MulleDK19 21 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) kju said: First of wonderful job MulleDK19!Very useful tool and can make good use of it myself to extend my vehicle DM. :) kju said: * You may wan to consider to get a project space to manage the bug reports and feature requests / feedback in general. More: http://dev-heaven.net/ I was going to add a bug report page on my website, but haven't found a decent ASP.NET bug report system yet. Though, I'm thinking of making my own. kju said: * A code repository could be helpful too, if you consider to either let other ppl look at your code for review or to make it a team effort. I'm very strict with my sources. I don't like the thought of other's fooling around in my "car's engine". And I've had a lot of bad experiences with people claiming they own it. That's why I've never really released any mods for ArmA/Gmod kju said: * Good job on those video tuts. Very useful. Thank you :) kju said: * Do not create a description.ext. Instead create a new file with the default classes and defines. Ppl using this tool will be able to set an include themselves. Ya, I was thinking about that. kju said: * Why are you using your own format? In the end using the same (not perfect) BI cpp, would save you and the tool users a lot of trouble in the end. I had some trouble using BIS' format in some very early versions of the tool. Though, I AM gonna make a function to import "builded" dialogs kju said: * This probably would allow loading data from original cpp code into your app too. This would increase the usefulness tenfold. Making import function kju said: * Project path should be anywhere (not only 'my files') (all partitions - XP 32b here). What do you mean? You can place the projects in any empty folder. kju said: * Default path to a2 install (read from reg). Was going to :P kju said: * Please do not auto hide tool tip over time (longer text are impossible to read in time). Instead mouse move should only action to remove it. I worked desperately on this, but there seems to be a bug in the .NET Framework preventing me from changing this. kju said: * Drag and drop side bar - like mentioned. Way more usable for advanced dialogs. Top bar could make sense too. Editable does not have to be full screen. I was considering this, but thought it would be easier if there wasn't anything to overlay the working area. kju said: * Option to reconfigure tool key configuration. * Change defauft: * Exchange RMB<-> MMB * or LMB SC/DC to edit; LMB + LCTRL to move, LMB + LShift to resize, RMB to move Maybe kju said: * It is possible to make controls size 0, unable to find it afterwards. http://www3.picfront.org/picture/Yh6BR5UOb/img/p001.jpg Ya, I know. Thx anyway :P kju said: * What about class inheritance? When using the tool you're making dialogs a bit differently than you normally would. Instead of actual "classes" you make control types. You can inherit these, but you can not inherit controls. Edit Classes > NAME:INHERITS kju said: * In edit control properties: ** key - value (map), display instead of list I'm thinking of a new system for the editing, yes. kju said: ** new property -> autoselect value Already working on that :) kju said: ** f2 to edit or LMB SC http://www3.picfront.org/picture/Idf4crt2aa/img/p004.jpg SC? kju said: ** ability to reorder elements Task added kju said: ** How do you edit items - it hardly works here with LMB SC/DC. SC/DC? Slow-click/Double-click? Slow-click should work, works for me. kju said: ** Bug: possible to create a property twice: http://www3.picfront.org/picture/dMJ3QgZ1/img/p005.jpg Didn't think it was much of an issue, so I left it. kju said: ** Question: Every property always relevant? It is specific to parent classes (at times) isnt it? http://www3.picfront.org/picture/KdBXpOO0c/img/p006.jpg I don't want to restrict people too much. kju said: * Posted about your tool in the dev heaven forum. :) Thanks ^^ kju said: * Feasible to get code completion and/or error checking at some point (single man project or possible team effort in the future?) Error checking is already on my task list. kju said: * Ability to start app in window mode and resize. Uhm? kju said: * Format error for my simple test dialog: http://pastebin.com/f30cc43c3 How to reproduce? kju said: * Option to resize background (to editable area size): http://www3.picfront.org/picture/H3wVobEKtvF/img/p002.jpg This was a bug I didn't notice until I had released the tool. I am gonna scale it to fit the working area. kju said: * Possible to make a zoom mode? Otherwise the tiny grid is hardly useful: http://www3.picfront.org/picture/Sx68rjRF/img/p008.jpg The tiny grid is very useful. Zoom-mode is on my "Nice to have" list. kju said: * Dialog should be possible to resize/fullscreen: http://www3.picfront.org/picture/irCgg3Hz/img/p009.jpg I am working on a new selection/move/resize system. kju said: * Syntax coloring feasible at some point? http://www3.picfront.org/picture/kMVs0fqU/img/p010.jpg In a list box? Anyway, I am going to implement another way of editing. kju said: * Edit classes ** RMB should be context sensitive - display only options for class vs values/keys: http://www3.picfront.org/picture/f11O0UDvJ/img/p011.jpg http://www3.picfront.org/picture/p2BuFnqi8QT/img/p012.jpg ** Insert property should also work if property is selected - just query its class its in: http://www3.picfront.org/picture/2uVXbFgi/img/p013.jpg Already on my task list. kju said: Again great job and looking very much forward to the updates to come! Glad you like it :) Nordbo said: I noticed it generated the numbers with comma as a separator and not a period. It didn't place the dialogs on the screen until I corrected that. Because we northern folks are using a fucked up numerical system :P Change your numeric settings to period. If you know any ASP.NET bug reporters, please write back.

spirit6 51 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) *********YES I AM A NUTEHEAD, I EDIT THIS IN, INDEED THE , IN THE DIALOG FILE NEEDS . Just keeping my old text for others to see ****************** Ok i must be a complete nuthead then but i am totaly not able to produce any of the dialogs in Arma 2. As i just make a backgrouns, frame and one button with a text property i start to wonder what am i doing wrong? The files are all generated to a mission with one unit on it, namely me. So it cant be conflitcts. What i get is when the the "mission" starts there is a mouse indeed visible. I cant do anyting , click anything, see anyting but the normal game stuff. I can walk again as soon as i press escape. I gues that makes me leave the dialog. So i needed to change for exampel the x=0,419047619047619; into x=0.419047619047619; class Dialog { name=Dialog; idd=-1; movingEnable=1; controlsBackground[]={fr, bg}; objects[]={}; controls[]={btn}; class btn:RscButton { idc=-1; text="Hallo"; x=0,419047619047619; y=0,487619047619048; w=0,0571428571428571; h=0,0304761904761905; }; class fr:RscBgFrame { idc=-1; x=0,4; y=0,457142857142857; w=0,114285714285714; h=0,152380952380952; }; class bg:RscBackground { idc=-1; x=0,4; y=0,457142857142857; w=0,114285714285714; h=0,152380952380952; }; }; Edited June 16, 2009 by spirit6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Change your numerical settings in Windows to use period as the seperator instead of comma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gil Galvanti 0 Posted June 27, 2009 Hey, great tool, thanks. It seems there is a bug where the size of a control does not automatically change to fit the text, and I can't add the definitions of w and h or your program gives me an error saying that they are automatically defined. Instead, I have to manually open the .hpp file and change them in there, which gets tedious. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
