"event editor" *Tooltips supported!*

Post by appleide »

http://www.filecloud.com/user/files.php ... _id=685727go here for latest.
http://www.freewebs.com/appleide/This%2 ... %20for.htm For help on how to use. AND SCREENSHOTS.


NOW WITH OPTIONAL TOOLTIPS! Allows you, whereever you are to tell you what kind of data value the key for tags are looking for.
I cannot use campgen for reasons I prefer to remain undisclosed. So, for my own convenience, I started this 'event editor' whose main purpose is to produce an event's wml. made with realbasic 5 and its my first realbasic project too, so do not be surprised at some minor bugs here and there, but please report them (not the bug where when dialog comes up everything looks like messed up though, its realbasic 5.0's bug).

It is mostly finished. It currently has the following features:
using filters, actions, ifs, whiles.

Hasn't got yet:
other types of filters (eg, special_filter and filter_second)
some miscellaneous tags

I plan to:
import wml event <- hardest imo
extend to a scenario editor! :twisted: (j/k)

tips (you will know what I am talking about when you use it):
when creating a direct action, if one of the keys of the action is "{filter}", then on its 'variable' enter the number for your filter, as shown by the filter list.

before composing wml, close all triangles in filter and direct action sections.

Also just to reiterate,save function is not completed.



I want to ask if it is comparable to Campgen's event editor. :)

Windows (have not been tested, as I do not have windows machine, I simply clicked 'compile for windows'): ZIPPED: http://www.filecloud.com/user/files.php ... _id=685727

Please comment! Is it anywhere near Campgen's event editor? What am I missing besides the planned features?

Downloaded on MacOS 10.4.7; after launching (double click) I'm asked what kind of application I want to use to open the document :shock:
Shouldn't this be an application?
Any help appreciated.

Nice project, hope you keep it up. Thanks

The file must have gotten corrupted when I uploaded it. :? Both places, in fact. I removed the freewebs link (it has so much traffic I have hard time getting to file manager.) I uploaded .zip file to filecloud and it worked fine. Thanks for Comment!

It works! Or atleast it opens. When I went to Actions and then clicked "select" for Change terrain, I got "Sorry, [terrain_mask] has not been implemented yet," like ten times in a row. I wasn't really trying to accomplish anything; just playing around with it.

It has potential. Keep working!

:D

Windows version works, but I still think typing is better.

Right now, yes, typing is easier, but later, it may be better than typing. It will allow looping in and out and through it self, (eg, with Ifs, and Whiles, and Events, and And ifs), and will allow wml newbies to make events without flicking back and forth between the text editor and wesnoth wiki page. (I 've finished the first but some bug + the autosaving feature put me back 5 hours to my backup file)

I don't know if there is a later though... RealBasic 5.0 is so buggy... I have discovered some maximum number of popup window bug, everytime I create a popup window, another one disappears. :x I am not going to shell out $1000+ for Realbasic 2006! I'll compile what I've got as soon as I find some way to circumvent this bug. It's going to take two-three days (It would probably mean huge structural overhaul, splitting the application into more windows to reduce the number of popups used in each..., and I've only used like 20 or so.)

EDIT: I found one of my other back up files, it is more efficient, but the "ifs" have not been completed yet, also, you can see some places where I have implemented features to help me debug, (eg, some dialog popping up containing only a number. this version called '0.0.3'.)

DONE IT!! I backported the real basic project to rb 3.5.2, and did all my coding there, then loaded the file back into rb 5.0 to use a single "dragreorder" command, and compiled in rb 5.0, so, no more bugs !(hopefully, but the IDE bugs have been overcome). I finished the event editor as well (minus the tooltips). I will write instructions later.

http://www.filecloud.com/user/files.php ... _id=685727 Pick (0.1a).

The interface can also use a facelift later on. Some tags like (terrain_mask) and (special_filter) is not yet implemented, most of these are within the 'miscellaneous' section.

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Tooltips version uploaded! (0.2) Go get it now!!! I need people to send me bug reports! As many as you can!!!

http://www.filecloud.com/user/files.php ... _id=685727

Where ever you are tooltips will tell you what data value you need to enter for the relevant key.

Double click on a key in the table and tooltips will show.

If you find a tooltip you are not satisfied with, post here and I will (if it is better) replace it.

Tell me if this way of implementing it is a good way, please?

Thanks in advance! :)
