[TECH][TOOL] EUR modding v1.0

[TECH][TOOL] EUR modding v1.1

First, an advice, which is not really an advice, as much as a demand: if you're a moder, you have to:

1) use Ultraedit, there's nothing better than it as a "text" editor for a moder! You can get it from here (as a 30-45 free days trial with full functionality)
2) use Total Commander and you'll soon end up hating Window's explorer. You can get it from here (it's shareware)

And now, back to business: I've just finished compiling and making an EUR scripting language wordfile for Ultraedit, which means you won't have to torment yourself looking at some black letters on a white page trying to figure out what the hell was going on in there. I did it for me, as I consider it a must in order to not waste time while using the little free time i have making improvements to PI's EUR.

It won't only help you read and understand better EUR's scripts, but more importantly help you make faster better and error-free scripts.

It contains my full knowledge regarding EUR's scripting language at this moment, and it contains a LOT more commands than PI made officially public.

PS: it also contains an auto-complete feature (which needs to be activated in order to popup automatically, or forced manually by pressing CTRL + Space), meaning that it will offer you a list of commands fitting the starting letters of any words (while) you're typing (I've also added a screenshot for this).

Changelog
------------
v1.1
- some addtions and fixes
- added L14's colors in the UEdit32_Language14colors.INI in order to can be easily copy/pasted into UEdit32.INI

v1.0
- release version

Installation
------------
You need to replace Ultraedit's wordfile with the one from this archive (for example on my Windows's XP it's in C:\Documents and Settings\adonys\Application Data\IDMComp\UltraEdit\ after a normal install of Ultraedit), or append the L14 language to yours (if you want to keep it as it is). If you can't find the file, just try to search for a WORDFILE.UEW file on your OS partition. Also, you may want to add the content of UEdit32_Language14colors.INI in your UEdit32.INI (in order to have the colors set for it as I did them for me).

Legal Usage
------------
You are NOT allowed to use this file, or its content, in any commercial way without the express accept of its author.

THANKS!!

I'll try it as soon as possible!

 

[unmerged(42723)]

Didn't look so much into modding EUR except GFX but this looks like a very good tool

 

[Descartes]

Thanks

 

[Cheexsta]

Looks good, I'll have to give it a try sometime soon.

Thanks for all these tech threads, by the way. They've been very useful

 

[adonys]

I've added some words regarding the auto-complete feature, and a screenshot for it too.

version 1.1 uploaded

 

[nachinus]

I don't seem to be able to find UEdit32.INI

 

[adonys]

what do you mean? you aren't able to find it.. where? on your computer?

if yes, then check if:
- you installed ultraedit
- you eventually started it once (maybe he's making the ini file after the first run)
- search your entire OS drive ( the drive on which you have installed your operating system), and make sure you have system files marked as visible (have a look in here to see how, for different types of windows)

 

[nachinus]

Yes, I´ve installed UEdit, and have been using it with your 1.0 tool. I've searched for it with no results, perhaps the answer is in your 3rd option. I'll try it.

 

[adonys]

dunno.. for me UEdit32.INI it's in the same folder as WORDFILE.UEW, namely C:\Users\adonys\AppData\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit\ (I'm using Vista). maybe you installed it for all users, not only for yourself, which means you may find them in C:\Users\allusers\...

anyway, it should be exactly in the same folder as the one in which the WORDFILE.UEW file it is too. if you have that working, means you've placed the WORDFILE.UEW in the correct folder, which means UEdit32.INI should be in the same place.

maybe you don't have your system set to show the extension of known files (I think Window's explorer is by default set to hide the known files extension, and system folders and files)?!!

that's why using Total Commander instead Window's miserable explorer is WAY better.

 

[nachinus]

Solved! It was indeed hidden, oddly enough not in the same folder as WORDFILE.UEW (which was in the installation folder) but in Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\etc...

Thanks for your help!

 

[nachinus]

I just wanted to bump this thread with this useful tool and ask for a sticky...

 

[Sute]{h]

I second the motion for a sticky.

 

[Descartes]

Or maybe we could sticky a thread with links to all his TECH threads?

 

[orwell]

Very impressive, but I'm curious, how did you manage to get that list of all VV2.1 scripting options? Pulling it out of the exe?

 

[Sute]{h]

Pulling it out of the exe?

I think he said so in another thread.
