[Request] Editor Frontend for Kaiser's Strife Dialog C.

Tormentor667 · Post by **Tormentor667** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 9:24 am

Is there anyone out there who is able to code a little frontend for Kaiser's Strife Dialog Compiler? I mean... it shouldn't be too hard as the code itself isn't too complicated but I really would like to have something that's easier to work with.

Seconded

I'm sure there already is one. It was posted on these boards a few months ago.

And multiple times too. Its not exactly a front end since it doesn't use KSSC, but it can export to KSSC.

There is a chance I'll get around to doing a C++ version of this, but don't expect it anytime soon.

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of.

Ideally, though, it's the ZDoom engine itself that should be made able to read a text version of dialogue lumps... Of course it's not a high priority, but that's the prerequisite to generalizing and expanding the dialogue subsystem.

How do I use that? It's a JAR file?! ...

...something that can import and export a txt file that you can later compile with KSSC would be awesome.

Jar is a java file, you probably need to install it.

I have the latest Java installed, but when I try to open it with Java, nothing happens

A .jar file (java archive) is like a pk3: it's really a zip. Open it in an archiver and check whether it really contains java code or whether there's a problem.

Opening it with winzip shows an emtpy archive...

That explains a lot.

If you have Java installed double clicking it should do fine. If the jar is actually empty I would suggest redownloading since I haven't updated the program in awhile so I doubt it was a bad upload. If double clicking does not work you can try:

Code: Select all

C:\Path\to\java.exe -jar DialogEdit.jar

I don't know why you would do that. You can safely ignore KSSC altogether with my program. (Using the internal compiler/decompiler has a higher chance of the results being correct.)

Oh well, okay, I will redownload the file retry

Another question: Why does it need the strife.wad? Is this for Strife only or also for custom DECORATEd actors that can be talked to?!
