Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 In the topic "Mac Editor v1.2", Tridash gave a link to a Windows version of the new Mac Editor in his post "Re: Mac Editor v1.2 [Re: Sylae] #245186 - Sep 13, 2011 8:56 AM". The link concerned is: http://redsaurus.net/blades/multiwindows_sortofworks.zip Here is a screenshot: Tridash editor screenshot I don't think the screenshot brings out its full appeal. I went into Windows Explorer and renamed the editor "MultiBoA3DEditor.exe" so I could use it alongside my other editors. At first glance it seems functional enough, I will have to check all features on it. It has crashed a bit so be careful until we know whether there is a problem or not.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Two versions of the 3D Editor as altered by me. Relatively conventional 3D Editor: BoA3DEditor.zip 3D Editor that shows all terrain types at once. Hence does not need the scrollbar at all: VariantBoA3DEditor.zip (For the time being the Variant is the same as the conventional version.)

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Mine work well enough, but I don't write scenarios so there may be bugs there for all I know. Sortofworks editor may or may not work but it sure has an impressive display. If it is buggy use another editor for the actual writing.

Kyshakk Koan tridash Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've been meaning to work on that for a while, I think it breaks some shortcuts and stuff...it was really just an attempt to get something that worked. I'll try and get a newer version done by either next weekend or the one after (sorry about the long time-frame :| ), if there seem to be problems with the one linked to let me know so I can see what needs to be fixed.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Okay, tried playing with Tridash's(?) editor; drawing in the outdoors mode (zoomed out, 2D) quickly led to error beeps whenever I placed new floors, and eventually the program became unresponsive.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 New editor is looking good so far. To access the source code for this version you will need to go into the Repo-Browser and look in the folder http://svn.hallsofchaos.net/3D_BoA_Editor_Win/branches/multi-windows "fix for "resize outdoors" sometimes breaking things" Good, that problem has existed ever since the resize outdoors function was created for the Windows 3D Editor.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Backspace seems to work okay on my Windows version. I used the Backspace shortcut for another purpose, deleting the currently selected object, when there are two or more objects on the same space. Shortcut seems not to have caused trouble on my version. New scenario folder: would be handled by the create new scenario function, easy enough to fix. Have it created in a new folder in the Scenarios folder. New folder is named after the scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah, Tridash and I tested this, and it works okay in your versions, but not his(?) version, which I'm using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan tridash Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It seems like the backspace problem was present before my changes (in r89 but not r1...now to find where it got introduced :| ), it looks like something odd is happening with the input code, I'll see if I can track the problem down. edit: a related problem seems to be that using 'tab' when in a dialogue window toggles 2d/3d as well as doing what it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 On my version of Tridash's new Editor the Backspace shortcut seems to work okay. I downloaded his code and compiled it myself. I can backspace text in signs in the normal way. Ditto, I had no apparent problem with the Tab key. Pressing the = button will de-select any item, you could try that before using the backspace key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Okay, so I opened Tridash's editor (the latest version), and attempted to make a new scenario, but was unable to use backspace to delete text. I then placed a sign, and was unable to, even after pressing "=". Literally all I'd pressed at this point was the backspace key. All I'd clicked on was the relevant commands to make a scenario, open it, and place a sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Problems that you reported are in the uploaded version of his 3D Editor, not in the source code! (Cause of problem exists in his compiler?!) I will upload a version I compiled myself. (No longer needed.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan tridash Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks for taking a look at that Ishad Nha..currently I'm using visual studio express 08 to compile, will have to work out why it's behaving strangely. edit: ctrl-h and backspace seem to be doing the same thing...so when there's an accelerator for ctrl-h backspace's not working. no idea why it's only happening in visual studio. edit again!: ctrl-h and backspace have the same ascii code, so changing from: Code: "^H", 113, ASCII, NOINVERT to: Code: "H", 113, VIRTKEY, CONTROL, NOINVERT seems to solve the problem - it must be a difference in how resources are compiled in visual studio could you check if that kind of change still works in your compiler Ishad Nha? if so i'll change all of them to be like that.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 "ctrl-h and backspace seem to be doing the same thing" That really is mixed up, the two shortcuts do wholly different things and are defined in different source files. How does Visual Studio do that? Yes, the new phrasing you suggested for Ctrl-H does work. I compiled with Bloodshed Dev C++, it was a straight C++ source code. Maybe there is an idiosyncracy in your compiler. Best idea is to download Dev C++ and use it, at least for this project. I am left wondering how Visual Studio screwed up when Bloodshed Dev C++ did not. I am also left wondering what else Visual Studio might foul up. Rather than rewriting the code to match your compiler, get a compiler that matches your code! Dev C++ is freeware too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 This is looking absolutely great Tridash! Thanks for all of the hard work. Sorry I've been totally useless for the last couple of months; I had a big bi-annual work meeting a couple of weeks ago which necessitated a big push to get stuff ready. Now that I have some breathing room I hope to pick up my activities around here. (Of course I told myself I'd start last week, and then I spent all of my spare time rewriting a piece of software for work.) At the moment all of this work is still in the Windows multi-window branch, right? How close would you say we are to being able to merge it to the trunk, slap a version number on it, and call it a release? (I'd really like to be able to give the Windows version better treatment on my downloads page.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan tridash Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, it's still all in the multi-window branch. I think for Chivalrous Chitrach I'd (at a minimum) like to make the interface look and function the same as the mac version (i.e. the new tools palette and properly recalculating 2d view size) and bring over the item/monster placement like floors etc. from the mac version. Probably also some kind of double-buffering for the main window so it doesn't flicker when resizing. If I don't break anything with that, I guess I can clean up the code for that version a little and merge it back to trunk. edit: if you're a windows-using scenario designer please do use this and complain about it if something's broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I just took a look at this for the first time, and I must say it's looking awesome. Do have one complaint though, when I minimize the editor and then restore it all I can see on the main window is the background. To fix it I have to close the editor and reopen it.

Kyshakk Koan tridash Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Unfortunately it looks like I broke that in the latest version will definitely be fixed for next version; I've ported copy + pasted the automagically resizing 2d view thing over from mac version now edit: so here's the done/todo so far, will update this: done large/small 2d views automagically resize now with the window 'realistic' 3d view now has the draw distance changing with the window size started to bring tool handling in line with mac version fix broken restore from minimise tooltips should now show properly when editing outdoors fixed flickering in main window moved drawing mode change buttons to tiles window and view mode change buttons to main window allow sounds to be turned off via edit menu fix misplaced 'OK' normalised spray behaviour with mac version todo bring tool handling in line with mac version (port) place monsters/items from tiles window like floors/terrain (port) reshuffle tools so like in mac version (port) resizable tiles window (kind-of-port) resize town / delete current town (port) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm really liking the new editor. It's very nice being able to resize the window so I can see more of the terrain. One little quirk I've noticed though while editing the outdoors. When you hover over the option to set town entry boundaries, it says "place terrain script" even though it is still just the town entry.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Both Functions in the fourth line work properly outdoors, from what I can see, it is just that the tool tips descriptions are wrong. There is also a misplaced OK near the bottom of certain dialog screens like those created by the two functions. Probably an artifact of compiling with Visual Basic, I have no idea of what the solution is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
