# GECK::Mapper - Fallout 2 map editor
[](https://github.com/JanSimek/geck-map-editor/actions) [](https://www.codacy.com/gh/JanSimek/geck-map-editor/dashboard?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=JanSimek/geck-map-editor&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade)
At the current stage this is nothing more than a map viewer but one day it will hopefully become a fully-featured map editor. Any help is appreciated.
## Building from source
This repository contains dependencies as git submodules. When you clone the repository make sure to use the `--recursive` flag or once cloned download submodules with `git submodule update --init --recursive`
Make sure to use the Release and not the Debug version if you are not a developer as the Release version is much much faster in loading maps.
### Linux
```bash
# Install dependencies (Ubuntu)
sudo apt install libsfml-dev
# Enter the cloned git repo folder
cd geck-map-editor
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
```
### Windows
The easiest way to build GECK on Windows is to use [vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io/) for dependency management and the latest Visual Studio for compilation.
```bash
vcpkg.exe integrate install
vcpkg.exe install --triplet x64-windows sfml
```
Now just open the project in Visual Studio (File > Open > CMake...) and then build it (Build > Build All).
### OS X
The easiest way to install SFML is using Homebrew.
```bash
brew install sfml
```
## Usage
Copy `master.dat` and `critter.dat` from your Fallout 2 installation to the `resources` subdirectory.
If you want to extract data files from these archives use [dat-unpacker](https://github.com/falltergeist/dat-unpacker) and convert all files to _lowercase_ using the `--transform` option. By default, GECK::Mapper will load files from the `resources` subdirectory.
Use arrow keys or right-click and drag to pan the view.
Left mouse click on an object to select it followed by a left click on en empty tile to place it there. Right mouse click or left mouse click on the same object unselects it.
Left mouse click on a tile to select it. Right mouse click unselects all tiles.
Ctrl + R to rotate selected object
## Compatibility
The goal is to be compatible with vanilla Fallout 2. That means loading maps made in the old Mapper

I would have never been able to reach this stage without the code from [Falltergeist](https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist/), [Klamath](https://github.com/adamkewley/klamath), [FRM-Viewer](https://github.com/Primagen/Fallout-FRM-Viewer), [Dims Mapper](https://github.com/FakelsHub/F2_Mapper_Dims) and [darkfo](https://github.com/darkf/darkfo).
