Witchie NL Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 Jezus how about implenting MS Excel and Powerpoint aswell? God we ask for some text to map expantion and you implent MS Word in it? GJ! Wont hear me complain!
Samapico Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 hey, we're trying to make the ultimate map editor here... that means it will eventually even be able to make some coffee to keep you awake while you make your map.that also means it probably won't be finished by 2045 and will still be worked on by 2 crazy old men.
Samapico Posted September 21, 2006 Report Posted September 21, 2006 I just thought about something... Would it be possible to completly control a hidden textbox ; so that when you type stuff in picpreview, it inserts / types / moves cursor / whatever in that hidden textbox. Then, when it is time to render the typed tiles, just read each character inthe text box, and generate these tiles...I mean like... p!@#$%^&* each keypress event directly to the text boxI've tried just calling the TileTextData_KeyPress event with the given key... doesnt work at all That would make alot of things MUCH easier If that cant work, i was thinking using a string that holds each characters and do the same thing... but then, for inserting chars, it would need to split at each chr(13), check current X/Y cursor position depending on the boundaries of the textbox, insert a character at the correct row/column... hmmm yeah that should do it... I'm kind of tired so there may be some super-simple way I'm not thinking about....bleh Commiting to SVN and signing off... good night
Witchie NL Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 i didnt uderstand half of it. but do it...
Drake7707 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 well you if you type on the picpreview_keypress event, only cache the letters typed when a selection is active, and the left top boundaries are in screen visible. Else you'd replace every shortcut that was previously !@#$%^&*igned to a letter, like G for grid etc. btw until 2045, iiiiiiiii don't think so. DCME is already on lower priority here, and it won't certainly go back up again. I mean, come on , DCME is almost 1 year old (15th october), it's my longest project ever. There isn't so much to do in it anymore, nothing that you can't handle. I might redo the undo/redo to work better with selection but that'll be about it (aside from some minor tweaks or so).
Samapico Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 the community needs a DCME with LVZ and eLVL, it's our mission! and the shortcut problem is already fixed, in picpreview_keypress, there's:If tiletext.active then call tiletext.keypress(keycode)else [ all the code that was there]
Samapico Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 god!@#$%^&* I hate how MS visual basic CRASHES with infinite loops... I mean... the IDE could ATLEAST still respond or something... grrr ... I just lost my textbox emulator :'( ........and now I can't open any vb project... wtfmost form files and the user control file give me this error when trying to load:I can load a couple of files individually, but if I try to open the project, or some files individually, it crashes...I hate these school computers.
Witchie NL Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 wtf is that for a language?I dont understand !@#$%^&* of it
Samapico Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 i call that french Bonjour mon ami, comment ça va?
Drake7707 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 errr sama use ctrl+break, to pause the ide and i don't think a lot of ppl care so much about DCME .
Samapico Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 ctrl+break... you can be sure i'll remember that I know not "that" many people care about it... but still... I'm having fun doing it, plus I learn at the same time... So I'll probably continue working on DCME until it gets LVZ support ... That way , I might be able to finish that !@#$%^&* map I started like 2 years ago... CLT was way too slow to put all the lvz's I needed on it
Witchie NL Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 comment ça va? I had french for 2 years at school. i should be able to give an awnser to that. But french sucks so i forgot it right away. (I know what it means. " How do you do?")
a dead fish Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 and i don't think a lot of ppl care so much about DCME . hrmph... I think you'd probably be surprised...
Samapico Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 File: dcme_v107_withsrc.zipDescription: dcme - Older Version of Drake's Map Editor - With SRCDownloads: 821 Size: 267KB The first time I saw that number I must say I was impressed It's harder to keep track of the number of users now because of the auto-update system; and it seems it is not possible to know how many times the file was downloaded from Drake's server.
Drake7707 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 maybe i can link it to somewhere else where i can see stats ? Only don't know where :/
RiiStar Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Posted September 24, 2006 u know u could record the number in a flat-file database...everytime they download the update in ur queries to ur server make it open say stats.txt and take the number inside then + 1 and rewrite/overwrite the old entry... then its simple to either look at that file to see or write a php/asp script to show it or even better (imo if u have a sql server do it via sql)
Drake7707 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 well it isn't MY server, it's webspace from my university that every student has.
RiiStar Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Posted September 24, 2006 Well then http://dcme.sscentral.com is a good idea as a permanent home for dcme and its files I can take care of that for you if u request the hosting from swft
Samapico Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 there are still a lot of bugs to fix so we cant make it an official release...but here's something for those who can't wait
Witchie NL Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 cool i guess ill wait for the official release before my map gets corrupt or something
Samapico Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 i doubt that would happen.. and if it does happen, it would have happened with the official version anyway ...and dont be surprised, when you type stuff with it, your radar gets filled with numbers... that was to help me debug stuff, dont bother , radar will get refreshed afterwards
Drake7707 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 i just wonder what the textbox in the tool options bar functions ?
