I have a question:
Where are the text files saved, when you choose "Quicksave as text"?
I can't seem to find them anywhere.
And a simple request:
When you have a "return null" somewhere in your script, the exscriptor does not add an additional one to the end of the script.
However if this is missing and the game does not exit the script "using" one of your returns, the game will crash.
The solution would be to simply add "return null" to any script at the end, if the last command isn't a return command.
Greetings,
ScRaT

They're supposed to be stored in the main script directory. However, it seems that the code actually stored it in the current working directory, which in some cases may be different. I've updated it so it always stores them in the scripts directory now.

Easily done. It should work better now.

I've added a third 'Find scripts' command to the Tools menu that searches recursively for all called scripts. It takes a little longer obviously but it seems to work okay (and I hope I've made sure it won't get stuck in a loop). I've also extended these functions to include all types of call commands (there are 25 now included) and also, when in recursive mode, it will ignore .pcks and the 'hidden' ! scripts.
As usual, latest version is available here.

V1.2.23 should include the new commands. Let me know if I missed any out though!

Hi!
Firstly can I say a massive thanks for taking the time to do this editor, as a newbie scriptor, I can say that this has made learning the language so much easier. Thank you for your efforts on this.
Secondly I have I have a query, all my wares show up in French, I can work around it with my rusty french (wish I studied more of the French language at school ) but I would love to have it english. I have the options set to use the english option and I am using the latest version but no dice, just see these wonderful french wares. Any ideas what I am doing wrong ?
Thank you again.
Regards,
Sneakers.

Glad you find the program useful! As for your problem, I'm not sure why it's doing that; if you've set the option to use English then it shouldn't be loading the French language files (unless they've been renamed somehow). You can check the config.dat file and make sure it says "language = 44" in there somewhere; other than that, I don't know what to suggest. Have you modded the game at all, e.g. unpacked any cat/dat files? You could also try reinstalling Exscriptor (or - as a last resort - both the game and Exscriptor).
Hope that helps! If not, let me know.

Thanks Whimsy for your reply.
I checked the config.dat but it is pointing to language 44.
I do though have a modded game, I have a mod I choose from the main menu X3TC startup screen (MARS) and I have two installed as fake patches (Ys GUI Mod and Complex Cleaner), I am thinking this might have something to do with Y's GUI Mod though not sure how (MARS and Complex Cleaner are so popular that I suspect somebody else would have noticed it by now). Interestingly the in-game script editor shows the
wares in english.
I am going to install a separate dev environment for X3TC so I should be able to work out if it is Y's then. Might not be for a week or so depending on RL, so I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again.
Regards,
Sneakers

Hi Whimsy,
just a minor bug report here:
Sometimes the Exscriptor creates a "return null" at the end of a script, even if there was already one. I don't know under which circumstances this bug appears, but I found various scripts with up to three "return null" at the and.
Other than that, everything works fine (luckily the bug with the windows overlapping I reported some time ago, does not appear on my Windows 7 Laptop).
Greetings,
ScRaT

I've not been able to recreate this yet - have you any more clues about when it happens? What were the ends of those scripts with 3 returns like? Was it just three returns in a row, for example, or were there spaces or empty lines between them etc?

Unfortunately I already corrected the scripts the bugs occured at. However, one thing I am sure about, is that there were always spaces between the "return null"s - clearly a sign of the Exscriptor's work. =)
As soon as I encounter another script with multiple "return null"s I'll report.
Greetings,
ScRaT
EDIT: Do you somehow flag the script, that already have a "return null" at the end? Because I have the feeling, that this bug appears, when I save a script I previoulsy opened in the internal SE. Maybe this removes the flag (if there is one).

hello whimsy:
here is a test script for you.
test.rar
cut line 122 threw 127; paste to line 132 and now save. you'll have 2 return nulls at the end of the file.

At the minute it just checks to see if the last non-empty line (i.e. the last one with text) is a return; if not, it adds one. But clearly there must be something wrong there somewhere...

Thanks draffut, this should help a lot. I'll take a look and see if I can track the problem down.

Okay, I think I managed to find and fix the problem. As usual, it was something trivial and idiotic.
The new version should work okay, but if it still happens, let me know.
