just posting an update for anyone who's watching. sorry for the delay, i wasn't happy with the program so i re-wrote it. all of it! plus my dad and grandad tried to die within a week of each other, so i have been busy busy busy.

i'm half way finished re-writing the final module, the user interface. I should have an unstable beta out in 2-3 weeks, then a series of (hopefully) more stable betas out in quick succession.

Was wondering what happened to you.

quick update: this is coming along awesomely! although i keep finding things to rewrite, so it'll be about two weeks til I get the beta out.

*looks sheepish*

I'm focusing on completing the script editing part first - that's probably all anyone is expecting anyway, and I want to get something out quickly!

I'll finish updating language file editing and browsing the game media next.

Here is a little piccy!

there is a good reason for the shockingly pink splitter bars, i'm just not telling you what it is.

instead of a thousand screenshots, i uploaded the help file to here. It's slightly out of date now but gives you alot of pictures.

I have downloaded it but when i try to open a page all I get is this.

Jack, I'm not really sure what you mean, you've posted a link to google but the file isn't hosted on google. I think you're saying the .chm displayed that link when you opened it - do you have any google software or toolbars installed on your PC by any chance?

I've recompiled the help file with a newer program and re-uploaded it. I've also fixed the screenshot above.

jack775544 · Post by **jack775544** » Mon, 2. Apr 12, 23:53

Sorry the link should be fixed now. If it still doesn't work all it show of a picture of the file you uploaded but whenever you click on a link down the side all it comes up with is
Navigation to the webpage was canceled
What you can try:
Retype the address

PS. If the link doesn't work try reopening it a couple of times and it should work

Thanks
Jack

EDIT: New version fixed my problem. Keep up the good work (and finish that piracy script faster

.)

Here's another screenshot. ive got the auto-complete working for variables, commands and game constants. it will display the entire list at first, then filter the list down as you type. you can see the game constants on the right and how ive handled the few name conflicts that i just couldn't fix.

sorry there's only one, its a bit of a pain uploading them to photobucket etc.

hey monsieur Cube,
i think you said something ages ago about version control, have you ever used bug tracking software? I was thinking about using one of these web based bug trackers but i googled them and they all seem unix based. do you know of any easy to use windows ones?

We use both Version Control & Bug Tracking software on the XTL Mod, but it really depends what you want

Mantis Bug Tracker Example

Apache Subversion (TortoiseSVN) Image (Excuse the black square)

Tortoise is capable of creating offline repositories, so you don't need a HTTP server to run one for yourself.

What Jack said.

Post by **Cycrow** » Sun, 29. Apr 12, 15:35

i usually use Mantis and Subversion like Jack
TortoiseSVN essentially gives you a windows front end to Subversion

intergrating it into an IDE can be pretty useful thou.
cuts out a few steps in version control

at work i use Visual Studtio with Team Foundation Server so its all nicely interegrated into the IDE

I like using VisualSVN with visual studio myself

Litcube · Post by **Litcube** » Sun, 29. Apr 12, 15:56

I use notepad.

Thanks for all the replies!

@Jack - Mantis looks good -- does it connect to your tortoise repository? i looked at their website beforehand and saw lots of references to servers and editing config files so i ran away...

@other jack + crycrow - i tried tortoise once and it crashed visual studio (grrr). are you saying you tortoise for the repository but visual SVN to integrate it into visual studio?

Post by **Cycrow** » Wed, 2. May 12, 23:31

i've not used Visual SVN

i just use tortoise and VS seperatly

Here's another screenshot.

Looks nice. I hope one can use a different color scheme though...

W.r.t to version control, you could also give Mercurial a try. A good introduction can be found here: http://hginit.com/
There's also a TortoiseHg (just like TortoiseSVN), but I simply use the command line, so don't know much about it.
