ENIGMA Development Environment

Just an update to this, I figured out why isDirectory() was not working when iterating through a Jar, you have to export the directory structure info with the jar from the jardescription.

I just tested sorlok and building an exe with the "None" window system did not force open a terminal/cmd. It's probably something minor within the cross-compiler. I don't know whether or not Linux builds force a terminal open or not. We should probably add a preference for this somewhere, but then again I want to abstract systems such as "None" and "Shell" because they also mean two different things in graphics. None means absolutely no symbols, nothing at all, shell simply means the functions are shelled and able to work on any platform, headless in other words.

Here's another quick update, I've included some fixes from egofree, and I've finally finished that image effects frame!

You can update as usual using python install.py or manually from the Extra Packages page.
http://www.enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Extra_Packages

1) Image effects frame implemented and 12 basic effects including Colorize, Intensity, Outline, Emboss, Black and White, Invert Color, Remove Color, Remove Transparency, Sharpen, Blur, Opacity, and Edge detection. The little green spray paint can icon on the sprite and background frame will open the image effects frame. For sprites you can apply it to all selected subimages, otherwise just select 1 subimage, if no subimages are selected it will be applied to every subimage.

2) Fixed a bug in the search feature, resource action arguments will now be searched by name, useful for finding all uses of a script for instance.

3) A fix was included by egofree for the GMX writer to give all tiles unique names using the id, which works with Studio though is less hash-like. A similar fix was previously included for instances by myself.
https://github.com/IsmAvatar/LateralGM/commit/c6f7a9d9e56646c2a1a85c54d148e030c957be1f

4) Fixed exception in instance list of the room editor when selected instance has a non-existant object reference. For example you create an instance of an object and then delete the object resource, the instance becomes of unlinked.
https://github.com/IsmAvatar/LateralGM/commit/fe40e656d1a577d0556d29505aad3fe8548f1dac

5) Moved transparency functions, such as for checkered patterns, to Utility class.

TheExDeus his problem could be that he's using a cross compiler. Sorlok I always thought it was weird that your games would open a terminal, they aren't supposed to do that.

No problem sorlok and let me know if you need anything else! We also got that instance tree merged now so the other things you were working on when you get back to them should go a lot smoother now.

I can't decide if I like it or not, it just seems like this may not play well with doxygen comments if say the user uses doxygen copyright headers.

This has been in Studio for a while, you can use /// on the first line of code action to change its descriptive label. I just want to know what everyone thinks of this feature, maybe we could add it to LGM or not, would just like to know what people think.

Update here I've made more progress and figured out why some of the object scripts were not rendering properly. It has to do with how I have replaced the variable initialization, for CreateWall or CreateFloor I had to completely remove the initialization because the user is expected to do it anyway, so I see no reason why this was necessary as it would just make the object invisible anyway. This also requires that "Treat unitialized variables as 0" is enabled in Game Settings->Errors

This is the updated CreateWall() script. I hope these changes are correct and that the original creator would agree with them, since something similar would be necessary to port it to Studio anyway.
// CreateWall()
// This function creates a wall object and associates it with the object
// the function is called by. Before you can call this function you have
// to set the variables x2 and y2 which define where the wall goes to
// from it's origin, the variable height which defines the height of the
// wall and the variable texture which gives the index of the texture that
// is to be used for the wall. For information on optional variables and
// more information on how to use primitive objects read the help file.
Init();
InitializePrimitiveVariables();
/*
if (!ultimate3d_createwall_initialized) {
ultimate3d_createwall_initialized = true;
x2=0;
y2=0;
height=0;
}
*/
u3d_index=external_call(global.u3d_create_wall,x2,y2,height,texture,texx1,texy1,texx2,texy2,partsx,partsy);
if(u3d_index){
    u3d_type=7;
}
return u3d_index!=0;
The lighting and graphics and all now work just exactly as they would in Studio.


Edit: I managed to get the original dll working by fixing in ENIGMA's window flags and making them exactly the same as GM8.1
