I really want to aim more on the View tab, actually I want to make it so that you can make the complete KMP without ever looking at the properties tab, but it'll still be available if you want to change some fast settings. Stuff I'm working on is Advanced Drawing, which enables you to draw normal dots, lines (3D, so you can set a start Y value and a end Y value), circles (2D, each dot will have the same Y value), and a follow-me tool will allow you to draw a route with points (almost) equally separated from each other (if you don't move your mouse too fast).

The next version of KMP Cloud has been planned, this time it'll be part of a little editor platform. From this platform you can load other programs to edit your files. This platform (Im not sure which name I'll choose for it, the codename is WiiCloud), is able to open SZS files and cooperate with other programs made for it or let another program open it in a temporary file. This is similar to SZS Explorer, but it allows you to actually load the temporary files back in without saving it to a new location. The platform will contains a simple extendable script language, for KMP Cloud it'll be extended to work together with the UI. But now on to the actual features of KMP Cloud v2.
  
The controls of the View tab will change a bit, instead of using right-drag to move the view, you now use the middle button (scroll wheel) or an alternate combo of CTRL + right-drag for those who don't have a middle button. This way the right button is free for another purpose, you can right-click on a dot and a small window will appear in which you can change the settings on that dot, in this window is also an option to delete the dot. Right-clicking on a place where is no dot, a window will appear for modification of the current selection (the window won't appear if nothing is selected).
+
All features found in v1 will make a return, except the plugin feature, because KMP Cloud itself is a plugin for the platform it runs on. If you want to add functionality to KMP Cloud you should make a plugin for the platform and reference KMP Cloud, but most custom functionality can be created using the new script language. Really new features include dropping (which is already in other programs), multi-selecting like you're used to with Windows, Splines and the ability to save half-finished KMP files as XML file (so it saves a textual representation of the internal format).
  
Empty sections will be supported in v1.1, if you delete all points of a group, the group will also get deleted (if there is a reference to that reference will also get removed). If all groups are deleted an empty section will remain.
+
Splines or more specific, cubic splines are curves that represent a set of points. These points do not exist if you create them and will be created if you save the kmp file. The spline data is stored with a set of key positions and a parameter that sets the amount of points between each key position, it further also contains a string with script data that will be executed if you save the kmp file. In this format it will also be saved to the XML file, that means your spline stays intact when using the XML format.
 
 
My other thing is to improve OBJ importing, I already made a feature that enables you to import your course_model OBJ file as background, you can set the color of different polygons and an auto-settings feature sets colors depending on the polygon names.
 
  
 +
Note that this new version of KMP Cloud is not gonna be released anytime soon, think of spring next year or something if it's not later (I'm just as bad with esitmating releases as MrBean and Chadderz...). But instead of khacker I will continue with the first version while developing the next, allowing bug fixes and features Ive made in the new KMP Cloud to be implemented in the old.

Version 2.0

The next version of KMP Cloud has been planned, this time it'll be part of a little editor platform. From this platform you can load other programs to edit your files. This platform (Im not sure which name I'll choose for it, the codename is WiiCloud), is able to open SZS files and cooperate with other programs made for it or let another program open it in a temporary file. This is similar to SZS Explorer, but it allows you to actually load the temporary files back in without saving it to a new location. The platform will contains a simple extendable script language, for KMP Cloud it'll be extended to work together with the UI. But now on to the actual features of KMP Cloud v2.

All features found in v1 will make a return, except the plugin feature, because KMP Cloud itself is a plugin for the platform it runs on. If you want to add functionality to KMP Cloud you should make a plugin for the platform and reference KMP Cloud, but most custom functionality can be created using the new script language. Really new features include dropping (which is already in other programs), multi-selecting like you're used to with Windows, Splines and the ability to save half-finished KMP files as XML file (so it saves a textual representation of the internal format).

Splines or more specific, cubic splines are curves that represent a set of points. These points do not exist if you create them and will be created if you save the kmp file. The spline data is stored with a set of key positions and a parameter that sets the amount of points between each key position, it further also contains a string with script data that will be executed if you save the kmp file. In this format it will also be saved to the XML file, that means your spline stays intact when using the XML format.

Note that this new version of KMP Cloud is not gonna be released anytime soon, think of spring next year or something if it's not later (I'm just as bad with esitmating releases as MrBean and Chadderz...). But instead of khacker I will continue with the first version while developing the next, allowing bug fixes and features Ive made in the new KMP Cloud to be implemented in the old.
