Mr. Bear, is AP support something you plan on implementing? When users ask me this question, I usually crap on my desk. But I didn't notice it in your OP, but it does seem like a logical progression.

Is the difference between the versions just a text file?

yeah i am planning to add AP support, just not right away. the commands are stored in a kind of text file and adding them should be easy but finding every little piece of code thats affected will be annoying. I've added the ability to load/compile AP scripts in Beta II (Update 1) but obviously any AP commands will be loaded as 'Unrecognised Command'.

Congrats for the release!

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

Sorry for the minor wardrobe malfunction folks, this bug is now fixed in Beta II (Update 1)

[X2-Illuminatus]

Congrats on the release.

However, Beta 2 crashes at startup when "loading language strings...".

[ScRaT_GER]

Don't hurt me! I'm just a poor little bear... i'm trying to get something else sorted.

Check your PMs.

However, Beta 2 crashes at startup when "loading language strings...".

Same here. The error seems to be coming from the X-Studio.Logic.dll.

[mr.bear]

@ScratGet / Illuminatus -- I think I've found the problem.. I'm fixing it now.

(ScratGer - i got no PMs?)



EDIT: okay, this is the type of bug that requires several cigarettes to fix. brb.

also: I just noticed the VS justInTime debugger can launch itself from windows and find the source code automatically - awesome! (i never clicked 'debug' when an app crashes before)

[ScRaT_GER]

(ScratGer - i got no PMs?)

Oh, right. I sent it to myself. xD
Look again.

[jeroll3d]

Thanks.

[mr.bear]

@jeroll3d - the hosting issues should now be fixed thanks to ScRaT_GER, who has let me host it on his server!

I've tweaked it so it only loads game data (and also resolves external script calls) from PCKs at the moment. Extracted PCKs take precedence over those inside catalogues. I'll add code at some point to search for TXT or XML files if no PCK file is found.

EDIT: I've just noticed something that might crash the program on startup if you've already run it before. if this happens then please delete the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BearWare\X-Studio"

The download link you provided doesn't work because of FTP - you have to use this one (HTTP):

http://x-studio.fbnz.de/X-Studio.Beta.2 ... y.2012.rar

I'll try out Update 2 now.
EDIT: Still the same error when loading the language strings.

Cheers for the info about the link, I've updated the download.

i'm a bit confused you're still experiencing that bug, i'll have to try fixing it tomorrow

Maybe you could modify the program, so that it delivers more helpful error messages (or any at all). Maybe, as a first measure, put a big try-catch block around your main (its written in C++ or C# iirc) and print any exception.

[mr.bear]

unfortunately its written in C which doesn't support exceptions. could you post your 'Console.log' please? (created in the x-studio folder) that should give me some idea of where the problem is.

there is vast amount of error checking btw, ive just missed something somewhere.. .
ive put a lot of work into the error handling - you'll see what i mean when you see the error dialog! im gutted its crashing like this

EDIT: ive just read that windows provides its own 'structured exeption handling' which can be used from any language - i'll give that a go.

[ScRaT_GER]

Unfortunately it only says the following:

Code: Select all

X-Studio Editor (Beta II)
------------------------
Loading game data from folder 'C:\Spiele\X3 Terran Conflict\'...

Not very helpful...

unfortunately its written in C

oO
Wow, not that I don't like C, but it seems to be an odd choice for programmming an IDE in. Kudos to you, sir!

okay at least that tells me its still a problem loading your language files. Does the progress dialog say "loading master language file" or "loading supplementary language files" when it crashes?

ill put a lot more information in the console for the next update.

thanks i wanted a challenge.

What files does it need from the X3 directory for this program to work? I am trying to make this work on my USB without having to copy the entire X3 directroy across.
Good work BTW it is great right now.

EDIT: If I already have one argument whenever I try to make a second one it just isn't made.

Here is an image. When ever I click the ok button for the new script argument dialog box it closes the box and nothing is added to the argument list.

EDIT 2:Another problem. Whenever I try to change the for what script I want to select, nothing happens, it just stays on the latest loaded script.

hey jack, thanks for the feedback, its appreciated!

EDIT 1: I have the same problem, I'll fix it now.

Code: Select all

BUG:005. New script arguments are not actually created

EDIT 2: Do you mean "if you click here, nothing happens"?

What happens if you click here instead?

Code: Select all

BUG:006. Sometimes you cannot switch between documents

[jack775544]

Yes the window menu works but the tabs don't.

[mr.bear]

ok. i'm fixing both of them now...

EDIT: i've fixed the switching document bug.


EDIT 2: I've fixed the argument bug, but i've found a few more - i'm fixing them now.

EDIT 3: i've fixed all the argument bugs

[jack775544]

A very weird problem is happening. Whenever I close and reopen a script all the variables change around.

So a script that is supposed to look like

Code: Select all

Script j754.create.ship
Version: 1
for Script Engine Version: 50

Description
This creates a ship at a random place in a select sector
Arguments
0: Race , Var/Race , 'The race of the new ship if random'

2: Sector , Var/Sector , 'The sector the ship is made in' 
3: Ship , Var/Ship , 'The ship type if specific' 
4: Number , Number , 'The number of ships you want created'

So for some reason the position of all the variables change postions.

Also whenever I try to view the dodgy script in Internet Explorer all the source code is grey.
Normal Colour and code
Dodgy Colour and code

[mr.bear]

yeah the scripts won't display properly in a web browser, I'm not planning to fix that soon I'm afraid. do you often view scripts in a web browser?

Code: Select all

BUG:001 - 'Syntax is not highlighted when viewing scripts in a web-browser'

I've seen the variable-switching bug before but i thought i'd fixed it! I'll have a look at it now.

Code: Select all

BUG:007 - Variables switch places with each other after saving and loading a script

[ScRaT_GER]

Does the progress dialog say "loading master language file" or "loading supplementary language files" when it crashes?

Neither. It just says: "Loading language strings"
