Ptah Battleplan and Downloads

There is a base requirement that Ptah be able to load and save in any format that COAL supports. There will be a cvs tag and a binary release after each phase.

Phase I - Geometry

• Create bounding areas for particular land types by clicking on the map. - DONE
• Select one or more polygons by clicking on them. - DONE
• Select one or more polygons by drawing a box. - DONE
• Translate selected polygons. - DONE
• Edit specific points in the polygon by selecting and dragging them. - DONE
• Deleting polygons. - DONE
• Rotate polygons. - DONE
• Scale polygons. - DONE
• Cut, copy and paste selected polygons to another map or a different area of the same map. - DONE

Note - This is the first time that I've ever done a 'distribution'. Suggestions and contributions are welcome. The more feedback I get the more work I'll put into creating quality packages.

Phase II - Textures

• Adding media resources to a map by selecting an image file from the local machine. - DONE
• Select a media resource to be a texture for a landscape polygon. - DONE

Phase III - Hierarchy

• Be able to specify hierarchal relationships between polygons in code (no GUI needed). - This determines z-ordering while rendering the scene and also effects the translation of polygons. Parent polygons are rendered first and when they are translated their children are translate the same amount.
• Use the GUI to specify a 'target' polygon that will be the parent of all polygons created afterwards.
• Have a special window that shows the hierarchy for the whole map and allows you to edit it.

Phase IV - Objects

• Place objects in the game world by clicking on the map.
• Specify media resources for objects.
• Translate objects.
• Specify bounding volumes for objects. * Important currently no support for this *
• Be able to place objects in the map hierarchy.

Phase V - Information

• Be able to view and edit properties for polygons and objects.

Call it version 1.0

Note that by Version 1.0 I'm not really implying a complete application. Just one that touches on everything I think is needed for a first pass. If everything goes as planned users of Ptah version 1.0 should be able to cobble together a fairly complete environment for World Forge servers.
