Looks great!


Just need to wait 3 more days. ;-)


P.S. There should be a new "major" version of lapin.exe in the upcoming days too. It will change the command line options a bit (nothing too big though)

Thank you both.

Right now nearly all modules are finished, but I'm polishing them, fixing every bug I encounter on the way.
Suggestion of features are welcome.

@LAPIN
do you have a ETA? I would like to release MWAIE with the most recent version of your validaor.

[LAPIN]

It just got out a few minutes ago. :-)

The name of your editor sounds oddly familiar... Sorta like the Editor SC2Mapster released weeks ago. I wonder what inspired you.

Or when people hear Galaxy they think "Milky Way"... since we live in the Milky Way galaxy.

while i love your tool, and think its a great idea, id really appreciate it if you changed the name. we have been calling our map editor Milky Way Editor for near a few months now, and id hate for confusion to happen

You know what you are right, people thing of MilkyWay when people think of Galaxy, and well the Author knew that and her knew there was a MilkyWayEditor too from Mapster... Want proof?





Kinda Funny his original name was MilkyWayEditor, and knew about Mapster's So he had to change it, not very cleverly tho


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_galaxies Here you go OP, Andromeda is still available i think

[LAPIN]

Good work.


You better run, sc2mapster are sending their army of angry kids to register on darkblizz and QQ.


I'm sure you can come up with a better name. :-)

I didn't know about your editor until a few days ago, just as you, I chose the name of my application some time ago (and yes, by the fact we live in the milky wAI). I'll change the name, but until I get a decent one, it remains MWAIE.

Or was originally going to name it Milkway and realized he could make a pun out of it replacing the 'y' in 'way' with an 'i' thus making a pun on it being an AI editor.

Get over it already.

[Kernel64]

Any updates? release? I've been checking this thread like every hour.
