Hi, I am new here.
I'm trying to find a map editor, and the best option so far is to use Blender + export as COLLADA.
Any suggestions/other options, please?
Best map editor?
Re: Best map editor?
Maybe take a look at https://irrrpgbuilder.sourceforge.net? It's open source and it's developer is active in the forum. Thought still in alpha.
Or write your own... I did that in my H-Craft game (https://github.com/mzeilfelder/hc1), if you search the sources there is an editor.cpp/.h and gui_editor.cpp/.h which is pretty much it. That editor is not every good, just showing that it's not that complicated to write one. I did most of that in the first 2-3 weeks and it was a nice way to learn about the engine before I started with the real game.
edit: There's also still irrEdit: https://www.ambiera.at/downloads/irrEdit-1.5.zip but no idea how well it works with current Irrlicht (same author who founded Irrlicht, but probably no longer in development)
