Interesting...I'd need to figure out how to get the mapson my computer for this...And since 360 modding is rather fruitless for what I want, I won't be really trying this other than watching progress and getting excited. Anyway, Good job to all of those have put the effort into researching and programming this.

Great work

Its really cool that theres a Update function.
And I like the look, maybe later skinnable

I found some bugs :
-The Preview picture doesnt load everytime.
-I get an Error when I try to open an [hlmt] Tag with "Meta Editor" turned On.

Code: Select all

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I deletet the rest because I thought that it would not that Importand.

Hope this is the new Entity and will be popular as this

Im looking forward to the Progress in the next few months ...

So wait, can it or can it not resign the maps entirely?

Right now its entire purpose is solely for research. So no... As soon as it possible to resign you can start using this app to make mods.

If you don't have a tag selected and you choose to inject/extract the meta it gives an exception error, you can fix that with like 1 line of code.

yes... we know we can fix with 1 line of code...

or you can just not click it when you don't have a meta selected as there is no meta to extract anyways

A developer shouldn't depend on its user to not click something that should cause an error. The error shouldn't occur. :3

We will be sure to include a fix for it in the next autoupdate.

I know you know how, I'm just saying that because you should always take the opportunity to take out as many bugs as possible.

In every application there are lots of bugs, but the developer must also choose what is more important to fix otherwise they would never release it...

We're not speaking abstractly about all bugs. We're talking, specifically, about a single one, a simple thing to fix that would take no more than 10 seconds.

A simple one that we did not run into while we were testing it.

Mkay..? Nobody said you were expected to have fixed it before release, we're just saying it can be fixed now that it is known. You said "or you can just not click it when you don't have a meta selected as there is no meta to extract anyways," which implies you'd rather depend on your user to not cause the error than just fixing it. That's what we're talking about, not about having it accounted for before the release. I don't know why you're arguing about it or saying such a thing anyways. Shade said it will be fixed, that should be the end of the conversation.

Both of you are right, I'm pretty sure Anthony meant he didn't want to re release the application with the one line of code fix, so until they re release, don't click it, and Tural just meant to fix it eventually.

Well I had a lot of free time today, so seeing as you did release the source.. I went through and fixed just about all the errors and problems..

'Credits' fixed.. although couldn't include beta tester's names, as I did not know them..
You were using the [beta] picture in the 'About'..
Added a separator to the Help menu...
to fix the recent files problem, I edited the "RecentFiles" class, "Update_Recent_Files(...)", "Load_Recent_Files()" and added "Add_Recent_File_To_Menu(...)"..
To fix the 'Error Loading Map Preview' error I edited the "LoadMap(...)" and "GetMapInfoFileName(...)"..
"windowsToolStripMenuItem_DropDownOpening(...)" added to control its added separator (it added itself before, and then just stayed there..)
So the same custom files and folders are not found in both the [debug] and [release] folder, I added pre-processor commands so they would still be looked for in the [release] folder even when running in debug. Commands added to the newly added "InitialiseLibraryManager()", and the existing "GetPluginTag(...)" and "Form1_Load(...)".
Meta Editor now On by default.. edited "Map_Editor" constructor..
Changed 'ID' from long to short.. although I have no idea why you were doing the whole SHIFT OR thing, so maybe I'm in the wrong here..
Reduced flicker in the ME to pretty much nothing.. edited "Reflexive.btnExpandContract_Click_1" to use PreferredSize instead of AutoSize, and added "RecursiveResize". I also then implemented the "MetaEditorPanel", which uses an abstract scrollbar.. which is not totally perfect, but a lot better.. perhaps you can improve...
"Reflexive.cmbChunkSelect" DropDownStyle changed to DropDownList.. much better...
Fixed inject, extract meta where no tag is selected.. "extractBubbleButton_Click" and "injectBubbleButton_Click" edited..

The only thing that's missing is whatever you did to the update stuff, as the released source didn't include that.. Anyway source is attached, I'm sure you can easily implement and issue an update..

And for those of you just wanting to run the application, you'll find it at "\Engineer Source\ForgePC\ForgePC\bin\Release"..

Thanks Prey. I was planning on doing a few of those things, but you beat me to it.

Edit: My dad blocked all file transfer sites (Cause he's not so smart), could you please upload that to halomods.
