StarfireEdit3 v1.02 Released

[Mithel]

I have released my editor "StarfireEdit3":
http://www.mnstarfire.com/download/StarfireEdit3.html

This is specifically designed so that you can load three versions of the same file doing comparison of the first two and using that information to edit a third.

Specifically I use it by loading a v1.05b file in the left pane, a v1.05c file in the center pane and my mod version file in the edit (right) pane. Then I scan for differences in the v1.05b vs v1.05c files to find out what Paradox changed.

It's not much of a text editor but I think it beats Notepad.

Enjoy.

You are really a busy bee! So, what uses does this specific program has?

 

[Mithel]

My motivation for writing this one was to make it easier to detect the changes Paradox has made from one version to another and to be able to incorporate them into your own mod. So far it's already saved me hours of work and allowed me to easily notice some of Paradox's errors.

Good work!

Great job! Once you have made a minister file then I'd have it made!

Thanks mithel. Your utilities are of tremendous help.

I have 1 question for using the editor. How do you use the "Search" command. I can't figure it out!

 

[Mithel]

Mikel, the search works ONLY on the third window/file (what I call the "edit" window).

In the lower right where you have a text field entry box then "Search" and "Search Again" type in the string you are trying to find and then click "Search". It will start at the beginning of that file and search until it finds an occurance. If you want to find the next one use "Search Again" to scan from the current cursor location.

Please feel free to make suggestions and if I like them and can easily incorporate them, then I'll add them in.

Still wanting a minister editor eh? Well, unfortunately when I'm not being paid for this I do what I need/want and so far I haven't had a desire to edit the minsters. {smile} Sorry.

Thanks! That's a really handy prog. I can't stress enough how much that helps.
