Don't try Gonstruct until you can use the default editor.

Well actually maybe About the Mac, they could Port gonstruct to the iPad, and make it like some ringtone apps, that store your tone, but you need to conect it to a PC to get your levels on the server

I could have sworn the SDK included a iPhone or iPad simulator. Tho I remember needing a mac to run xcode and having to pay a developer fee of $99.

Would link to apple's website but not sure if I'm allowed to post external links here.

Don't bother, I wasn't being entirely serious.

I don't really have any desire to continue working on gonstruct. It's been a while since I was personally invested in editing levels, and at least I was hoping that someone else from the graal community might jump on the project and keep it going and was rather disappointed that no one did, though I don't know how fry feels about it.

Cripes, it's been a while.

Out of curiosity (I haven't done any programming on Windows years), what's the hurdles? Getting gtkmm and boost setup?

You did get that sorted out, right? Short of some bizarre bugs, this would mean that you somehow set D:\ as your graal directory and gonstruct is trying to index your recycle bin. While that error is definitely something we should be handling, you can probably avoid it if you nuke your probably gonstruct settings and choose a small graal directory the next time.

Supposedly, compiling on Linux is fairly easy.

I've never compiled it not on Linux, so you should be fine. It worked for me with my distribution's packages for the dependencies. Let me know how it works out for you.

How to Download, Compile and Run Gonstruct in Ubuntu
(Tested on Ubuntu 11.04 but it should work for older versions as well)

Before you start:

1. Enable the Universe Repository (if it isn't already):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

2. Open a Terminal and Run:
sudo apt-get update

Now that you've enabled the universe repository and updated your sources:

1. Open a Terminal

2. Install Git:
sudo apt-get install git

If you get an error saying the package is obsolete or not found try the following instead:
sudo apt-get install git-core

3. Clone the Git repository locally:
git clone git://github.com/fry/graal-gonstruct.git

4. Change to the Git Repository folder:
cd graal-gonstruct

Terminal Tip! If you press TAB it will auto-complete filenames or directories for you. If you type: cd gr and then press TAB it should auto-complete it to: cd graal-gonstruct

5. Git Checkout Gonstruct:
git checkout

6. Install Gonstruct's dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libglew1.5-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev libgtkgl2.0-dev libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev ruby cmake

7. Generate the makefiles:
cmake .

8. Run the makefile:
make

9. Run Gonstruct:
src/level_editor/gonstruct

Upon running Gonstruct you'll be prompted to configure Gonstruct and after configuring you'll see the main Gonstruct window.

The Gonstruct binary/executable is located in ~/graal-gonstruct/src/level_editor/gonstruct so you can just create a link to it or copy it to wherever you want to run it from.

If you encounter an error please copy and paste the message you received in the terminal, and the output of cmake as well.

Also not sure for the cause of this, but I was working with Gonstruct last week or so, and while a level worked fine when I first uploaded it, when I updated it again, removing some of the previously laid tiles, the entire level blocked the client. I was unable to fix this, and yeah.. like I said, don't know what caused it. Should note that this happened with multiple levels.

Levels with tilelayers are behaving extremely strange in v6. The first time you enter a level every session, all of it's surrounding levels on a gmap is completely covered in blocking tiles that won't dissapear until the level is updated. It creates some very inconvenient problems for non-staff players.

@Stefan, check it out yourself on Maloria at mal.gmap.

The problem is the last tile (4095) which is colliding with the -1 transparent tile. When loading the tile layers from cache then the -1 tile becomes 4095. I've fixed it, so it should be fine in the next version. To avoid the problem in the current version you could make the last tile transparent. In the next version the tile 4095 cannot be used in upper tile layers anymore.

I always wanted to look into simply translating levels from the Tiled format into graal levels. You could also very easily support gmaps (e.g. create a 640x640 Tiled map and then translate it into a 10x10 gmap).

It obviously wouldn't support npcs or anything, but it's a great editor that has a lot of support.

edit: was just reading their site: "Supports input/output plugins to open and save files in custom formats"...might be worth-while to look into!

I'll consider moving the Graal directory from the partition and clearing the cache for Gonstruct. Thanks Loriel

If someone is going to work on Gonstruct, it should be noted that these are the most important bugs/improvements:

• Dragging the tileset slider causes the entire tileset to draw over the level until the slider is released.
• No right-click tile flood fill when having multiple tiles selected.
• Ctrl+Z does not restore deleted layers.
• Unknown reason(s) causes some gmap levels to crash the client.
• If you accidentally right click to flood fill outside of the level boundries, the client crashes.
• The ability to zoom out on gmaps would be fantastic.
• Wrong settings can cause the client not to start until you remove them from AppData.
• If done properly, having layers displayed in their own layer section (PhotoShop/PaintShopPro style) could be an improvement. If not done right, the current way they work is just fine.
• Not sure if this is a bug or just poor implementation, but selecting tiles on a layer > Ctrl+C > navigate to another layer > unselect the tiles causes them to be moved from the original layer to the current layer. Would be nice with a better way of handing that, because it's a great feature.
• If a tileset image is updated while having Gonstruct opened, it would be nice if the level would redraw.

That's all I could come up with for now.
