Any dialog editors that work for ARMA3?

[SicSemperTyrannis 5]

There doesn't seem to be any that work anymore. I don't really know where to turn, but designing dialogs is impossible manually.

It might not be completely impossible, but if you're expected to get anything done a single dialog panel could take up to an hour to finish, without the accompanying functionality.

Is there anything I can do about this?

while previewing a mission goto the esc menu, then press f1 to get to the inbuilt editor. press f1 again for help

stra_gui.pbo is no longer functional, though. Unless it's been updated from the version i already had.

its built in now

i have a trigger that calls a script with this in it:

startEditor.sqf

private ["_path"];
_path = gettext (configfile >> "RscGUIEditor" >> "path");
[] spawn compile preprocessfilelinenumbers (_path + "GUI_init.sqf");

works like a champ.

You can also call it up by:

- press esc (while in game - any time)

- press F1 (bunch of very useful stuff here)

- click "GUI" button on the bottom right

- press H (open the help menu)

learned it myself from a mod, had no idea that existed days ago, the variables watcher and the short commands execute are pretty nice too.

Awesome, thanks Loki and gammadust.

I get this when trying to move an object:

_posX = (GUI_idcActive_pos select 0) + _diffMouseX;
_posY = (GUI_id>
 Error position: <select 0) + _diffMouseX;
_posY = (GUI_id>
 Error Generic error in expression
File A3\functions_f\gui\editor\GUI_fnc_ctrlMouseMoving.sqf, line 162
Error in expression <ys) then {

EDIT: Also, Escape and F1 thing doesn't work for me at all.

sounds to me your install is fubar or something (guessing).. esc: F1 works and no errors with the trigger call for me. maybe another can try as well.

also: i am running the dev build.. *if that makes a difference. and launching with spirited machines launcher.

Where/when are you pressing Escape?

Try launching arma with no mods at all if it's the case, you're running into some wierd stuff.

EDIT: running Stable branch here. You should have access to the Debug Console no probs.

EDIT2: Some wiki documention for the above. GUI editor | Debug Console

I'll try running it vanilla, my settings prior were:

-nosplash -noPause -world=empty -cpuCount=8 -exThreads=14 -maxmem=12288 -maxvram=2048 -mod=@FA_gpstr_watermark;@brf_nvg;@inidb;

Alright, problem solved. You need to launch in the editor for it to work, the multiplayer editor will not work.
