Goxel - a fork for AoS map making

Hey everyone,

Many of you will know of Goxel, a voxel editing program that can handle AoS maps, or be used for modelling.

Late last year, while myself and Influx were mapping, I decided to fork the source code and begin making some updates to it as we encountered things we wanted to change. I had been releasing these directly into the Voxel Cartography Discord, and having made a tiny recent fix I realised that I should (A) start using GitHubโ€™s release feature to share them, and (B) advertise it outside of our small server.

So here it is: https://github.com/GrandyB/goxel/releases

Main changes (as of 0_1h):

๐Ÿ†• FPV/First person camera ('#' hotkey toggle)
Full control over it is in the Camera category; toggle button for it, with settings such as fly speed, FOV, and manually being able to set the coordinates.
Arrow keys for direction.
Page Up/Down for vertical movement.
Right (or middle mouse) click and hold for "looking" (bare in mind you can't look and move at the same time for now).
๐Ÿ†• FOV setting for regular camera (separate to FOV for FPV)
๐Ÿ”€ Rotational camera has a higher default FOV as part of making the transition to FPV less jarring; hopefully not too much of a problem - if it is, let me know. Can alter it yourself now anyway
๐Ÿ†• Importing now adds the voxels into a new layer; this new layer is named after the file
๐Ÿ”€ kvx no longer has bounding box on import
๐Ÿ†• Colour picker in tools panel is now the full colour picker from the popup (also reminder that holding CTRL while using a block adding tool briefly toggles to the colour picker for easy access!)
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Colour picker correctly steals mouse inputs, thus no longer draws underneath its popup while picking
๐Ÿ”€ Heightmap and colourmaps now export using .bmp, so they can be fed right into "bildramer's heightmap converter" (still need to specify .bmp in the file name)
๐Ÿ†• Width/height/depth of brush
๐Ÿ†• Added hotkey settings for brush modes (add/sub/paint are U/I/O) and planes (<> for move it up/down, / for visibility). Can change in settings.
๐Ÿ†• Height/colourmap export (file > export)
๐Ÿ”€ Layer pane display always visible on the right
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ ByteBit's AoS .vxl file fix

Can find me in the Voxel Cartography Discord - I will check here a bit but itโ€™s easier to reach me there or in alohaโ€™s aos-mapmaking channel. I doubt Iโ€™ll put much more time into it (only came on to fix a tiny issue with it, previous update was last December). Hopefully itโ€™ll be useful to some of you mappers out there.
