No arch tool anymore?

Hello,

In RC1 I found there is no arch tool icon, will Constructor cancel this function? www.fpschina.com/style_emoticons/default/no.gif

Due to time constraints we had to cut the Arch Tool for 1.0 =(

I can wait. ;)

I will try to find some other ways to make an arch in current version.

If there will be several arch prefabs released with 1.0, I think it will help the users a lot. ;)

No reason why someone couldn't write a new arch tool using the plugin interface for Constructor. That's exactly the sort of thing the plugin system is for!

Are there any tutorials to make a 3rd plugin? What kind of knowledge it might be needed?

How long will a 3rd party arch tool out after 1.0 released? I guess 1 month.

@Sun - Look in the constructor folder under "constructor\client\plug-ins". There are 4 examples in there. The plugins are all written in standard TorqueScript. You'll have to read the existing examples and sort of experiment to figure it out.
