ENIGMA Development Environment

As I said it was a better idea to just test LGM by itself without ENIGMA hooked up or any ENIGMA stuff first.

1) If you can, send me the EGM's and I will fix them
2) Also try building this simple GMK

3) A copy of enigma-dev/output_log.txt would help as well

I am honestly surprised for the rest of us the transition has gone pretty smooth.

Quick update with some small changes. As always you can update using python install.py or manually downloading the new jars.

Josh made the find dialog behave like it does in Eclipse, it will center to the window the first time it is shown and then stay where the user closed it the next time it opens. JoshEdit also now prints the line numbers. I still recommend sending to OneNote or some similar program to preview before printing until this feature is further tested.

That's exactly what the 11th plague just requested, you're now the 4th person to suggest it, don't worry it is on my todo list. 

When I had the error, the loading dialogue was in the way of the program, and I couldn't close it (the window) or the dialogue. I used task manager though, so it's all good. I'm just saying, as you said

Actually, haha, I had that too because I went and replaced the plugin to test the issue. That only happens going from the last version to the new version because I added checking for changes to the close button, so all other exception dialogs you receive in the future, you should still get a chance to save/exit without having to go to task manager. It was just blocking you because when you went to close it was looking for the check for changes method which was causing the initial exception. So that is only a temporary bug 

I don't mean to request anything impossible, or too much work to even bother with, but is there any way you can implement a feature that when an object is renamed, any scripts refferencing the object are updated? If you think it would freeze the program on some projects, why not make it optional?
Just a request, I understand if it's impossible.

I am sorry, you're now the third person to request it so it must have just slipped my mind. It is on the todo list, but I don't think it will be in 1.8.7 stable. It requires quite a bit of recoding and we haven't made plans on implementing it but I definitely want the feature implemented, I use refactoring all the time in Eclipse.

Another update, I have fixed a ton of JoshEdit issues. As always you can update using python install.py or manually downloading the new jars.

1) The FindDialog will now be properly centered again as it always was.

https://github.com/JoshDreamland/JoshEdit/pull/25
2) Fixed a shift+tab issue with selected text where you could make the selection go out of bounds and throw an exception.
https://github.com/JoshDreamland/JoshEdit/pull/24
3) Fixed the final issue with centering the caret, JoshEdit was not settings its preferred size when initialized, the caret will now be properly in view if you double click a search result on the very last line of a source. I actually have two patches for this submitted, I am not sure which one Josh will go with.

https://github.com/JoshDreamland/JoshEdit/pull/22
4) Attempted to fix some glitchiness with selection when you drag left to right or top to bottom past the last line or character of a line outside the window. The view used to jump around because the mouse scroller update object was not being properly stopped and we needed a view bounds check on setting the viewport.

For the resources tree, it makes sense to not expand it by default, as the user will likely not work on all resources.

Well Eclipse don't actually expand the whole tree, the expand the top most nodes and the very first one the whole way. I don't really feel I agree with expanding the entire tree because that can be laggy and the user may find that even more frustrating when they already know where they want to go to in the search tree.

How do you expect testers (Well, anyway i am the only one really testing here ! ) to achieve correctly their task if the application is filled with hidden and secret functions ! 

You can test it when it's ready to be tested.

I don't see any difference when i switch the setting 'Decorate Windows Borders'. What is the the purpose of this setting ?

Left is Swing Look and Feel with decorated window borders. The right is Swing Look and Feel without decorated window borders. The point is some people may want their native window borders, like me. This setting does not effect the MDI area however.

For hardware acceleration, what happens if i set to 'on' both Direct3D and OpenGl ?

Direct3D is always forced on regardless of whether your hardware supports it. If you set it for both OpenGL and Direct3D then only OpenGL is used. On Windows when OpenGL is forced on, Direct3D is forced off and so are framebuffers because the implementation is buggy on Windows. For instance when I tested OpenGL on Windows 8, all frames except the main JFrame were white, such as preferences and open/save dialogs until I disabled framebuffer objects. It's not a driver issue, it's an issue with Java's implementation, I use surfaces all the time in OpenGL namely ENIGMA.

In general settings, the language is set to English, but i still see the french version. It doesn't seem to be taken into account. It is based only on the OS language.

No that is not the case, you have to restart for the Language pack to take effect. I just set the French version fine. Though I do hate how badly maintained these translation files are. It would be nice if someone could go through these and update the missing translations. This is specifically why I want to also move language files external to the program and only include English by default.

Do you think you would have the time and motivation to do this Robert ?

Possibly after I finish JoshEdit fixes, printing, and other stuff, we are currently going through and fixing some regressions we introduced upstream and also fixing existing issues and exceptions I have been discovering and documenting.

I would like take to a moment and welcome sorlok and egofree both to official contributor status on the forums because of their awesome contributions to the project. You have both been immensely helpful to me, the project, and other users and forum members here. I like having you both as contributors of LGM and ENIGMA, you are both extremely personable and reasonable people and it has been a pleasure working with you both.

Congratulations, you've earned the title!
