Level creator Version 2 Version 2.0.0

4d

AdditionAdded a new script that turns curve objects into grind rails or object paths

AdditionAdded several enemies including: Buzzbombers(Beeton), Chopper (Batabata), Grabber and Spiny (Lander)

AdditionAdded three Camera Volumes: CameraFix, CameraPan and CameraFollow

AdditionAdded Autorun triggers (requires adding an object path manually to the triggers gedit code)

AdditionAdded Boarding Jumpboard that gives sonic a skateboard (requires adding "boarding" to the levels attributes in script_resident file or that the level is 4-9)

AdjustmentChanged Startposition, so that the uncontrollable time during a running start can be changed

AdjustmentChanged FBX script to allow armatures and shade smooth

AdjustmentChanged gedit script to allow volume objects

AdjustmentChanged level import guide to include rails

BugfixFixed Motora movement giving the wrong position vector to frontiers

TweakFixed minor error in level import guide

Version 2 is here with many new features and assets, most significantly GRIND RAILS!!! There are a bunch of new features and this update also will allow more stuff in the future as well. Please enjoy!

REMEMBER: With this update, startposition asset is changed. Please follow the .txt file called "IF YOU USED AN OLDER VERSION" to update the asset if you already placed it in a level.

(Keep in mind that this add-on is compatible with Blender 3.6 LTS. Blender 4.0 is not compatible)

This is a Blender Add-on that aims to make stage creation easier! 

Before this, level creation has been a quite complex process and most have given up before they got started. But now, this tool will be a great starting off point for your levels!

Features:

• 30+ Assets (and more on the way)
• Camera Assets
• Gedit code creation and coordinate generation
• Ability to turn Blender curves into grindrails and objpaths
• FBX Export button with correct settings for Frontiers
• .PCMODEL template creation tool
• A guide to level importing (Based on "Diceys less scuffed guide to level importing")

This Level creation tool was made with a primary focus on cyberspace levels.

How does it work?

Using the power of Blender 3.6, you can model and create levels then use the included asset pack to place several essential frontiers objects in the level. This add-on will then be able to export the level terrain, generate coordinates and gedit code that tells frontiers what objects to spawn and create a .PCMODEL template for the terrains coordinates.

FAQ:

• What to do with the gedit code?

Following the level import guide, you will create a gedit folder in your mod. Unpack the gedit pac with HedgeArcPack and hedgeset to open the gedit file. Then copy-paste the code from Blender into this file.

• What objects will be included in the future?

Our focus is to include as many essential objects as possible. There are many objects in frontiers that is on our to-do list, but there are also objects that are, at the moment, not possible. If you feel like an essential object is missing and you want us to include it in a future version, please suggest it in a comment.

• Can I make Open-zone levels with this?

Yes, kinda. The process is the same, however the asset pack does not have any open-zone objects right now. You can still generate coordinates information, but you will have to provide gedit code yourself.

• I get a "permission denied" error when creating the pcmodel template.

This error can be fixed by running Blender as an admin.

• I get an error when exporting rails or paths called "Attribute error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'type'". What now?

This error is because blender do not understand that the curve is a curve. Go into edit mode on the problematic rail and select one node. Then exit edit mode. Repeat on all rails causing problems and it should be fixed.

• My rail stop rendering after a certain distance.

Rails can only be 1000 meters long. Make sure to either keep your rails under that limit or seperate the rail into different curve objects (seperating will most likely lead to the none object error which is fixed by following instruction above).

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• This add-on is only compatible with Blender 3.6. Blender 4.0 is at the moment not supported.
• Hedgeset is, for the moment, not available prebuilt. Please refer to the Hedgehog engine Discord server(linked on froniters mainpage here on gamebanana: https://gamebanana.info/ for help with this.
• Testing the levels can be effectively done with the help of Angryzors Devtools which we highly recommend: https://gamebanana.info/
• This add-on is dependent on Blenders default coordinate system. Therefore it will give weird results if the user changed it in Blender's Settings.
• Startposition and red rings. If you use these, remember to delete the original gedit code for both, since they will interfere and can cause crashes.
• Please use this tool in accordance with the gamebanana section rules: https://gamebanana.info/

Known Bugs:

No known bugs at the moment.
