Another Cfg Modder

[sciguy]

Ok, I am working on a CFG file editor. Will have WAD backup/restore, may implement overhaul mods. Here is the monster editing page so far:

Please post any questions, comments, or suggestions.

It looks great so far. Is it fully functional yet? I cant wait to alpha this.

[Cyrem]

Looks like a great way to visually modify RR. However the layout of the controls could be a lot more neater.

[Addictgamer]

Hey, great job!

Alpha would be nice.

[RockmoddeR]

:o I like it.... and the layout is fine IMO

[sciguy]

yeah, now that i got everything in, ill play w/ the layout.

*edit* btw, as it is in VB, I am learning it as I go, so it may take a little while to come out, but it will come out soon.

[Cyrem]

as it is in VB, I am learning it as I go, so it may take a little while to come out, but it will come out soon.

Yea I didn't think you knew VB, so it was a little bit of a surprise to see you pop out with this.

[sciguy]

Im a quick study and know how to search for example code snippets. Seeing an example of the code being used goes a long way in learning how to use it

*edit*

Update: If you place the program in the same folder containing the Data folder (if you are using the no-wad mod) or the extracted LegoRR1 WAD file, simply select WAD or Data in the toolbar, if you dont have it in the same directory as the folders, the WAD folder is named differently, or whatever, you can use the folder browser to select the folder containing the cfg file. The CFG location selection will automatically change to Custom. And instead of automatically scanning it on startup, the app will now scan the cfg when you press the button to do so.

[TheDoctor]

K, awesome, now WHERE IS IT?????

[apemax]

nice work. :)

[TheDoctor]

What is "only build on paths"? Can you put a little [?] button/tooltip next to the name to explain it?

[Cirevam]

I'm pretty sure that parameter controls whether or not a building needs to be built next to a power path. I'll agree that tooltips would be helpful for people who don't have as much experience as we do in the modding realm, so it would be a good addition for the newer modders.

[TheDoctor]

I also got two errors when i tried to scan the cfg.

I'm not quite sure why the second one cant find the .cfg, its right there, but i'll let the dev figure it out.

DOWNLOAD THE CFG MODDER HERE

Posted because sciguy never put a link in this topic

[sciguy]

Okay, the new release is out! I fixed a bug or two. I added the Rock Raider page, EC color changer, and the ability to associate the backup files with the app, and the ability to add an option to the context menu for cfg files to open it with the editor.

====================================================================================

A little preview of what is to come in the next release:

-Added: memory mod

-Added: Level editing

-Added: No-Wad mod lazor drain fix

-Added: Add new level wizard

[sciguy]

Ok, here's the deal: Due to several issues, I have restarted the cfg editor project. I am redoing the code and interface pretty much entirely.

[Eagle98]

I only found this just now. (Man, I suck)

It looks interesting. Any prediction when a stable/bug-free/complete version comes out?

[sciguy]

Well, the semester is almost over, so I'll soon have plenty of time. But I have no idea when a new release will be out. I am redoing it pretty much completely.

Everytime is try to run your CFG Editor I've got a Microsoft NET. Framework Error. I tried to Launch it in the RR Folder and in the Data folder.

Its a German dialog so I've got this Error Message: "Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt."

I could continue or abort the program. If I choose continue, the splash screen doesn't disappear and every variable is set to 0.

[Cyrem]

sciguy seems to have turned into a forum lurker. He comes on but never seems to post anymore. He also hasn't done much work to this for a while unfortunately.

I had the same problem.

[sciguy]

Sorry folks, ive been kinda busy, only able to pop on for a couple minutes. I have made some progress with the editor. I will test it on my own desktop (xp) before releasing this one. Here is an update:

-Now the default settings will be loaded on start.

-No more splash screen

-increased size, so things are not so cluttered

-Going to have own folder system (for items to import and exported items, and a settings file), but still no need to install, just keep the folder with it.

-Going to add drag-and-drop support for cfg/backup/import files.
