SE 5 Editor

[Fyron]

It should be noted that you do not actually need the iffs to get SE4-like damage at range; just use the damage at range fields (SJ posted an example in another thread).

[Devnullicus]

It should, as soon as I get the rest of the functions like "iif" into the editor. For this release, I only implemented the ones used by facilities.txt.

But as long as the formula is a valid mathematical expression, it should work in the editor.

Mmm? I’m not using SE4 style damage.

This editor will be of great help!!
I've always hated mucking with the text files.

I installed v1.0 (using all defaults) but get the following when I fire up the Editor:

"The application failed to initialize properly...."

Do I need to be in a specific folder when I execute the install procedure?
Did I do something wrong.

Please help.

Also, any chance you'll do something similar for the SEV map files?
Is there any way to include specifications for moons on SEV planets?
I really miss having moons in SEV

Thanx,
skigrinder

Devnull for the editors you need to have it show the iamge that is selected for the component or ship or whatever is being edited.

Nope, the installer should set the appropriate registry settings so that when the editor starts up, it knows where to find its data files.

What version of Windows are you using? Do you have the .NET framework 1.1 or greater installed?

[skigrinder]

Any way to make the editor work without .NET?

I'm running XP SP2 and have Visual Studio 6.0 installed and don't want to install .NET for fear of messing up a development environment that is critical for an app that I support.

Any ideas?
Am I being paranoid about not installing .NET?

[Devnullicus]

Nope, it's written in C# and requires .NET. Sorry.

When using the facility editor, it does list as variable only [%Amount1%] [%Amount2%] and [%level%].
Would it be possible to add more (there must be more, like the tonnage or structure of the facility isn't it ?)
