Poseidon: advanced text editor for Scripts & Configs

[Tom_48_97 523]

Today is again a patch day! Thanks to your feedback on the last release candidates, I was able to fix most of the issues and even to make two additions :rolleyes:

Since, it's more a fix than a release (as states the version number), no need to write a wall of text about it, so, enjoy yourself with this version :cool:

Change log:

WARNING: A fresh install is required because of some issues from the previous release.

• Added: Ability to open Arma 3 log directory (Top menu >> Logs)
  
• Added: Shortcut to open the current file into a new tab (ctrl+shift+c)
  
• Fixed: Installer dependencies
  
• Fixed: Bad definitions in SQF language configuration
  
• Fixed: Installed version was incorrect
  
• Fixed: Mikero tools were not working on some OS (with very specific conditions)

0.78.1 => 0.78.6 - Release Candidates - Hot fixes

Known issues:

• The installer will mark the version to install to 0.78.6, just ignore it.

As promised, here's my latest bug report :D

This error comes up whenever I right-click in poseidon. It comes up and then my right-click works for a period of 10-20 seconds, then another right-click causes it to error again and so on.

It's been this way since this build.

[Tom_48_97 523]

This error generally occurs when Tortoise is not present or misconfigured. First step is to check it (Preferences, Tortoise, Settings), hereafter, my configuration file as example:

{    "svn_tortoiseproc_path": "C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoiseProc.exe",
   "git_tortoiseproc_path": "C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseGit\\bin\\TortoiseGitProc.exe",
   "hg_hgtk_path": "C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseHg\\thgw.exe"
   "git_tgit_path": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Git\\bin\\git.exe",
   "cache_length": 5,
   "enable_menus": true,
   "debug": false,
   "use_workbench": true
}

[SilentSpike 84]

So if my tortoise settings look the same as yours, I would want to comment them out to remove the error? (Since I don't use tortoise SVN).

Edit: Yeah, that fixed it :)

Yes, this is normal for now, it's because of that.

I keep getting these errors when i am trying to open something external such as the arma 3 logs or even the internal settings.

What gives ?

[Tom_48_97 523]

"\xF6" is the "ö" you have in your installation path and is the problem. If you change your installation path for something without this character, it should work ;)

I've just bumped into this wonderful looking tool, but my Avast is crying Win32:Evo-gen [susp] when downloading from Armaholic. The direct download comes through, but I cannot unzip it. Is this known, is this my problem, or am I doing something wrong (if there is anything that can be done wrong in downloading a file.. .:) )

To be more specific the install.exe makes Avast mad.

Edited December 9, 2014 by zapat

[SilentSpike 84]

I believe avast just doesn't play nice with unknown exe files, heard reports of behavior with other 3rd party tools for various games. If I remember correctly you can report the file to avast so they can confirm it's clean.

[Tankbuster 1747]

You can report it, Spike but it takes them months to action anything you send them.

Meantime, this is new? I was wondering if this is how folders are supposed to look in the sidebar?

Hello,

I have downloaded v0.80 and try to update/install some utilities with the Community-Updater but it always ends up in a error message:

What is wrong here? :confused:

[Tom_48_97 523]

Sorry Tankbuster, I had not seen your message, this was fixed on the fly the same day of the release but I guess you've re-downloaded the latest version :)

R1CO, this issue comes from the server, currently, I'm hosting Armaholic mirrors and Arma3.fr infrastructure, then, the server is often overloaded. I'll work on a solution as soon as I have some time to do so ;)

[R1C0 10]

Today I was able to perform an update with the community updater. Thanks for your awesome work! :)

[Tankbuster 1747]

Sorry Tankbuster, I had not seen your message, this was fixed on the fly the same day of the release but I guess you've re-downloaded the latest version :)

I haven't but I will get it again this evening. Many thanks, Tom :)

Yep, looks much better now, thanks.

One further question, why does the community updater say that the server version of Poseidon is 'not available'?

Edited January 12, 2015 by Tankbuster

[Tom_48_97 523]

You're welcome.

Regarding the community updater, it's because the installer of Poseidon is not handled (yet, one day... perhaps), it'll be downloaded if you populate your local depot, but not installed.

[Tom_48_97 523]

Hy Tom,

Thank you for to work on sublime text2 (poseidon), this notepad is an essential tool for working files to the game Arma 3. I quote in almost all my tutorials created to help the Francophone community (you already knew ;)). Bye job well :p

[Tankbuster 1747]

Hi Tom,

I use eliteness to build up my mission files. Can I do that from within Poseidon? I'm guessing it would live in the external programs menu or the BI tools menu?

Tanky -Paul-

[wantafanta 13]

is it possible to get Poseidon working as a plugin within sublime text 3? found this on their website:

Sublime Text 3, while still technically in beta, is the recommended version of Sublime Text to use: compared to Sublime Text 2, it's faster, more polished, and of course, has a lot of extra functionality. Download it now and give it a try!

[Tom_48_97 523]

Well, this is true and false (oxymoron power :ill:). Firstly, true because the language definitions are supposed to be working without any change, then false, simply because the ST2 engine uses Python 2.6 whereas the ST3 uses the version 3.3.

That said, there is something in the pipe...

[adanteh 58]

I just noticed that the new Documents folder is really %userprofile%\Documents instead of the folder that was set as Documents folder in windows. Although it's not a serious problem, it can be really confusing because the Poseidon Tools folder is nowhere to be found inside my documents folder :)

Edit: Maybe this causes my options to not be properly loaded as well? When I go to Preferences > Options it shows all the correct info, but when I use file header snippet it still shows the default info.

Excellent news. Can't code without this.
