For the record, the English word is spelt "editor".

rofl
I don't know why, but i always spelt it with an e.. I guess its because i pronounced it "edit-er" not "edit-or". Thanks for caching it. Fixing it in the program now and topic title...

Also, i have been working on the User Interface. Scren:

when you are done would you mind releasing the source code?

If i would do so, may i ask what would you do with?

But for now, it will be closed source.

I am currently learning to program, and I think that reading through the source code would be helpful.

Small Update:

I am working on the error checker. I have it working up to when you correct it.

Correct Text:
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",

Incorrect Text (common):
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl"

What it does:

Hidden/Spoiler:

I still have to fix some things. The text on the bottom need to go back to "No Errors." and the red is does not go way after you fix it. Also, if you save while it has an error, i will have a popup saying "There is an error. Do you what to save (filename)? NOTE: if you save it then munge, your mission will most likely will crash the game."

Any comments?

Sorry but, whats the difference between the two?

Sounds like a good idea though, especially for inexperienced scripters, who don't really know how to add punctuation properly....

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl"
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",

The comma.

Nice, this will be very useful, commander.

Lol, i think i'm gonna need to use this spell checker. Can't wait for the release...

@Darth_Spiderpig: thanks.

no, not a spell checker, an error checker

This is sounding better and better by the day. Will save a lot of time coding campaigns, but then again, people that dont know how to code are gonna try and use it and wont ever really learn, so when a problem arises they wont have a clue what they did wrong.

501st_commander · Post by **501st_commander** » Wed May 05, 2010 10:49 am

I do plan on adding a "dedug help" popup of some kind. It will somehow tell you whats wrong line by line until there is no errors. The 0.5 beta release will be minimal. Mainly a test to see what operating systems it works on, and if it has any bugs. 1.0 release will be full. Hardly any bugs. Everything working, help docs, and for people who are just starting - a bit of lua docs (pm me if you want to help with this).

Edit:
Ok, the 0.5 relese my be longer. I am having troble with the syntax highlighter code. It crashes Visual Studio when i add it to the program.

Edit:
Stuped error EVER! fixed. Syntax highlighter now works. Expect screen soon.

Edit:

Update!
The syntax hilighter is working now!

Hidden/Spoiler:

It updates as you type, and when you open a file.
Suggestions? (colors, additional keyword, etc.)

501st_commander · Post by **501st_commander** » Fri May 14, 2010 11:05 pm

This will possibly be the last update before the 0.5 release.

I have been working on it trying to get it done within this month. I have lots of new features now than i did from the last post. I still have to get a few things working. Quickclick bar, and one new feature.

Feature List:

Now, you can make a project. You don't have to go to the scripts folder every time you edit a lua. (has some bugs)
Notify Icon on taskbar - So you don't have to open it all the time.
Options - You can enable and disable some of the features you dont want. They are:
- Make this program default for opening Luas
  Create a project and manage them
  see a list of syntax highlighter sensitive words
  Enable or disable keyword, comment, string or integer highlighting
  manage the modtools directory location, and the type.
  Import scripts for reading. So if you need a ***c_eli.lua script, you can open it through the program
  Enable and disable the notify icon.
  Automatically open the last opened file.
  Show or hide the Quick Click Bar.
  Enable or disable the syntax highlighter all together.

I hope to have the error checker done my 1.5. You can go through hell to get it to work properly. Well, i'll post screens soon. 'Till then, please post comments.

oooh. Can't wait!

Just a quick question, Do you select a template lua(eli, con, hunt, ctf, etc.) inside the program and save it into the map you want, or do you load a pre-existing lua?

501st_commander · Post by **501st_commander** » Sat May 15, 2010 7:39 pm

you select a pre-existing lua from the TEMPLATE or space_tempalte folder, then the program will auto remove the @#$ in the file to what your projects name is (aka: OOO).

501st_commander · Post by **501st_commander** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:58 pm

Version 0.5 has been released. Please post any bugs in this topic.

I will psot the 1.0 list of things soon.

Edit:
1.0 Feature List
This list will contain what will be in the next version

MDI (Multi Document Interface) - Open more than one lua at a time
Better auto hide project panel

Support for the 3.5 framework (4.0 is recommended though)
Code comparator - popup of codes with the letters you typed in them
First Version of the error checker
Faster syntax highlighter
More customizable Interface

How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed

To determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed, locate the %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder. To open this folder, you can paste this address into a Windows Explorer address bar. The following folders contain the released versions of the .NET Framework:

v3.5

v3.0

v2.0.50727

v1.1.4322

v1.0.3705

Note If you see other folders that have a vN.N.NXXXX format, they may contain beta versions or pre-released versions of the .NET Framework. Those versions are outside the scope of this article.

To determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed on a computer, follow these steps:

1.Open any one of the folders in the previous list.

2.Right-click the Mscorlib.dll file, and then click Properties.

3.Click the Version tab, and then note the file version.

4.Use the previous list to determine which version of the .NET Framework is installed on the computer, and then click OK.

Repeat these steps for each version of the .NET Framework on the computer.

Thank you.
