rico Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Hi, there... I just wondered what do you think about a mobile mission editor for one's tablet or phone (Android...)? I thought this would be a fine tool having your missions at your side. Planning where ever possible and flying at home...I cant do it, cause i'm way too unexperienced in this field. But if one of yout buddies...? I would pay a few bugs for it...What do you think? Regards, rico
159th_Falcon Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 The idea is nice, im afraid its just not possible due to limited processing power on such devices. As well, the entire code would need to be re-written for android and Ios, time better spend improving the ME we already have and fixing bugs. Ofcourse, that's just my opinion.

Krebs20 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 The .miz file is really only a text file. The mission editor is only a GUI to generate it. You could build a GUI on a tablet to make a miz file. This is a project that the community can build if it chooses to. It would be a lot of work. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
nomdeplume Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 The idea is nice, im afraid its just not possible due to limited processing power on such devices. Not that long ago people were playing full-blown flight simulators on computers with much less processing power than a modern smartphone. If you can't get a mission editor to run with a gig of RAM and 1GHz+ dual-core CPU, then you're doing something seriously wrong. :D As well, the entire code would need to be re-written for android and Ios,The mission editor is mostly Lua, and you can certainly use that on Android, so it's possible even a straight port would be possible (legal issues notwithstanding). The user interface would be more or less unusable of course. Even a straight port would be a massive amount of work though. time better spend improving the ME we already have and fixing bugs.100% agreed. The same amount of time invested in creating a "mobile editor" could be used to greatly increase the efficiency of the existing one.
ED Team c0ff Posted March 8, 2013 ED Team Posted March 8, 2013 It's not hard to write something, you do it only once. The main resource drain is the support. You do a little of it but all the time. And then things start to build up. Dmitry S. Baikov @ Eagle Dynamics LockOn FC2 Soundtrack Remastered out NOW everywhere - https://band.link/LockOnFC2.
