Project Launch Settings and Mod Support

The new editor is being designed to be flexible enough to work with any game, so it can be used for modding as well as game development with our new 3D engine. Each project has configurable settings that can be used to handle what the editor actually does when you run the game. In the case of a game like Quake, this will involve running a few executables to first compile the map you are working on into a BSP structure, then perform lightmaps and pre-calculate visibility.

You can also set up your own custom workflow to automatically convert textures and models, using either the import / export capabilities of the editor plugins, or an external executable. In Leadwerks, this was all hard-coded with the FBX to MDL converter and a few other converters, but in the new editor it's totally configurable.

Search is working right now. That's what that text field in the asset browser is. It can handle a hundred thousand files in less than a second. I'll write a lengthy article about the asset browser, as a lot of work went into making that work at scale.

A search box option in Assets and Scene I think would be great

Here is what it looks like now:
