Why not provide the code on github? It'll be easier if someone wants help in codes. Optimizations in the code or add new functions.

Congrats. Cool.

wow very nice tool almost complete...

I wish it has a capability of a compiler(where it checks the validity of the script) and a simulator where you can test the script like in-game interaction

Yea... I have been trying to do this since forever T_T

 

Unfortunetly I code in .NET C# so I don't quite understand how to take the src for rAthena/Hercules written in C++ and make a utility/function out of it. Ideally, i want to take the content of the editor tab and pass it a function which utilizes the script parser and give me validation responses. If someone help me figure that out, i can implement this into NSE in a heart beat

just take the basic functionality like mes,next,close and etc..and disregard some commands where its not feasible in the current setup....

 

[JayPee 17]

Wow, your the man

[latheesan 15]

Me and Yommy is comming up with a way to do just this. We hope to have a basic working script parser built into the NSE for the next release.

[latheesan 15]

Hi everyone,

 

I am back from my long break. I have now completed the script parsing / checking functionality within NPC Script Editor.

 

I got in touch with Ind from Hercules emu few months ago to discuss the posibility of using the script parsing functionality that is already inside map-server as a stand alone feature and one of the developer came up with this: https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/pull/217

 

This
special edition of map-server_sql.exe (compiled from Hercules emu) is
now integrated with NPC Script Editor. Here is how it looks like:

 

When you are editing a script, press F6 to parse and synctax check the script you are working with. Any errors are reported like this:

 

If you've fixed the error and pressed F6 again, it will highlight the next problem, etc...

 

 

Now
you can work on NPC Scripts and not have to load it into the live/test
server to see if any syntax/coding error are in there. Hopefully this
will speed up everyone's NPC Scripting.

 

I am
currently working on packaging this as a standalone installer and hope
to have it released soon. This new build comes with new bug fixes and
improvements also.

New version released : http://herc.ws/board/files/file/108-npc-script-editor/

Possible to have a list of npc/mob/item constants with ID?

[latheesan 15]

Are these defined in the

 

db/*.txt

files?

[Dastgir 1244]

Mob and item are directly parsed from respective db. The aegis names are the mob/item constants.

Npc constants are parsed from db/const.txt

I got error: "Setup Error! -f"

Heya,

 

Would it possible to add these features?

• Adding "To lowercase" and "To UPPERCASE" in the context menu when right-clicking some text would be more practical than using the menus!
• Adding "Add text color" in the context menu when right-clicking on some text, this would simply add "^000000" at the beginning and end of the selected text.
• Turn on whole word highlighting (when the caret is on a whole word, it is very useful to highlight all other whole word matches).
• Volatil searches. When a word is highlighted (from the whole word highlighting), being able to jump to the next or the previous element is very useful. The shortcut in Notepad++ is Ctrl-F3 for the next element and Ctrl-Shift-F3 for the previous element. In VS, the shortcut is Ctrl-Shift-Up and Ctrl-Shift-Down.
• Be able to leave autocomplete always turned on and activates as you type.
• Other useful shortcuts to have :
  

Alt-Up / Alt-Down, moves the selected lines up or down. If no text is seleted, it moves the current line.

Shift-Delete, deletes the current line and copy it to the clipboard (or Ctrl-L in Notepad++).

Ctrl-C with no text selected, copies the current line to the clipboard.

Ctrl-X with no text selected, copies the current line to the clipbard and removes it.

Ctrl-K, comment the selected lines.

Ctrl-Shift-K, uncomment the selected lines.

F3, while a search is active, goes to next element. (This is conflicting with Scintilla's default find and replace dialog though, not really important I guess).

Shift-F3, while a search is active, goes to previous element.

Ctrl-U, change the selected text to lower case. Shortcut already exists, never mind.

Ctrl-Shift-U, change the selected text to upper case.

• Add/replace code snippets : 
  

f =>

for ($.@i$ = $0$; $.@i$ < $max$; $.@i$++) {	$selected$$end$}

w =>

while ($1$) {	$selected$$end$}

sc / script =>

$map$,$x$,$y$,$direction$	script	$name$	$SPRITE$,{	$selected$$end$}

func =>

function	script	$name$	{	$selected$$end$}

hid (could probably use another name I guess) =>

-	script	$NAME$	-1,{	$selected$$end$}

menu =>

switch(select("$menu$")) {	case 1:		$selected$$end$		break;}

dup =>

$map$,$x$,$y$,$direction$	duplicate($name$)	$name$#$tag$	$SPRITE$$selected$$end$

 

Could probably add more snippets, but these are the only ones that come to mind at the moment xD! It would be even better if we could make our own, they're really a time saver. If you're not familiar with snippets, they are used by typing the first letters (func for example) and then pressing tab. It will autocomplete the rest. There is already one for "f" but it's obviously meant for C++ autocompletion code.

 

And also, when you press Enter, it would be nice if it could use the previous indent (or use indent + 1 if the line ends with { ) to start the new line instead of starting back at the beginning. This is probably the most important feature in all of this, it is somewhat annoying to add the tabs everytime you add a new line.

 

Thank you for this amazing tool btw ;]!
