peedeeboy 23 Posted June 21, 2018 OENS (pronounced like the Welsh name Owens), the Odyssey Engine Netbeans Solution is/was something I've been working on. There are already a lot of great tools other authors have put a lot of hard work into - so I thought I would try and create something that has the full 'rich-client' experience that would run multi-platform, and the best way I could think to do that was to create a plugin for an existing IDE. OENS is a plugin for Netbeans 8.2 w/ Java8 designed for editing Odyssey Engine files. Sadly, it may not go much further - I'd hoped my current job would be a lot quieter than previous jobs and I would have a lot more time for my own fun projects, but sadly not Here's where I've got to (not that far): 2DA Editor Spoiler Open, edit and save binary 2DA files Full Undo/Redo support! Add/remove rows and columns Move rows/columns up,down,left & right Auto-resize column width for content Rename row and column headers To Do Text 2DA support Maybe add a descriptive box at the bottom for known 2DA columns à la TlkEdit NWScript Editor Spoiler Open/edit/save .nss NWScript files Full undo/redo support Basic (not 100% perfect) syntax highlighting based on the deprecated Netbeans language specification (basically regular expressions..) The palette (can) contain code snippets that can be dragged & dropped into the code (working - but I only have #Include at the moment. Suggestions?) To Do Write real lexer and parser Syntax checking Intellisense/code completion Code folding Allow user to specify location of nwnnsscomp and compile scripts or PIPE DREAM implement a Java based compiler At this rate it may be done in oooooh, I dunno, ten years??? 😂 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeeboy 23 Posted September 3, 2018 Had a free afternoon, so added basic Netbeans Project support: Project Support Create a new OENS project with skeleton structure (working directory and target folders) Netbeans recognizes project folder and creates appropriate logical view complete with custom icon Basic actions skeleton added (new file, copy project, delete project) Project preferences skeleton ready to be extended with user preferences Spoiler To Do Implement project action (copy project, rename project, delete project etc.) Extend New Project Wizard to capture KOTOR & TSL installation locations, 3rd party tools etc (nwnnsscomp et al) Add KOTOR & TSL installation locations to Netbeans favourites when new OENS project created, and open favourites window so users can drag/drop files from KOTOR/TSL to their project and vice versa Add preferences for installation location of 3rd party tools (nwnnsscomp etc.), syntax highlighting colours and so on 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peedeeboy 23 Posted September 30, 2018 Another teeny-tiny update: Project properties now allow user to select location of Fred Tetra's nwnnsscomp.exe Ant build script + action to compile .nss files to .ncs using nwnnsscomp.exe (right-click on .nss file -> Compile file) Added control flow snippets to Palette of .nss editor (drag and drop into code to insert snippet .nss files now open in CP1252 (Windows) encoding, so now more warning when Netbeans implicitly tries to convert to UTF-8 Spoiler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
