I hope soon, the main problem is I can't debug it myself and error messages don't tell everything. For now, there will be no 64bit release. But when it's finished, I more or less have to or about 80% of facepunch won't be able to use it.



I found a very good RP icon, but I thought the weapon suited DarkRP better. Also, the schema is only available on gamemode templates, you can't select that option for other templates.

[Persious]

Ah, okay.

[KatNotDinner]

Umm why I can't use the ide? Everytimer I start it on win7 32 bit It stops responding. Also Updater doesn't work anymore.

[GM] KillerLUA: Chewgum, I got banned for opposing 150$ being too much for a DarkRP gamemode. Could you post on http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1099390/6 that all updates for the next 5 days or so will be via twitter?

[Quark:]

Since it's going to be open source when it's all released, IIRC, someone can just make it 64-bit compatible.

[Cushie]

I want this so bad.

[KillerLUA]

My ban just ended, here some new updates I've made while I was banned:



Added an errors tab that updates as you type, it's designed for multipile errors, but the current system can only detect one. Double clicking on the error in the list will take you to the line containing the error



Finally got some basic generation of a derma window, as well as adding it to the new file menu and fixing some project problems.

So in short, the derma system is just about finished, I just need to add all the current controls and it's pretty much done. I've been making alot of other small updates that are not worthy of this post, but you'll find them out when it's released. Be sure to follow my twitter as I'll pick some random followers to help beta test as well as get the final version before anything else, I might also throw in a small cash prize to a random follower also.

The exclamation file in the project tree is a bug in the original GLuaR that I have not managed to fix, it's buried in the code somewhere. If you notice the tab is called preview, it's because it's an uneditable preview of the output. Coding manually will not be an option for derma windows, sorry, I'd have to code my own version of Lua to do that. You can view the preview by right clicking the file in the property tree and clicking View Code.

[Pantho]

I'm either dumb or tired, but can you throw me your twitter link.

I hate derma,but this would help a lot and I would be willing to help test when needed.

[CowThing]

That error tab looks really useful, I always make little typing mistakes.

Do you plan to implement a lua engine so that you can work out a few things such as:
1. Intellisense
2. Detection for when you try and pass bad args to functions (maybe even custom functions - that would be really cool)

Edited:

Obviously trying to recreate glua would take forever, but I'm sure you could find a way to get function parameters.

What's the point in the poll ? This project is amazing, and must be completed for the good of mankind. I would highly doubt anyone would put no to it. If they did then there just trolls.

I dont understand.

Do you mean you can use the derma editor and all and have it generate the code for you, but its a one way process? (IE you cant load up some derma and have a preview created out of it)

I tried asking that and I got a politician's answer.

The derma editor is a one way process, when you export the project, it will create a folder with a derma converted into Lua, you can still edit/change the one inside your project using the interface. Making it support both ways would be hell and require me to create my own Lua engine (not just reference the current engine) so that I can read the Lua and parse it into understandable information.

The derma is currently saved as an XML file until exported.

Intellisense is definitely a planned feature, so is syntax highlighting, but derma designing is by far the hardest and most useful feature, so I'm getting it out of the way for now.

Also, what the... I lost all my post ratings. Dammit.

Looks good, nice visual studio theme going on.

KillerLUA posted:

Just added enabling support and captions for DFrame's.

For the life of me I can't figure out where you got the property name of caption. In my opinion it should be something commonly standard like in visual studio and close to the actual functions name like Text. If that was a long property list, it would take me a while to find it.

Caption is a name I took from VB6 as well as Text doing good describing a button but not really a DFrame, I'll change it to garry's name, Title.

[KillerLUA]

A new update, just added the ability to import lua references into your project using the built-in browser which downloads a list from GMServers. You can update/add/remove your references with ease.



There are three icons, Downloaded, Update Available and Downloadable. As you can see, Progress bar has a plus icon meaning it is downloaded. Since I doubt there are that many libraries out there, there is no uploader. This avoids spam and useless content being placed into peoples creations.

[Quark:]

Very nice! Can you also add a "Unused references" button to check for any references that aren't even being used, like in Visual Studio?

[Persious]

I've been away for a while. But as far as I can see, this looks great, and just gets better!

[KillerLUA]

I'm hoping to get it released soon, with a decent amount of features. I'll always update my twitter with anything Garrysmod IDE before I post on facepunch, as well as some other ideas I've come up. Feel free to follow me.

[Persious]

If I'm sure, then I'm already following you.

[KillerLUA]

I am still currently active on this project, just a quick status update.

I've been adding a couple of 'Microsoft fail' workarounds so I can embed the required DLL's directly into the main program to save some folder space. The data files will now be located in a compressed zip file. It will mount the zip to a 'virtual directory' like any valve game does, if you add any files to the directory then will be read by the program. You can override any files in the compressed file by simply adding it with the same filename relative to the working directory. As in, you can override the DButton control by adding your version of DButton.lua into a new folder with the name control. When DButton requests any resources, it will check the compressed folder as well as the main program folder.

I don't know why anybody needs to know this in this thread, as I will probably add all this information into a help file if any is released with the program. Also, the derma designer and some basic export features are finished which kind of put's the program in a Beta state.

[Quark:]

-snip, i'm dumb-

[KatNotDinner]

Can you give us something to test? :D

[KillerLUA]

Nope, because It's not ready yet and I would get bug requests flying in from all directions. It's not that I'm keeping it from you like Gabe Newell keeps Episode 3 from us, I'm not releasing anything yet because it's simply not fully functional yet, and some parts of the functionality have bugs or things that arn't right because I'm doing alot of debugging.

If I need beta testers, I will annouce that on this thread. A quick update though, the program is now conviently stored as a 2mb exe, the DLL's don't like to be loaded from memory because it's some kind of 'unmanaged' code microfail. So instead, it extracts them to the local directory and deletes them when the program closes.

[KatNotDinner]

Well, that's normal. But I would ask you just one thing. Please add dpropertysheet and dpanel coloring to your dermadesigning features to make many people's lives easier.

I'll remember to add that, I'm also adding an FTP tab for advanced/quick uploads to your server's FTP folder. As well as the ability to upload every time you save (like in dreamweaver).

[KatNotDinner]

Thanks :D. Well I hope you finish this in the next month.

[DjMadd]

Is the download link gone? Im very interested in this.

[Quark:]

The download link isn't a usable copy

[DjMadd]

Ah, well Id like to get a hold of a usable copy if anyone has one!

[asyx]

Great work but why do you copy VS? Visual Studio is the worst IDE i've ever seen! The taps and the ugly properties window and stuff...

[KillerLUA]

There is no working copy yet as it hasen't been finished. If you find an old one, you will get tons of bugs and a project format that will soon go out of date. As the for the VS IDE, I think it's great, I think the disagree ratings show my point.

I'm adding 'shiny' the the IDE, as apple does to it's worthless, over-expensive, status value products.

[Kidd]

I'm curious if there has been any progress.

[KillerLUA]

Yeah, I've paused a bit on the development as I've had some family matters so I've been unable to work on it. I should be able to start before the end of this week.

Hey buddy, good job removing that source, those icons are still mine and you are using them without any authorization.

Edited:

You know, people ask before they use someone elses work. Even more if they hotlink it.

[Deadman123]

OHHH, its sorta like Adobe Dreamweaver for Website development

[KillerLUA]

Kind of, but I aimed more at Visual Studio. I am still working on this by the way, but since garrysmod beta is coming up very soon, don't expect a release. Because anything you make with it would be out of date anyway.

I've been working alot on getting the derma designer to save and load properties correctly, as well as getting the most important feature done. Exporting, which exports the current project to the specified folder either as an addon or a gamemode. I'll also have to make some code to export derma's.

If anybody wants it to be released sooner, I can remove the language feature until I've got a stable release. But that still means it won't be ready until after Beta.

Thankyou no1dead for your generous donation, I've added you to the OP as well. I haven't forgot to give sombody who follows me on twitter something when it's released. I'm not exactly sure what, but it will probably be money.

[KillerLUA]

Check the original post, you can now request garrysmod ide (although it's not finished) and I've included a F.A.Q as well.

Thank you Garry for a copy of Garry's Mod BETA

[KillerLUA]

Sorry for the requests, been a bit tied up lately. I'll send them to you as quick as possible. Just a quick status update, I've finished adding the new skin, but I'm still lacking derma controls. Hopefully they can be created by other people since it's just lua that paints them anyway. And it's no harder than this:

local CONTROL = {}
CONTROL.Icon = "dframe_32"
CONTROL.BackColor = color.transparent

function CONTROL.Paint(w, h)
	DrawTexturedRectangle(0, 0, 6, 26, "dframe_upperleft")
	DrawTexturedRectangle(w - 6, 0, 6, 26, "dframe_upperright")
	DrawTexturedRectangle(6, 0, w - 12, 26, "dframe_topfiller")
	DrawTexturedRectangle(0, h - 6, 6, 6, "dframe_lowerleft")
	DrawTexturedRectangle(w - 6, h - 6, 6, 6, "dframe_lowerright")
	
	DrawTexturedRectangle(w - 18, 7, 11, 11, "dframe_close")
	
	DrawFilledRectangle(0,26, w, h - 32, Color(100,100,100))
	DrawFilledRectangle(6,h - 6, w - 12, 6, Color(100,100,100))
	
	DrawText(30, 5, "Arial", GetProperty("Caption"), color.white, 1)

	--This function is required, not supplying this will cause an infinite loop
	EndGraphics()
end

control.Add("DFrame", CONTROL)

CreateImage("dframe_lowerleft", "dframe_lowerleft.png")
CreateImage("dframe_lowerright", "dframe_lowerright.png")
CreateImage("dframe_upperright", "dframe_upperright.png")
CreateImage("dframe_upperleft", "dframe_upperleft.png")
CreateImage("dframe_topfiller", "dframe_topfiller.png")
CreateImage("dframe_close", "dframe_x.png")

Easy as bacon and cheese, pie and potato, chicken and JACK DANIELS SAUCE mixed with ketchup and basic pasta, painted with a little bit of orange sauce.
