Null Spell Editor

[trevius]

Wow, that looks pretty amazing! Nice work and thanks for sharing that

I have your first bug report though; I am unable to load the skills.h file by browsing locally. It just seems to ignore it, or maybe it is loading for the spdat.h file instead when I try to load skills.h. The spdat.h file seems to load fine though. Also, the spell file itself loads fine.

It's awesome you set it to be that flexible as well as for it to be able to automatically adapt for the future.

EDIT: Another bug seems to be that it will not connect to my database either. I created a new user to test it out, and verified I could connect with that new user via Navicat, but your tool just times out.

Just ran it briefly this morning, and it works very nicely.
You did a good job on incorporating the movies and editing in one package, and my hat is off to you - good job.

I stickied the thread for the time being. Haven't checked it out but it sounds nice from what is described here.

Thanks for the comments and I hope you get some good use out of it.

After you try to locally load all 3 files does the submit button still light up despite it saying that the skills.h file is needed? I might have just forgot to set the status for that file on a local load.

Did you try running trustfall.bat? Is the database localhost or are you accessing it remotely? I am thinking it is either a flash sandbox issue (trustfall.bat will resolve this) or that my timeout is a little too militant for a remote database connect.

Yeah, the DB is on another PC on my LAN. I was finally able to get it all working by using IE instead of Firefox. I may still need to mess around with the Firefox settings to get it working properly. Either way, the tool is pretty impressive

[Akkadius]

Wow this is very impressive. Thank you so much for this!

I fixed the local skills.h load and put up a new version, enjoy!

[trevius]

The new version works great, thanks! I got skills.h to load locally just fine this time. You may want to specify on that screen that it wants zone/spdat.h and common/skills.h, because there is also a zone/skills.h file.

I can connect to my DB after running your .bat file, I just had to restart Firefox.

One minor detail is that the most recent upload seems to contain your assets and history folders outside of the NullSpellEdit folder as well as within it. Not a big deal, but thought it might be worth mentioning to reduce possible confusion.

Also, would it be possible to have a config file to save your file/DB loading settings so you don't have to set them each time you start up the editor? Another minor suggestion would be to set the default URLs for loading spdat.h and skills.h to use the trunk instead of the spells branch.

I haven't used the tool much yet, but so far I am impressed. I like how it automatically updates the icon and effect video as soon as you start altering either of those fields. Does the tool use the new icon types or are they an older version of icons? I don't know if spells might use a different gem icon and buff icon offhand, but if so, it might be nice to show both types.

I put up a new version that will save your loading preferences. I also added a button to reset them and a check box for password inclusion. The default remote location for spdat and skills are now pointing at the trunk instead of the spellsbranch.

The additional icon previews will take a bit more time then I have at the moment, but its definitely something I can work in eventually.

Thanks for the requests Trevius!

edit:

I spoke too soon, small problem with the spdat and skills file preference saving, ill have a new version up soon.
