Probably a good idea. With all the complex stuff you put in there shouldn't be too difficult.

Yes, I will add a repair function for the userdetails.ini. Most likely it will be in the next free update.

Good idea. One should always have something for the updates. Even if they are free.

Congratulations. I wish you will. I will be downloading when I get home on Monday. I'm currently out of town and didn't bring my laptop.

Edit

Not "will" but well.

File "CreaStater.exe" in archive was compressed by file packer, so some anti-virus block it. I fixed it.

Hi Mr_Joe Nice to see you got it done. Will check it out here shortly. I did just notice you changed the name to "Creastater"?
Did you mean CreaStarter?

ncmako, no, I don't mean "CreaStarter". "CreaStater" implies a most used command in the FPI scripts - "state="

Uh Oh. I downloaded. When I click on the app. I get the app window but I can't do anything. Whatever menu item I point to and click on, it will not do anything. Even the "X" in upper right hand corner will not exit the app. I have to "end" it using Ctrl-Alt-Del.

I am using Win7. I'm the administrator but I also tried running it as administrator. I will try downloading again.

Mr_Joe I've downloaded it now several times. Keep getting the same as Flatlander. A box pops up,"x" it out, then the apps main window freezes up? Have to kill it thru task manager. I'll wait till it gets sorted out.

Still the same. In fact, for some reason I can't record a video capture of it to be able to show you. The app simply does not respond.

Addendum:

I'm missing two files in the folder. I'll post a image of the folder I have in a little while.

Here's the image:

none of the buttons work including the 'x' button in the upper right hand of the app window. Also, when I double click on the "exe" file, I do not get a "registration" dialog window. I just get a app window that does nothing.

Edit:

I know that this is going to be a problem with communication. Trying to explain what the problem is.

There are two text files that are missing as shown in the image. In your video they are below the readme.txt file. I cannot read them because of the small video and because my eyes are old and don't work very well.

I will see if this will run on my XP laptop and let you know. I'm suspecting this might have something to do with Windows 7?

First of all thanks for the videos. It will help us all.

However, it does the same on my laptop with the XP operating system.

I will try to give you some more info. After I double click on CreaStater.exe highlighted in the following image:



I get the following window:



I do not get what you get in the video. I never see this message or dialog box as show below:



Just the window of the app that can't do anything. Another thought of mine is are all the necessary resources in the installer? Have you tried running your app on a non-development computer? The problem with developing and testing on the same computer is that you already have all the resources on your computer.

Do any or all of the dll's in the resource folder need to be registered by Windows?

Just some thoughts.

@ Mr_Joe,

I took some time to give this a run and I must admit this is a very good application. The interface is nice and easy to navigate around. There was a couple of things that caught my attention.

First, you have an icon button and the description says "view the number for specific keys pressed on your keyboard to use in your FPI scripts". I like how the number comes up, but your users will need to remember there are two ways to use the code. One is with "scancodekeypressed=x" and the other is "keypressed=x y". You might want to include that either in your documentation/manual, or even put it on the Key Viewer window that displays the code and letter. For example:

Key Viewer-

S --> 31

scancodekeypressed=31
keypressed=31 Y --> where y=1 then key is pressed; y=0 then key not pressed (released)

Second, I like how the box pops up underneath as you script and you can scroll the available conditions/actions. One thing I would like to ask is if there is a possibility to add/edit that list? The reason I ask is because (as an example) we still work in an older source and some conditions/actions do not apply to our source. Another reason is since we mod our source we may have conditions/actions we'd like to add to the list.

Overall from the brief time I spent with it this morning, it is a good application and very useful. We hope that is does well for you.


There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

-I'll add it.

-There are some nuances, but I will try to implement it.

It's me again. This time with an issue of downloading.

* I registered
* I logged in
* Here is screen with downloads - it also shows I'm logged in as Flatlander



Can't get a download dialog box. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. There are some who have already downloaded so it's has to be something on my end.

I click on the download link on bottom left hand side.

Terry, we downloaded ourselves. Here is what to do.

On the screen you show, click the CreStater name.



Then click the "download from this server".

*** DOH! ***

Thanks Blackfox. Also, the video will be very helpful to other dense oldsters like myself. (Mike, my dementia is getting worse. It is getting quite frustrating.)

Addendum:

I didn't take a very long look but what I have seen is very good. It is very professional looking. It seems to navigate well. You have a lot of cool bells and whistles (features). I just might try to wean myself off of my beloved FPI EditPad. I'm only attached to it because I wrote it and have used it for 4 to 5 years now.

Soon I will post the next CreaStater update. Will be added:
- to KeyViewer: quick(1 key and 2 clicks) paste condition like "keypressed=17 0" or "scancodekeypressed=17"
- Restore FPSC License
- On-screen text generator like Xplosys's TextEase

Anyone wants to help me make a list of all FPI commands?

The download button contains all the files through v1.20 b4. It was provided for FPI EditPad however, the files are in text format so you will be able use them with my permission. Corno_1 is the one who compiled the latest version actions and conditions. I hope he won't mind my sharing. Especially now that this is a free app. I wouldn't have done so if it were not free. The "lst" files are the commands and the "def" files are short definitions.

BTW, ncmako, I have not found any issues.

Addendum:

Also, Ched80 has actually made a manual for all the commands. It is available somewhere. Might be attached to the scriptbank forum.

It depends on how this will compare to those that are already out there.

Some people are looking for something that can pack all their levels and at the same time allow the player just to run one level at a time. This is especially useful in educational games. The player/student plays a level. The player/student ends with that level until instructed to play the next level.

There might be other reasons for playing a level at a time. I am send two developers I know that would be interested in such a feature so they can have some input here.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.
