C# Monogame RPG Made Easy Tutorial 17 - Map Editor [Setting Up Winforms] Video Lecture | Monogame Tutorial: Design your own Game - Game Development

come on babe
so what's up everybody and welcome to
your next sea shark model game made easy
tutorial and majority of the people so
that they wanted to actually start
working the tom map editor so we're
going to get into the time I better
there and then we're going to actually
convert our program our product to a
model game project and put it to a
multiple amount of OSS and now we're
going to continue from then on add in
some NPCs and some enemies battle
systems questions to an event system all
that cool stuff before I even start with
this tutorial are on tutorial number 16
the previous tutorial a person by the
name of Sam Germano made a comment which
was a comment about a certain way that
the player class in the map class could
be done and it's an interesting topic
and if you guys want to apply your your
map and your plate that then like feel
free to do that he has some good insight
and yeah I encourage you guys just like
gutting 12 and sandramorrow if you guys
have any input just make sure you you
give your input
so anyways to get started we're not
we're going to be using the one of the
samples from the sorry from the XNA
website sorry about this okay
cool Google's changing so we're going to
type in one form sample and we'll just
eat XNA and should be the first one and
we can easily we could do all this by
ourselves but there's no point in
reinventing the wheel right um we only
want to get an X in a window rendering
in a WinForms window we actually don't
want to actually code on the background
code for that now if you want to learn
all the background code and understand
house running then it's up to you but we
don't actually need that so once you
download that you have two options so
you can start a brand new project to to
use your atomic edit in or you can
include it in this
if you'd like to include in the solution
you just right-click the solution and
click Add and you add a new project and
you're going to add a user WinForms so
your the windows click WinForms
application so don't you guys if you are
on or including your project or if you
guys want to include another project
then it's up to you um right now I guess
I'll just do it a new project to show
you if how to do it if you do want to
set a new project so if we want to do
the new project we're going to click
Windows and we're going to call this
we'll call it tau editor of combat
record o already created it because I
was trying a bunch of things um just say
time offender YouTube now before I even
continue the tutorial series again ah
one thing that you have to notice that
this code isn't going to be the most
optimized or most efficient code the
purpose of this tutorial and it's not
going to have every little last detail
that a professional top map editor has
it's gonna be a very fairly basic time
accreditor um this is kind of like
diverting from the actual RPG series
this is just going to show you how to
basically get started how to render your
map how to have a style sheet on one
side so you can crap outta town sheet
and undo and redo options like very
basic operations not gonna be anything
amazing and so um I want you guys keep
that in mind I'm gonna keep it very
simple but and then if you guys wanna
add in certain features then it's up to
you guys to add that in so anyways what
we're going to do is we're going to have
we have our form right here and we want
to do is we want to we need to import
some code from the XNA samples so we're
going to say add in our project and say
add existing item and we want to go to
our WinForms sample so let's see where
it is
and in our wind for example we have
three things that we need graphics which
control graphs by surveys and service
container and we add those to the
project and that's all those are the
only three things we need and we're
going to change them to our are correct
namespace we're going to say tile map
editor YouTube and we'll just highlight
over here rename it so rename it for all
our classes so that's all we need to now
we need to actually oh I'm not sure why
this is happening right here okay we've
got to add in some references but before
we even adding some references we want
to be able to use the content pipeline
to them you can actually load and font
and all that cool stuff so fonts and
images but we don't need to farm through
to loading images and we don't really
need the content pipeline to load on
images but it is a lot easier we don't
want really want to use the WinForms
solution basically well it's not really
a winform solution we don't want to use
an alternate solution because we're
already used to the X in a way of doing
stuff and so what we're going to do is
to our solution we're going to add in a
new project I'm going to go to XNA game
studio we're going to open a Content
project now to the people that are
adding this to the current project that
you don't need to do this because
whenever you make a Windows game it
creates a Content project and all that
stuff for you so you don't have to worry
about that so I'm just going to call it
content and we're going to create a new
project and we'll call it library and
we'll call it content library and don't
worry about that
Arius it's just saying that XNA is not
recognized on my platform but it still
works
so anyways um get rid of that and so we
have uh we have all these things are set
up and we have to get our references so
we have to add in a few references so we
have to add a reference to well this is
my recent references I'll tell you how
to really get them so you're going to go
to assemblies and you're going to go to
extensions
and um where is the XNA framework right
there so we want the XNA framework we
want the game we want graphics and I
think that's all we need for now putting
something else we can add that in later
and we also want to add a reference to
our African solution you want to add a
reference to our content library and
people that are adding it to an existing
project you guys want to do that as well
and we're going to do in our content
library we're going to say add a Content
reference and we're going to add in our
content and that should be good enough
for us and we should not have any errors
yeah we shouldn't have any errors now so
if we build it everything everything it
builded correctly so now what we're
going to do is we're going to do
something fairly quick this tutorial I
don't want it to be too too long so
we're going to do something fairly quick
saucers or our designer form design and
what we want to do is we want to create
a brand new class and we'll call this
class editor or something doesn't need
to be public and we're going to inherit
from graphics device control and we're
going to just implement these so it has
two protected override override methods
so in the graphs device control class
they are they're virtual methods and
this is where we're going to color
initialize stuff and our draw stuff and
we're not going to be really
implementing anything in there we're
just going to build the project and we
see build succeeded now once you
actually build the once you actually
build the project yes you should see
something like this in your toolbox so
I'm going to move the toolbox over here
just so you can see it and you should
see something that says Tom map editor
YouTube right here and I should say the
class's name so since we're in the class
editor we'll see the classroom there so
we're just going to drag this here and
I'll place it right there and we put
this back here and so what we're going
to do is we're just going to build it
we'll run it as you can see we got this
a window right here and the reason why
it's not Sky Blues because we actually
never set it to do anything like that so
what we can do is in the draw command
will see a graph sideways clear and
we'll just include the Microsoft
framework and we'll say color dot
cornflower blue
everyone's one more time so fall out
we've got in our game window right here
so we've gotten some stuff set up so
that's it for this tutorial we've gotten
a window and you can already see that we
can do a lot of stuff with it so it's
gonna be the way we're going to code it
is gonna be a little less traditional
than we know you've done it like with a
little content on low content and all
that stuff we're gonna be doing it a bit
differently
might not be the most efficient way to
do it
but we're going to get some stuff on the
screen and if you want to modify it or
make it to your needs that's fine
my job is to what I'm aiming to teach
you guys is um what you need to do like
the different steps on how to get
something and you can decide on how to
implement it but anyways that's it for
this tutorial hope you enjoyed it thanks
