Very bad news. I send a copy to some friends to test before i get too far in the beta, and it crashes. So, after some searching in the error. I i'll have to start over. Sorry. But it may be a while before i get it back to where it was. Sorry Everyone.
The beta testers will get to test all minor updates to see if it works on their computers when i get that far again.

You have to start over...? Well, I wish you good luck.

Do you think it's worth having a public beta on gametoast and seeing whose it does and doesn't work on?
Oh and if you're doing this just so people who haven't got the latest .NET framework, i wouldn't really worry about it and just keep going with your current version. I personally don't need it on the old frameworks since i got a new computer which can run it fine. If there are others who need this version, or you just want to use the older version anyway, don't let me stop you.
Good luck with this, and thanks for all the work you're putting into it.

You know, thats a good idea. You can Donwload it Here. If you test it, if it works or not, please post or PM me what it does so i can get a count. If it doesnt work, post the error also.
This version i restarted from 0.5. It uses the .NET framework 3.5 Client Profile. So then you would need 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 installed. I'll put on a poll to see what people would rather me do. I want a program that you wouldn't need to install a ton of other things for it to work. Depending on the poll, i may go back to 4.0 Client Profile. Its small compared to the full one, and it wouldn't need older versions.

Do whichever lets you further your development skills. Also, I hope you have your code under some type of version control system.

Framework version control system?

No, source control. Examples: SVN, Bazaar, Git, etc...
It tracks changes to your code so you can undo them later or so you can go back and see what you changed since some random time.

Don't bother with 4.0. You're not getting much new functionality, and odds are anything that's new relates to stuff you'll never use anyway. We're running 3.5 at work, and I see no reason to run 4.0.

I wanted to do 4.0CP because it's independent. 3.5CP needs the 2.0 framework installed to work. Whats good about the new 4.0 is its smaller that 3.5. So it wont take much room to install.

I will after i fix it
______
I was going though to code of the current version. I made some DLL changes to core and removed one that i made. What’s odd, is now it works on my moms computer, before it didn't. So i will send the changes out to the users that pre-beta tested it for the compatibility check (not the beta testers). If it works i dont have to start over, but i will make some major changes to the program if it does. Including BF1 support.

Taking a break from working on this since the big bad bug, willingly and not blame minecraft
I’ve been thinking what to do with this program, if I should continue building it in Visual Basic, or if I should program it in C#. How to get everything working right, what features should I have first, and the big one is.. What should I do for the syntax highlighter?
I found SciLexer, a programming language Lexer made by Scintilla (makers of SciTE). Thinking “YAY! I finally found something that I can use for the highlighter!”, but when I tried adding it, an error popped up. Digging in the source code, I found why. It’s programmed in C++ 6 not C++ .NET (HUGE difference between them), so I can’t use it. This put me back where I started.
But, this project isn’t dead; I’m in the state of what I should do now. If there are any C# or VB .NET programmers in this forum by any chance, and you think you could help, pm me. For the rest of the community, please post what features you want first (r1.0). Make some up, use other programs ideas (as long they don’t have any legal marks on them), I don’t care. I want to build a program that is useful, and what other people want.
So, I hope this sounded like an update.
Here is a list of features I was going to add in it:
Lua Syntax highlighter – If you don’t know what that is….
Multi Document interface - Have more than one lua open at a time
Project Support - open a lua right from the program, insted of going to the data_@#$'s script folder
Error Checker – Check for missing or wrong things
List of all SWBF2 commands
SWBF1 support

Yeppo, a good one at that, the only thing is it doesnt highlight strings ("astring")

And that is In VB right? I searched for that codebox object on google and found one for C (possibly#?) but not VB.

Its programmed in C# and its name is CodeTextBox. I added the .dll as a resorce and got it working. But i had to do everything in code, not in the designer.
