ENIGMA Development Environment

Hmm, that should be fixed, LGM has an APNG reader so it should be able to read the whole strip for you like it does GIF. I have found this to be of importance and filed a ticket.
https://github.com/IsmAvatar/LateralGM/issues/114

As Darkstar2 pointed out, it would also be helpful to know if other Java applications are exhibiting this translation bug. Also, please attempt to File->Preferences and change the translation.

For the record, LGM does not currently have a spanish translation.
https://github.com/IsmAvatar/LateralGM/tree/master/org/lateralgm/messages

Only the following:
English
French
Danish
Turkish

I could help with the spanish translation, it is my mother tongue.

When you save, the drop down combo specifies the extension, the 1200 numbers to the right specify the actual format. Make sure they match 1200 is GMX, and turn off "force extension" when you have it in the filename.

If I turn off "force extension" and try putting it myself then ENIGMA doesn't recognise the extension in any option from 1200 to 600, the forece extension must be on for the gmx extension to be an option.

And after saving that way I keep getting the same error as I explain in the other thread.

Because you have an older LGM, I can't honestly tell you exactly where the error is occurring. It is pointing to a bullshit line in the latest revision.
https://github.com/IsmAvatar/LateralGM/blob/master/org/lateralgm/file/GmFileReader.java#L323

I do not have an older version, I downloaded from git two times today, the second one erased everything before building.
Unless the version in <code>https://github.com/enigma-dev/enigma-dev</code>  is not the new version?

You should try running install.py again or manually update LGM and the plugin.
http://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Extra_Packages

Okey, will do so right away, first with install.py and as second resort the download you point at.

You may also need to git-fetch from the main repository.

And the main repository is this?

<code>https://github.com/enigma-dev/enigma-dev</code>

Searching the forum found another Ubuntu user with the same problem, I can save as gmk and it opens correctly the game so I think I can wait for the fix.

Already solved it:

Executed Enigma in a terminal

This allowed me to notice Enigma was trying (unsuccesfully) to create a make directory in .enigma

Closed Enigma and created the directory myself

Executed Enigma in a terminal no complain about the directory but i got this:
 the paraser is unhappy
and also
error unknown continuing anyway

Couldn't open what I had saved as egm, Enigma complained about the file being corrupt.

Loaded the sprites and saved with the same name but didn't choose egm, instead left the default 1200

So it saved it as .egm.project.gmx

Now it gives another error, should I open another thread?

When trying to open the saved file it complains:

There was an issue opening a data input stream

After clicking OK this is the error report I get:

org.lateralgm.file.GmFormatException: java.lang.NullPointerException: null

I'm of to google it, wish me luck.


Edit1:
Already back, found something about a bug, supossedly fixed in newer version, but this is the version I downloaded from git this morning?

Is this a regression?

Am I doing something wrong?

Gremlins in my PC? 

Well just that when I finally got the time and started to work through some tutorial, load a bunch of sprites and decide to save the work done so far, Enigma throws this error:

Found nothing in google or the forum.

Working in linuxmint15 32bits

Will try to update to the version of the 16th of this month.

I'll report back what happens.

Edit 1:

Just checked that I already updated to the version available on <code> http://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Extra_Packages </code>

This is my Java info:

java version "1.7.0_51"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.4) (7u51-2.4.4-0ubuntu0.13.04.2)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

javac 1.7.0_51

Hope this helps

Finally, and please don't take this wrong, why don't you write an exception from scratch, without taking inspiration from anywhere else and propose that?

It's been attempted and nobody could agree on it any more than now.

Nobody? I would have thought the developers had the final say in this, after all is their work, kindly donated, that's in risk of being made closed source, and the comunity would most certainly lose a great piece of game making software!

Adopting the GPL with an exception is an urgent matter to prevent this, precisely this understanding was what motivated me to propose the general points of the exception.

Well, I have the source in my PC, and have begun to port the ide to FPC+LCL (Lazarus) this way it's multi-platform without deppending of the Huge Qt libraries.    Only wish I knew enough programming to port everything else! I would even rewrite the parser to parse to FPC and then you have a compiler for ios and android.  Of course that leaves the other libraries to investigate if they have pascal bindings (Not likely).

Atached below three versions of the exception: 

And they're all illegal. You can't just ignore the license that this license is under, slap on false copyright holders, and call it a day.

No they are not illegal, in fact it would be approved by both the OSI and the FSF, maybe with a couple of minor changes in order to eliminate some ambiguity but that's all, believe me when I say that I took the time to read more than a dozen exceptions to the GPL and the text in this one is a rippoff of two or three of them; taking care of making it seem as a coherent text.

The GPL and similar licenses do establish copyright, they give the user the 4 fundamental rights over the software, but the copyright stands, that is why anybody with a software under the GPL can sue anybody trying to close the source of their project. Well not anybody, you and me as simple users can not, we at best can go to the developers (copyright owners), and tell them about it; they do have the right to pursue legal action.

Furthermore you as a developer can ask the OSI and the FSF to take your software out of the license it is (As long as it yours and the license is theirs or aproved by them), and then proceed and close the source of future releases (construct clasic GPL - Construct2 privative, same developers).

Also the gpl itself is copyrighted by the FSF, and you can modify any free/libre license that you want but you would have to change the name too; that's why the FSF developed the GPLv3 with the mechanism for you to attach exceptions to it. So you dont have to develop a license that does what you want and/or use an even more permissive license that allows for a third party to take the code, change it or not, close it, rebrand it and then sell it without giving you the code of their changes/improvements.

As for the copyright holders, if not the developers team then who?, the wxwidgets exception has been approved both by the OSI and the FSF, and it says exactly that (the names are different of course); whose name do you sugest should be there?
