New NPC Control

[Python523]

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!

I think it looks sexy.

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

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)

Awesome

[Luigi1]

Hurry up and finish it.

[Skyld]

Looks impressive.

[xXDuMajuXx]

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.

Yea, I hate ingame rc too :[..

... You don't even script. Go away.

Jagen keeps getting sexier by the day. <3

[xXDuMajuXx]

Yes I do too! Just not as often as I used to do.

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

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 ^_^;
