Hi TDK, sorry I've been a while getting back to you, but I had to code an application for a friend in just a few days and it drove everything else from my mind.
First let me say what a
stunning program this - the split screen code window is a brilliant idea. I really like your code templates section, too - tons better than DarkEDIT.
A couple of minor points, really - the Program Options "Editor Colours" tab is locked into DefaultDB and you can't change it (is it possible to assign your own custom colour scheme the way you can in DarkEDIT?)
The settings tab in the Project Panel has an inactive checkbox or "Insert 'ask user' code" - what does it do, and how do you get to use it?
I don't think the "Scan for Nested Loop Errors" feature works - it keeps saying that this code has no problems:
Ink RGB(255, 255, 255), 0
Do
text 50, 50, "testing"
if T = 1
Do
endif
Loop
A bit of a major bug here, I think - the Check Syntax doesn't seem to return any compiler errors. Just about anything else I write that's in error highlights the line (give or take a line) but gives the message "Syntax Chgeck: OK!"
This code, for example:
Ink RGB(255, 255, 255), 0
Do
text 50, 50, "testing"
if T = 1
Do
endif
Loop
Loop
correctly highlights line 6 (the endif), so the error's pretty obvious, but displays the message "Syntax check: OK!".
Haven't been able to test the Media browser at all, unfortunately, as I only have DirectX 9.0 installed and not 9.0c (what a difference a letter makes...)
Just out of curiosity, though - would it be possible for you to introduce Context Sensitive Help in your IDE? I really miss that from DBC's built in editor, as it made it so much quicker and easier for me to find out what the commands meant, or to work out what parmeters I'd missed out...
Hope this helps.
Regards, RTR
