database restore sorta thing, reindex files thing?

i dunno just a few ideas i spose

uhm ... map editor?



set up a 'template' room, go into the map editor, enter a room number you want to start incrementing from, and then just walk around using the clickable buttons or the keypad (turn on the auto-create and auto-use next room). you can make the foundation for a huge area in a matter of seconds/minutes.

Even the other way is pretty damn simple. The bottom line is, if you don't wanna spend that much time doing stuff...maybe you shouldn't. People that have spent time on their boards, Panterra, dxpac, Xetox, Jackal...have the best boards around because they've spent the time making it that way :D

hes sayin make the rooms on the editor so you can drag them around and put them where you want to build... not a bad idea but its easy enough the way it is...

That's what I was saying Pant :P It's worth the minor amount of extra effort.

i thought about the idea of drag and drop awhile ago but i decided it wasn't really worth it at the time for the amount of work involved. what i may do is revamp the map editor so it shows like 5-10 rooms around. i really think he is just in the dark about how easy it is with the map editor:
