Making a program to help making of mods/games

[lkjoel]

Can you add me on github now?

ASAP . Is it ok if we work on the forking system? it would be simpler for me

[lkjoel]

Nice (I tried it)
It needs "Browse" buttons to choose pictures, like the ones here:
http://www.text-image.com/convert/ascii.html (just an example)

Later, as this requires a lot of PHP, and the only way we can test it is to always upload it to SF.net, and this would require a lot of time (I am planning on doing this though, but later).

[lkjoel]

It should be output = "c9:Cloud9" instead of output = c9:Cloud9, shouldn't it?

Thanks, I'll change that. Is there any difference between single and double quotes in LUA?

[lkjoel]

It also needs a "remove block" button (Yep, I'm using it for my first mod, despite I could write it manually xD)
...

I think if I understand, it would be the trash, right? Whenever you drag a block there, it deletes it. If you mean delete a custom-made block, it's just by closing the dialog that contains the block

Lol. It's just this:

Code: Select all

<input type=file size=50>

So the dialog needs to be open to see the block in-game? I think what that guy ment was there should be like a browser for the blocks that have been made with this program. And a feature to delete them from the game.

Well, I actually meant something like the trash, which I hadn't seen, and doesn't actually work for me. Closing the dialog doesn't remove them from the blocks list either. Maybe I have to clone from git again for an updated version...

Oh ok:D

No, not really.

Yes, but where and how do we store it?

Good idea! I'm gonna include that

I haven't implemented that yet, but I think I should use Death Dealer's idea, as it seems better

No, not really.

That's interesting... I think I'm gonna stick with single quotes then

^_^ glad to help in some way.

Why do you want to store it? The user is the only one who wants to see it, and it's on his computer, so why store it in a server?
This program needs the path to the picture for two things, I think:
1 - Display the picture in the application
2 - Get the filename and use it in the code

If that's possible, I'll do it, but I think it's forced to store it in some way... Anyways, we will need PHP to generate the whole mod, so it shouldn't matter at all.

If you guys make this happen, there will be so many more mods...
You know, only experienced modders create mods for MT right now (right?)! But if lkjoel creates this program, almost anybody will be able to create a mod!

Thank you.

Creating a recipe and a node it's easier than drink water with LUA (And also in c++).

Why?
Isn't javascript alone enough to put some strings together and give you a Save button?
(Yes, I want to run this outside my apache server =P)

And with this it will be as easy as blinking:D

Let me explain: The PHP generator will generate a .zip file containing all of the files needed in the correct places. JavaScript is unable to do that . Then, PHP will put the uploaded files into the .zip file.
Also, it will be hosted online at sourceforge.net, so you don't need to host it (unless you want to, of course ).

Yep! It will let you create tools, mobs (if sapier is ok, we will use the animals mod for this), mesecon circuits etc...

[lkjoel]

I'm planning on letting you store your mod into HTML5's wonderful localStorage, so that if you reload the page, all of your changes will still be there.

I want a tar, instead of a zip
