General ENIGMA / Re: Sorry, I really tried
« on: June 13, 2019, 05:22:11 am »
Hello again, sorry to revive this old topic. Me and a friend are starting a proyect together which involves GM8, but for some reason the code editor runs very slowly for him. We've searched for solutions but there are none we are aware of, save for gm studio.
I suggested LateralGM, which worked out mostly fine for what we needed. Then, I suggested Enigma, but again we couldn't figure out the installation and gave up.
I found out a portable version of Enigma (This one: https://github.com/enigma-dev/enigma-dev/releases ), but for some reason lateralGM crashed, so I used an older version and it worked up until it tried to load the plugins, in which point it just stopped (but didn't crash at least).
My question is, being that we both are total noobs in this, and being that we're just users who want to download and use the program, isn't there another way to get it to work?
I don't know if there's another portable version, or a GitHub package we could download and use right away. Speaking from ignorance, wouldn't it work if someone who has the program uploads it completely to GitHub for others to download?
Again, thanks for the replies and patience. I know it may sound annoying for some of you when a newbie can't get past the installation again, but belive me, I genuinely want to use this program and no matter how many times I screw the installation, I always find myself back in here. Now that I'm working with a friend on a proyect, there's even more reason to get to use this, and I'd love to recommend Enigma if I can get it to work, noob as I might be.

Thank for the replies, guys. Lately, I've been working with Godot, not sure if you've heard of it before, it's also an open source game engine. It is directly launched from an .exe file, which is incredibly convenient to be honest. I have no idea how they managed to do that, but I think that it was thanks to those little details that people got hooked very quickly with it. They made it grow from that. Maybe if you could try and do the same, more people would join the proyect, add to it and make it better known.
Lately I've been thinking about giving this another try, so we'll se how that goes. Still, I do honestly think you guys should focus on solving the installation part first, as it would make it easier for more and more users to show up and use it, which would also incidentally add more people working on it. I say focus on that first, and the rest later, because just like any proyect, if you continue with the issue it will just get harder and harder to solve in the long run.

Before I start, forgive me if my English is not very good. I'm still learning it, so bear with me.
Listen, I appreciate the idea of this proyect. I think it's pretty cool, although to be honest, I don't really understand it. I'm no tech expert, in fact I'd consider myself to be very ignorant of these topics. The only "coding" I've ever done, if you can even call it that, is making games in GM8.
Long story short, I used Enigma a loooong time ago. Didn't really find any use of it at the time, but ok. Yesterday, for some reason, I remembered this existed, so feeling very excited, I wanted to install it. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit. I followed the wiki's steps but it was no good. Mind you, I do not have a clue to what's going on in the background. When I put "cd enigma-dev" in the prompt, it didn't recognize it and the rest was impossible to install, so today I tried again, this time by watching this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAejbYc3LRI, but alas, it was no good, again.
Look, I am very ignorant of these procedures, and I do understand you might have your motives on why they are the way they are, but I'm throwing the towel on this one. I just wanted to give you my record as a total newbie who has no idea how this works. I'm not frustrated, nor angry. If anything, I'd like to ask you if you could make a installer, or something easier to understand for ignorants like me, so in the future people won't just throw this away because it's "hard" to install.
Anyway, those are just my 2 cents. I really appreciate the job you guys are doing and I wish you the best. If I could add anything else, I'd love it if you could get more into the mainstream by making youtube videos and such. Good luck!
