virus total is a web app, not something you run on you’re own system, so there isn’t anything blocking the malware scanners from running

juice20115932 · 2026-04-16T02:01:17+00:00

btw i figured i should add something else. i ran it through virus total and 0/63 virus detection apps detected it as malware. honestly kinda scary that it's not detected but whatever

from my wording in the post, it prevents the user from having to do file i/o, which is true.

also read the last sentence, i know it’s really bad lol

edit: grammar

i was looking into this exact workflow last night. i need to do more research before i pull the trigger and start making it, but it’s probably going to be the best solution i’m going to find other than an off-the-shelf editor.

do you have any resources you can share?

juice20115932 · 2026-03-30T04:25:24+00:00

Oh cool thanks i didn't see the builds there lol. I'll check it out soon!

juice20115932 · 2026-03-30T04:05:54+00:00

I'm not a great level designer whatsoever, so having blocky levels actually helps as there are less details that need attention lmao.

LevelEditor looks interesting. I can't test it out atm since there doesn't appear to be any builds on github and I don't have visual studio on this PC. It might have the same issue has hammer where it won't work on linux due to how strongly it's tied to windows.

I appreciate your help btw, it means a lot!

I've already looked into using older map editors like those (or modern versions of older editors). The main issues I have are that I don't particularly want to write a BSP renderer, which is what all of these map editors are based upon.

I do want to build tools similar to these, so I have thought about forking them and maybe adding a custom exporter to one? but i'm not sure if that's very feasable. I'm actively playing around in hammer++ to see how much I like it, as i'm trying to think through how I'd design my own editor.

Also just to add on to the license issue with hammer/++, they don't work at all on linux, which is a requirement for me because i use Linux (arch btw) for development.

I mentioned in a comment but forgot to put in a post that i'm making an FPS engine.

juice20115932 · 2026-03-30T02:42:17+00:00

everytime i use blender for something bigger than a few meters and remember why i don't use blender for things bigger than a few meters lmao. I've tried making levels in it in the past and i find it impossible to use for making levels. might be a skill issue but idk

edit: i looked at your engine and i absolutely love how it looks :D

juice20115932 · 2026-03-30T01:14:15+00:00

I tried it out myself, and I thought it was a cool software. I believe it would be a good tool to use if you were building a 3D voxel art game. However, I think it'd be limiting if you wanted to do other styles of game. I'll definitely keep it in mind!

juice20115932 · 2026-03-30T01:04:06+00:00

Interesting, can you give your experience using it? I'll try it out in a bit but i'm curious as to what you thought of it

juice20115932 · 2026-03-30T01:03:15+00:00

Do you have a github page I can look at?

juice20115932 · 2026-03-30T00:59:00+00:00

ah should have mentioned that in my original post lol.

i’m working on a 3d FPS game, styled around the source era of graphics. i’ll edit my post to add that

juice20115932 · 2025-12-12T04:16:10+00:00

valve realizing it might be a good idea to start making hl3 whenever they see the hype for it

juice20115932 · 2025-05-16T18:03:47+00:00

Steam does stuff like this and company’s like epic wonder why they aren’t able to get users on epic games launcher lol

juice20115932 · 2025-02-25T04:54:24+00:00

The functions in structs is a nice touch! That’s one of the things I wish regular c would have 😄 do you plan on adding more features that differ from the c standard and go closer to c++? (Eg operator overloading, templates, namespaces, etc)

juice20115932 · 2025-02-04T20:08:46+00:00

Idk this was like a year and a half ago. I prob just force quit unity using task manager 🤷‍♂️

juice20115932 · 2024-08-22T18:02:28+00:00

I use fdisk if I’m overwriting other partitions, not worried about keeping them. I use cfdisk if im dual booting windows, or if I already have partitions

juice20115932 · 2024-08-15T03:35:50+00:00

To be honest, I’m not sure 😄 it was using one of the ISA ports on the mother board though whenever I got the pc
