Could you add a settings editor like SubSet is.

Just and extra link in edit->settings or something like that.

 

Then i think you need to start renaming it to DCFE (Drakes Continuum File Editor)

[🜲 Samapico]

look at the todo list pinned topic... been thinking about that for quite some time already

[Witchie NL]

yes? omg didnt knew that!

Now what your doing here? start working!

DCE (Drake Continuum Editor) its a full blown IDE (integrated development environment) now!

 

Samp and i have been discussing the CFG/Settings editor for awhile now

Since i stopped working on my own one.

well the D for Drake should change, sama did as much work on it as i did, if not more.

[🜲 Samapico]

I could change my name to Drake7708

 

I don't really mind the D... maybe i'll just... make a HUGE POPUP THAT SAYS 'SAMAPICO DID ALL OF THIS DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE D IN THE NAME' when you start the program

 

lol jk

Call it DSDE : Drake Samapico Development Environment

[🜲 Samapico]

and how do you know it's for Continuum?

[Witchie NL]

not.. who cares.. let them noobs find out themselves that the maps dont work for other games.

[⛊ Drake7707]

btw for the settings use a Microsoft FlexGrid control. (thats what facts uses which seems to do a good job, or maybe split things up in General, Ship 1-8 tabs, Server etc ?... hmm if i only still had the source code of facts :/)

 

maybe CIDER ? Continuum IDE R....Roar ?

[Witchie NL]

CDE

Ohh and this editor has to include a function that checks for settings that are wrong, and settings that are corrupt with another setting.

That would be so awsome!

don't worry, all of this will be done tabs, settings min/max/invalid check...

perhaps an editor for server.ini and subbill.ini as well... since there are very few settings in there that are actually worth to change, it could help newbies setup servers

Doing the same thing for ASSS server would be ideal... but I'll need to take some time to set one up myself see how it works

Zoner's Subspace Editor (ZSE),

-Map Editting

-Tile Editting

-Settings Editting

-Help & News File Editting and Formatting

-Graphics Editor (ie. built in ships.bm2 rotations scripts, ships.bm2 constructer, animation editor, etc)

-Sound Editor (ie. basic sound recorder)

-Live & Dynamic Testing Environment

-eLVL Support

-!@#$%^&*S Support

-LVZ Support

-And much more!

 

I like ZSE better

 

 

Aha! DCME needs a generator module that can generate a random balanced or unbalanced settings, generate a random map (perhaps even random mazes of all kinds), etc.

ohh my god.. if they could implent all that they need to be crowned to "coders of the year".

 

But i think a F1-help editor should be made first.. Put that in the todo list.

[🜲 Samapico]

all these things were in my mind already...

DCME 10.0 will probably have all of these... in 3 years... lol

[Witchie NL]

!@#$%^&* neato.

Gogogogo i give you 3 months

Also to mention, !@#$%^&*ociate DCME with my http://www.jackpotsvs.com/files/ServerKit-full.exe so that you could configure it from in-the-editor (this might make it easier for newbies). A full blown, built-in server controlling GUI for the ServerKit-full.exe pack. Hehe.

[Witchie NL]

DCME as a portal. edit -> server.ini/subill.ini/server.cfg/spawn.cfg -> run

And run starts subill.exe and subgame/!@#$%^&*
