I never said anything about scripts. In fact I plan to only have script editing in the level editor be a plug-in to be added at a later date (with maybe a basic text editor when no script editor is present)

Pretty much, this scripted editor is already far enough, it would be far easier to get Stefan to fix the bugs with external windows so I can finish the editor then to wait for him to actually add all those features into the offline editor.

Most of the features such as tilelayers and a few others you are thinking about are already done on my editor. I just need some bugs with displaying of images and such fixed.

What kind of features do you want?

So he'd rather have a player improve (or in this case create) something he should have done years ago. Clever.

Well, it was my own doing to create this level editor, he never asked me to. I'm pretty sure if he asked me to do it, it would be done by now.

Like having the server you are on pre-define the default settings for a new level such as the tiledefs, etc. Another example is joint editing with other people so that you work on only a "part" of some level(s) and changes you make only effect those parts (which can allow others to edit those other parts). Kinda like being able to edit just 1 function in a npc while another person edits a different function at the same time.

You're missing something though; Myself, and many others, do not want to be forced to logon Graal in order to edit levels. Sadly, things are starting to look like we'll have too.

This is the future, where everyone has internet access. If you don't you fail.

Trust me, when you finish it will be all over the new Graal client and people will start to forget about the .exe one.

Ez.

A good LAT team can already do this.

I give Graal's current generation of "LATs" too much credit though. :p

He said forced log onto Graal not the internet.

Exactly, huge difference.

You want player chat to stay? Try this script.

It makes player chat stay by repeating it every second.

So tell me how it would be a problem if you have Internet access?
You obviously have no idea what we're talking about.

Also, most people nowadays tend to use this.settimer(seconds) rather than this.timeout.

Major fail >_<

Setting the chat in a timeout is probably causing a lot of onPlayerChats, so it's not recommended to do.

Yes, so please fix it :)

That's why we want this function to mimic entering text into the chat bar.

So a great alternative is to just not get any level editor updates at all!

Anyways, if you read that other thread, Ter is already making an offline editor anyways so it really doesn't matter.

My editor is intended for online editing much like a scripter uses RC to edit scripts and test them on the fly.

Yeah. I have to admit I didn't understand what you needed it for. The script I suggested was something I used in a test level to make my own player-chat not disappear. And as Stefan said, it will cause onPlayerChats every second.

Thank you. GS2 is not my strong point and I welcome opportunities to learn it.

I have to agree. If you want something to mimic entering text into the chat bar and don't want onPlayerChat to repeat, you should probably be doing exactly what you're doing: asking for a new function.
