Script Editor question

[Bee-Ant]

If we accidentally separated our code by pressing enter, why cant it get back to where it was by pressing delete?

Script Editor bug!

[pyrometal]

There are many script editor bugs I must say, but most are caused by copy-pasting opertations. Here are a few:

- When copy-pasting a line it might happen that you are unable to write anything immediately after it on the same line. You have to hit backspace a few times until the last character on the line is erased, type that erased character back in, ad finally write what you intended to... Kind of annoying.

- When copy-pasting larger blocks of code, it might also happen that you want to edit some numbers in there and this is where you might encounter the following bug... You click on the spot you want to insert the cursor, and the cursor is placed on the line below or above instead, sometimes also being offset by a few characters left or right... The only way to get rid of the bug is by closing the script editor and reopening it.

- Finally, beware! If you copy-paste (again) more than one thing inside the same script without closing the window in between all of them, you may also encounter another bizzar problem. Sometimes on the second or later copy-pasting, you'll find that even though you copied 10 lines of code, when you paste them, only the first 2 or 3 are actually pasted and the rest of what you copied isn't.

- The final bug I have to report is the fact that GE has a bad habit of freezing my taskbar (in Win XP). This happens often when I test a game, exit it, and try to go edit something like some graphics by clicking on my already opened application on the taskbar. It outright freezes and can take up to 2 minutes to recover. This is annoying thing...

lol, that's all I have to report!

All this bugs will be solved with the old new interface!

[BlarghNRawr]

also sometimes when you go into game mode. the X button will occasionally not work
i don't know what causes this.

also something i found on the new ge only (the older ones it never happened before) is if you leave ge minimized for a while.. with other windows open, then try to maximize it again. it will come up in the top left in a very small window that is unclosable and i find that i have to use the task manager to get rid of it

this is what it looks like

(luckily when i reload ge the error message comes up asking to reload my last changes. it is annoying though...)

What do you mean with old new interface?

[makslane]

Old, becouse I'me trying to release it since 2005, but have a lot of things to do yet!!!!

So you are too buy do coontinue ge, and since that is, you have releasse the source code so any of you coudl finish the other features
and make Game Editor 1.4.0 and probably someday actually a 2.0.0 (exageration on 2.0.0).

[makslane]

Exactly!

How do we edit the source code?
Using Ms Visual C?

[makslane]

Are you talking about the Game editor source code?

[Kalladdolf]

I believe he is.
Oh and @blarghnrawr:
I experienced the same bug (among others, but I won't report them here, as this is a script editor topic XD).
Usually I don't test my games in Game Mode, but compiled, as those don't lag as much.
My current game is full screen.
When I leave GE open, run the game, close it and try to maximize GE again, it would look exactly like that thing you posted.
One way to close this is to hit the [X] button and then press 'enter'. Then it will close, but your changes will be lost, so be sure to save your game everytime before you minimize GE.

The configuration files for Windows are for MS VC!

I have trouble with script editor cause =/+, {, }, and right shift don't work. but it isn't anything wrong with game editor, it's because of vista =P

[Bee-Ant]

I use both vista and latest GE.
No additional problem occured lile yours.
