Component editor
 

Has anyone been able to get this to function in WinXP or is there a better/newer option? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Component editor
 

I use it all the time in WinXP. No problems.

I use wordpad... works every time, except when the file gets over a couple megs in size http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Component editor
 

Wordpad? You need to find a better text editor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Plenty of free ones out there.

Re: Component editor
 

You might try MetaPad. It's free and very robust.

Re: Component editor
 

I too use word pad. It is very handy.

Re: Component editor
 

What exactly is this tool you call "Component Editor" ? I only know the "SE 4 MODDER"

Fyron: Which tool would you suggest, aport from the MetaPad Gandalph suggested ?

Re: Component editor
 

I use Editplus, but it is not free (25 dollars or something) and I haven't really mucked around with others (such as Metapad)... I don't really have a recommendation.

Re: Component editor
 

I use PSPad with a syntax hilighting for SE IV. Good editor and free.

Re: Component editor
 

I like TextPad a lot.

Re: Component editor
 

I like Notetab Lite, another free one.

Re: Component editor
 

I use the component editor with XP with no trouble. Then, I switch to Notepad for the really hardcore editing.

I swear I'll finish some day.

Re: Component editor
 

MetaPad. Most definitely MetaPad. It can handle big files and is very handy to use. Its interface is a mix between Notepad and Wordpad, and it's simply much better than both. I never use Word anymore since I installed OpenOffice (which sometimes makes my pc hang up and which I never use to edit .txt files). I don't even think if Word can open .txt files?

Re: Component editor
 

It definitely can. I can't imagine any possible reason why it would be unable to. Microsoft has very good office suite software... it is primarily just the OSes that they fall short on. Too bad they won't abandon the OS and focus on where their strengths are. Oh well.

Re: Component editor
 

They'd just ruin that too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Seriously, MS has a big habit of making good software then proceeding to cripple it in the name of "upgrades". Hardware, too.
