New NPC Control

1 Attachment(s)

I have been working on a new NC Control concept and script (in-game editing for weapons/classes/database NPCs). So far the features include the following:

Tree-View control for listing NPCs
Tabbed Scripts for easier editing
Syntax Highlighting

Some planned features (will be editted when new ideas are thought of):

Other functions to make the script more list the current NC Control (image editting for weapons,x/y/level/flag editting for classes, delete buttons, adding entries to NC, etc)
Adding local-npcs in the level the player is in to the tree-view
Find/Replace
Scroll-to-function (drop down list, when a function is selected, the script window will scroll to the function)
Reload Button (added 08/05/05, picture updated) (suggested by Calani)
Customization(custom syntax colors, window/background colors, possibly hotkeys, etc) (suggested by Calani)

I attatched a screenshot of what I have done so far... comments and criticisms would both be appreciated. Also, suggestions for improvements and functions that could be added would also be appreciated!

The regualr NC shall pale in comparison to this work of pure genius. :redface:

Seckay plz

anyways, further ideas:
* (correct) error highlighting (missing semicolon on line 53... line 53 is blank)
* command to relaod a script without saving changes
* lengthy undo stack (not like winblow's notepad's one undo >.>)
* inline popups/autocomplete for commands/functions (and vars too?)
such as "trig" would give a popup list with triggeraction and triggerserver
very handy for forgetting functions (ex: was hit -.-)
* customizability (custom syntax colors, window/background colors, etc)
* hotkeys? (popup, hide, switch, add level npc, save, close, reload)

Very good, indeed.

However, I'm not keen on in-game editting. It might be good for the quick 1-2-BAM-Finished edit but I prefer to keep everything nice, simple and seperate.

Would like the ability to make the weapon hidden without needing to begin the weapon name with a minus, it cramps my system style, not joking.
Also would like to be able to set custom weapon attributes than can be accessed clientside or serverside (weapons[index].attr[index]). EX:

NPC Code:

//#ATTR2 false

//#ATTR3 10

//#ATTR4 "Incomplete"

[script]

//#CLIENTSIDE

[morescript]

And maybe a list of serverside variables/strings/arrays/objects in the weapon.

Oh and, LINE NUMBERS D@MNIT >:O

Yea, I hate ingame rc too :[..

The only reason I use NC to script at this point is because its like notepad, but has a better font. v3 textboxes suck. >.> no ctrl+left/right, no useful undo feature, etc.
But if I could get a decent textbox with color AND the right font...... good-bye NC ^_^;

I was able to make one, but it doesn't have the 'sekc' folder icons (just the defaults +'s) on the left, and my text editing box is harder on the eyes :\ .

PHP Code:


		
			
<Source>.<Location>.icon.drawImageRectangle(int,int,str,int,int,int,int);

Source would be the name of the object, location would be the line number. That'll give you those fancy folder icons. I forget what each param does, but 'str' is the imagename, obviously.

Also, use profiles. I made my own 'TGCBlue_' profile set that uses those blue image thingeys, which I am recolouring to be a variety of designs and colours. That'll get rid of the strain on the eyes.

The profiles for the Blue gfx are pre-made and come in the client.

Yes, they all start with 'GuiBlue'.

mmm.... this is more of a "fashionality" question?
Why doesn't anyone bother to make a "rc" thats processed within the game screen? (This is more about looks.. but you get the point, this could be a steps towards it finaly) With that I mean totaly processed and not the normal in-game rc ;)

Anyhow tought about being able to edit (not only add) npcs to a level (putnpc2)? If not making a seperate tab for them would be nice. Just so you know that their there (wouldn't be to hard)

I started scripting an Online NPC Editor where you pressed a button and then it showed some image thing around all the NPCs in the level. You could click each and it brought up a GUI Window with all the vars of that NPC. You could then edit those vars and there was also a button to edit the script and the classes joined to that NPC.

You have to use the getvarnames() function.

So currently there is not a clientside command to get the flags of a putnpc2 NPC?

But that only will work for NPCs in the level (and maybe also only for NPCs that are clientsided?).

You need to use the serverside commands to get the info from putnpc2 NPCs.

If there is clientside data contained in the NPC, then it will work correctly clientside. Otherwise you need to use it serverside.
