Editor preview images

[Flemse]

Hey guys, I really like the editor, but I would love to have a preview of the selected item in the list. Right now, you have to place the asset on the scene and see what it is, which can get very tedious. Could you possibly add such a feature? I would love to have it as a feature in the HammerEditor, but if that's not possible, it would be great if you would consider it for Serious Sam BD.

As I understand it the development on the current engine and tools is over - they're currently working on the Serious Sam game with a new engine and editor. If I recall correctly, that new editor will be very similar to this one but with scripting powers and even a preview window for the assets, since that has been suggested by many people. You're not alone!

yea, we are working on our new platform, that will power Serious Sam and a future HW2, it has a preview function of assets.

Was that Hammerwatch 2 confirmed, Hipshot?

We will look into that when serious sam is done.
But pretty much yes, new engine, new everything.
Won't be the same though =/ =( it will be different.
Let's take it outside.
