Missing braces - Editing tools used

[Arkady]

Hi,

I have two topics...

first: There are some wrong brace in 1066_scenario_characters.inc, CK don't differentiate between braces and parenthesis, scenario load withou problems. Following characters have left parenthesis in mother or father - ID = 427, 1330, 6641, 7054, 7300, 7302, 7400, 11020

second: I found it very quick with tools that I use for editing. For all programming and webcoding I use great utility PSPad and I use it for editing CK too. You can switch to different colorcoding (for CK I change syntax to Forth language) or create your own for keywords in CK, but most powerful tool is possibility to mark text between braces or found corresponding brace ... no more problems with missing braces. Program can be integrated into system and can replace standard Notepad...

What is your favourite tool for editing CK ?

Nice find

I checked the '1066 scenario bugfix project' .inc file out as well, it has the exact same errors as the original. While I was at it, checked the other two scenario files, they seem to be fine as far as this issue goes.

Since you asked, I use Ultraedit for editing just about everything. I love this program, it checks out braces as well (ctrl-b).

I use Microsoft Visual Studio for editing events - unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have a facility for balancing braces. It wraps lines at 2048 characters (without respect to whitespace in the lines) so I use Notepad for editing savegames, with those long capital and province lines in the header.

Stricly speaking, the left brace/left parenthesis is not a bug, just how the syntax is defined. It has been that way in every single game Paradox has developed until now as the same basic parser is used.

It is however messy for those of us who like balanced braces and parenthesis
