SUBJECT: RE: Welcome to Open Discussion Trouble with Visio is that first you gotta own Visio...
I did have a notion something like this: just use ordinary bitmap graphics. That way any tolerably compliant line graphic (in some generic format like .BMP), built in any image editor, would work for input.
Maybe colour-code the lines so that all lines of a given colour define a given height for that sector. That would be easy for users to see/use, and the bit definition for colour ought to be parsable by the linedef/sector builder.
Or maybe create a simple editor that's really just a bitmap editor (not a lines-and-sectors editor), that automates the "this colour is that sector" thing for the user. This would work for floors, but I'm not sure how to handle ceiling heights. A little box in major sectors where you input a number? Intervening sectors, like stairways, could be automated to split the difference between major sector heights (sorta like auto-stairbuilding in some WAD editors).
Why yes, I *do* have lots of strange ideas, why do you ask? :)
