ENIGMA Development Environment

In the preferences window, there is nothing displayed in the code editor :



Is this normal ?

Thanks for adding new features in LateralGm Robert. If i can give my 2 cents : i don't think the search filter should be displayed by default. I would be prefer a dialog window.

I knew this would happen. 
I am the one who modified the file reader and writer for egm files. At first, i wrote a very simple versioning system which would allow to test if we are dealing with an old version of egm files. But IsmAvatar, the creator of LateralGm, asked me to drop the support for old version of egm files. I said this would be a dangerous situation, but she said she would take care of this. As she is rarely present on this forum , i will present my temporary solution : a modified version of enigma.jar : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29802501/enigma.jar. This should be put in enigma-dev/plugins folder and replace the original one. But before, make sure you make a backup of the original one. This version of enigma.jar should be used only for converting old egm into the new format. It will not read new properties, but it will write them. When you have loaded your projects, and saved them, delete this version and put back the original one. Tell me if you have any problems.

I tried the game on Windows 7, and when i start the game, i've the following error : 'OpenAL32.dll is missing'.

Eh, I really don't like that. I would like someone other than me and you to offer their preference.

LateralGm, as GM Studio, works in the rooms editor with the tabs context : for instance, if you want to work with instances (moving,adding,deleting), you've to be in the objects tab, and it's the same with others tabs. So the global delete of instances/tiles is consistent with the way LateralGm works. Of course this doesn't mean i could not change the way we delete instances/tiles, but it doesn't seem very important to me. 

Create an object without a sprite, then create a room and add the object, the icon used to represent it will be the object ball. In GM it was always a question mark if the object had no sprite, in LGM we just use the object icon. But anyway that icon is 18x18 but I'd like a 16x16 default grid where that icon fits properly into it since power of two is better. So in other words I'd like 16x16 default grid size and when an instance uses the default icon to display itself in the room editor it should scale itself down to 16x16.

Ok, i understand now. In this case, i think it would be convenient to have a specific icon for empty objects which has already the needed size. No need to scale every-time the icon.

Great  !   Exciting times lie ahead for Enigma !

I've just found a bug : in the rooms editor, if you set a background to visible, but it's not linked to a background object, the game will not start.

I made a new install of Enigma on Linux and then i've copied the new LateralGm.jar and Enigma.jar. It scares me a little bit, but i can't manage to run any old projects.  I hope it's because there is some missing files (I executed also the 'make' command). TheExdeus, did you manage to load and run old projects (gmx or gmk) ?
