Godot's Hidden Level/Map Editor 

Does blender is ok for making maps?

Check out the Qodot extension, it basically lets you import quake .maps

@@NoOneInParticular0 Yes, it works very well for making maps

@@NoOneInParticular0 I use Blender for all of my modeling. Maps included.

Hi, I created the CSG export plugin, have fun: mohammedzero43.itch.io/csg-exporter

you're awesome

THANK YOU OMFG

I don't know why, but it didn't worked

Found the hero in the comments!

@@RhogerAnacleto same here

Didn’t know that, thanks for the tip!

when you get into the more complex stuff such as draw functions and audio.... lord have mercy on your soul......

@@snesmocha real coders build their own graphics renderer

Yeah, I also tried a whole lot of software but godot was the best for me am also learning

this is the same for me too. it just seems like godot is far more accessible for me and can help me learn more about coding easier.

seems godot is simple at core and with the way they can be extended it can competes with big 2 wich is cool to see good engines like this

How did you comment on the video 5 days ago if it was released today ? 🤔🤔

ya how you commented 5 days ago...lol

@@seemarajput779 it was uploaded earlier but publicly listed today

@@hanseldsilva2393 oh but the upload date is still yesterday, when I upload an unlisted video i still get the date at the upload day

there should be a way for us to have godot convert the node to a model for better performance :D

It's game changing

@@garbaj Literally!!

Omg fr your right

@@RSMR029 Now that I just rewatched what happened there, I also just realized that the sun and skybox is not synced; while the sun is coming from that direction, the shadow casted from the opposite direction as can be seen while jumping down from the hole a second before. lol

Glad you found what you were looking for

I was searching around for a godot level editor just this morning, clearly this video is a message from above

@@archiebaldry same last night i could only find unity's probuilder, or someone showcasing their assets. guess this is a very sus coincedence.

I’ve messed around a little bit in Hammer While it’s definitely not ideal, I was able to learn to make a simple room faster than other engines

there is a plugin called godot csg exporter which does that. Haven't tried it yet but it seems to work well

@@garbaj I suppose you're referring to this plugin? github.com/mohammedzero43/CSGExport-Godot

Every day I learn something cool about this game engine

@@garbaj Thanks so much for sharing! 💪

hey Zouhair!

@@zagame4real609 hey 😄

I didn't know that, but yeah, one more reason why csg is only for prototyping

@@garbaj That's because the whole CSG thing was mainly used for declaring bounding volumes for early games. I think the first id games implemented these because it was much easier to calculate culling and visibility using planes. A similar editing approach was the core of the first quake editor as well. If I'm correct it was only using planes, so the computed objects were all convex (of course you were able to put together more complex shapes from convex parts). The animated part is also a result of this, because the visibility calculations were using this plane cutting system in the BSP tree as well. Nowadays a quadtree is more common, but these were for static level geometry only.

Tbh Qodot is the better solution right now for prototyping levels unless you are going for a 90s feel for your game.

@@HonsHon Currently Qodot for Godot 4 is abandoned, but its fork func_godot is being updated

Lol and i only subscribed yesterday

Because the file came from a unrecognizable source (aka, from your computer and not a reputable source like Steam) windows automatically does this. You can click, “more info” and then “run anyway” to bypass it

Is built-in CSG not more convenient for prototyping though? Since you don't have to deal with exporting and importing your meshes between playtests? Maybe it's just as quick, I dunno, but remember that this method is meant for rapid prototyping and testing, not for creating your final player-facing levels.

Sounds like you have two meshes inside of each other. This is called Z-fighting.

That's just how world triplanar mapping is. You'd have to use a different kind of texture wrapping to get a different effect, and another limitation of CSG is the inability to use other kinds of texture wrapping. Which is another reason exporting the geometry to another tool for final cleanup is essential.

That's generally what you want for prototyping like this. This is not meant to be used in the final game that users see; it's a tool for developers and lets you see how your objects line up with the world grid. You'd typically replace this quick-and-dirty design with actual 3d models for the final game.

It was moved. Now both checkboxes are in "UV1" tab

Gridmaps work pretty well

I dont even need to add a texture, all I need to do is add a spatial material and a random black blue ish texture starts spazzing out

@@banjo3960 it be like that

nvm you hold control im a silly one

nvm you hold control im a silly one

Right now you can use a plugin called Godot CSG Exporter to do that. In 4.0 it will be a built in feature

@@garbaj ohhh, man, that'll be a killer feature, really :) I mean for level artists at least.

near the top of the window, click on "Transform" and "Configure Snap" and then change "Translate Snap" to the desired snap amount

@@garbaj it doesn’t work, I did what you said but stil it doesn’t work

​ @trollEYbus OK, I found it now, because of Godot 4 update, It caused me some time to do it, THX.
