YouGroove Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm just curious and i would like it : Is there some better Lua editor planned ? Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I don't use Lua but I now know that most of the community does. What are the most critical features and/or bug fixes you're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Basically more Visual Studio like features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 We're experimenting. I don't want to announce anything because I don't know if it will work yet, and I am not lead on this. 2 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

DatSexyGrid Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 isn't it possible to just use an external editor? Sure it is. I am using sublime text all the time. Thats nice:) Quote Ignore my silly nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 But then you've got no F5 button, no debugger, and the script window doesn't stay on top of the editor window.

beo6 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 well. ALT+Tab and F5 is quick enough for me, about the debugger that is right, but i can still see the errors in the included editor. STRG+G and the line-number is quick to get to the error line. And the always on top editor annoys me anyway. I have no Full-HD screen so my screen space is limited enough.

Rick Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 You gotta run dual monitors. I couldn't code without that anymore. It's just way to nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beo6 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 i agree. i have two screens at work so i know how convenient it is. especially since more and more things seem to default to full-hd screens i think i have to look for a new/additional screen. My current one is heavy as hell. probably because it has a real glass plate in the front. (and no, it is not a CRT) i would like to have a 16:10 screen again but i think they are no longer build.

Rick Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I have 3 at work and would love to do that at home but don't have enough desktop space. I think 3 is a sweet spot. LE editor on 1, VS on another, and a browser on the 3rd googling for coding stuff. In actuality I hate the fact that the Lua editor is always on top and connected to the LE editor. Often with 2 monitors I have the LE editor open on 1 and the Lua editor on the other, but I then have my browser open behind the Lua editor. So then I google and want to keep my page open but when I click the world editor it also brings the Lua editor to the front over my browser. I hate that they are connected. I honestly don't step through the Lua editor much because it has some bugs I've noticed and isn't very fluid as VS when debugging so I should just use another editor but it's annoying having to flip over to LE to run. I suppose Notepadd++ (and others) probably have some macros that I could run a batch file that I make to run the debug or release exe with parameters. I was playing around with making an editor using node-webkit and it was going fairly well as it was just combining existing javascript libraries, but I just don't have the time to get into some of the finer details that make a great editor. Not enough hours in the day Honestly http://luaedit.sourceforge.net/media.html looks perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beo6 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 @Rick, i have read about your playing around with node.js. Did you have uploaded it to GIT or something like that? But since Josh is experimenting already, i think we will see what comes out of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I didn't. I should do probably do that, but yeah it'll be interesting to see what Josh comes up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
