Thats great Alex!

I wish i knew how many times Unreal X-Editor was downloaded.

This is excellent work. I am experiencing an odd problem with the editor - when I start debugging, it automatically breaks on:

> Function Engine.OnlineSubsystem:SetAccountInterface Line:1037

Then, when I step through, the call stack soon starts to fall out of sync with the source files - I see :

> Function Engine.GameViewportClient:Init Line:568

While the highlighted line in the editor shows:

exec function SSSwapControllers()

It may be due to the fact that this is not a completely fresh install:

I had the 2011-04 udk only installed when I installed the editor earlier. Debugging didn't work at all with that so I installed the latest sdk (2012-02), uninstalled the editor and reinstalled.

I will try to completely remove the editor and try again, but thought yo might find this information useful.

Thanks again, without a tool like this, working with unrealscript is difficult, and pixelmine are asking for too much for small developers.

Hi peterfhannon, I am happy that you like my work.

Regarding the problem, I do have the same problem and it is not relating to Unreal Script IDE. It seems that some classes are compiled differently (I think it is due to native code in some classes).

PS2. My installs do not contain any kind of viruses or back-doors. I would be grateful if some one could install it and try it on his computer. Any feedback is helpful.

For your information, for your latest version of your program, the antivirus software VBA32 (update 20120321) reported Trojan.Buzus.hnkx.

Anyway of getting rid of this possible false positive warning? Thanks.

I am using Visual Studio Shell and I don't think it has a trojan. In my extension I am using internet only for "Google Analytics". And for sure I am not using VBA32. It seems that it is a false warning. And I do not know how to get rid of it. One of the option is to check with others anti-viruses.

Thank you for your feedback.

[Racer1]

This should be Stickyed also! Great work!

Do you know if is it possible to add some buttons to run the UDK editor? Something like, build and run the editor with a map loaded. Like this: "D:\UDK\UDK-2012-02\Binaries\UDKLift.exe editor MyMap.udk?game=MyPackage.MyGame"

[jrapczak]

You can specify additional command line arguments by right-clicking on UDKProject under your solution, going to properties, and specifying them there under Additional Command Line Arguments. Quite handy.

Im getting these errors, I dont know what they are about. After some investigation it would seem the parser is lying to me

Hi MonsOlympus

Could you create a better pictrure. I do not see any details on it.

Thx, Unreal Script IDE Developer.

[Spoof]

Problem could be related to macros. For example...

`IF_DEBUG
function DevPlugin( UDev D )
{
    //...
}
`ENDIF

... will highlight DevPlugin as Syntax error, unexpected IDENTIFIER, expecting'('

One other thing. Whenever I install the IDE, AVG Anti-virus considers it a threat.

[MonsOlympus]

Yeah macros kill the correct parsing of unrealscript. What kind of info can I give short of handing out private source code? It even errors with the default UDK source from Dec 2011.

example, this is giving a parse error in the ide on the else line. Its legit but I dunno how useful it is without the guts

	for(i=0; i < 6; ++i)
	{
		switch(//testcase){
			case //iscase:
				if(//stuff){
					//then
				}else
					//somecode
				break;
        }

If using Google Analitics is a threat then I agree with AVG Anti-vitus

Yes, Next thing will be improving parser to work with macros better

Could you try fix the parsing issue with selecting words through double clicking it? For example when I double click "pawn" from "Pawn.Health" it might highlight "awn" or "paw" or something else, this is quite annoying and seems to be completely random, sometimes it selects it completely correct, usually after re-saving the file.

Thx, Eliot, I will have a look inot this issue.

P.S. If you have more issues/sugesstion do not forget to leave then on "Issue Tracker" on IDE site

I had checked it, it usually happends when code is not complete and it takes a bit of time to refresh a parsing state. Just give it a bit of time to reparse or finish a logical code sequence to resolve the problematic behaviour. I will try to improve it if it is possible.

[MonsOlympus]

If you parse macros first and do the string replacement then parse the uscript as it is precompiled then that should be enough to remove all issues. The preprocessor isnt exactly fancy, apart from string replacement it doesnt do a whole lot in terms of functionality. I guess the main issue is that if a macro breaks the parsing of the uscript then it will cascade but much the same is already happening in macro heavy uscript already

you are totally right but there is a problem with macros. If I do process macros it will shift lines in code or characters and the parser will not know positions in a preprocessed file but in the editor it will be shown as the original file. So I am thinking how I am going to solve this issue.

[MonsOlympus]

Ahh yes, the compiler in 2k4 even used to have that same issue it would give you the line in uscript but it wasnt correct after the inserted macro so it made debugging very difficult. You can see remnants of the preprocessed files that have #linenumber (num) I have no idea what those refer to but a suggestion I kind of omitted because I wasnt sure of it was perhaps parsing both the uscript in dev/src and in content/preprocessedfiles but that would only work if infact all script had been preprocessed.

As it stands right now I dont think the errors Im seeing are correct lines or even errors at all in some cases, if macros were to be inserted then you couldnt actually say which line of uscript the error is on either since the error exists within a macro file.

Perhaps an idea would be to detect if a file contains macros and display the preprocessed file with the errors in that file rather than the original, that way for people not using macros nothing would change. It might get confusing but it already does having to crosscheck the preprocessed files with the originals.

Bug fixes

[Crusha K. Rool]

Yay, finally got around to get the program working. Now I can see again the awesomeness that a debugger is. :>

EDIT: But are you doing something special with the packages that get compiled within your IDE? I don't seem able to re-compile any scripts when starting the UDK on it's own with outdated script files. It says it failed to delete the existing packages, but none of them is read-only, so I don't see any obvious problem.

EDIT2: Oh, seem to have found the reason. Your IDE crashed during the last debugging session and although it's process is no longer in the Task Manager, it still seem to have a lock on those files. Really mean. :/

And apparently is the Manifest.txt gone as well.

EDIT3: Ok, figured it out. Apparently was there still an instance of UDK running when I was trying to recompile the stuff.

[hunharibo]

I use this IDE exclusively, it is awesome! Going to check out new version.

[Alexander77]

yes, unfortunatelly sometimes UDK shuts down quicker then IDE gets info about it and this situation causes a lot of locks for files because IDE can be in Task Manager and UDK.exe can be there as well.

so each time IDE or UDK crushes make sure that IDE and UDK is not "zombie" processes in Task Manager

I am thinking about porting this IDE to Visual Studio Shell 2012 but I am thinking is there any reason to do it?

I'd love it as extension for 2012, considering I have no use for the 2012 version yet.

[RNG]

ALL CAPS MENU ISN'T ENOUGH?

I guess the biggest thing would be the new solution explorer on VS2012 and intellisense improvements. Also Microsoft says its faster and has lower memory usage, but I haven't noticed any effects on my projects (which are not very large admittedly).

Other than those, transitioning into newer and better supported toolset would be nice, but thats not always a plus.

I've been using your IDE for some time, I find it to be the best one out there (nfringe included), if you want to continue to develop the IDE, I'd say go for it.

PS: Yes, all caps can be disabled

[Dinar]

I am thinking about porting this IDE to Visual Studio Shell 2012 but I am thinking is there any reason to do it?

VS 2012 looks very nice, and maybe works little faster, but i tested it only on my new ssd. Whenever, uside initial loading times take same time both on hdd and ssd.
Your IDE is good, and I using it on my project. But few things make my work little slower:
1. IDE turn to freeze some times. It may take a one or two minutes and happens in various situations such as adding new file.
2. Debugger isn't hitting break points some times, system reboot may help with this. Also when I try to stop debug session via shift+f5, editor freezes.
3. debug session starts with hitting onlineinterface class, but there is no break points in this place. Maybe you add a option to automatically skip first breakpoint?

I patiently waiting for new updates, this free instrument make my work lot easier. Good work, thanks!

[hunharibo]

I have been using this IDE for a long time, and it is awesome! I just have one bug/request to say. When you are accessing a certain item in an array, intellisense doesn't pick up on the members and methods of the class of the item.

var array<myclass> myarray;

myarray[0]. (and after the dot, nothing comes up).

Hello Guys!

I have just launched my Kickstarter project to gather funds to develop Unreal Script IDE 2012 (which is no fee license and open source project). Now I am looking for supporters and backers for the project. Thanks for support the IDE.

Hi Guys

I just want to inform that the project has been removed from CodePlex.com on request of Epic Games, Inc with grounds of infringing intellectual property.

Thank you very much for all your support and best wishes.

[Eliot]

Well that's surprising! What did you infringe then?

[Alexander77]

Well that's surprising! What did you infringe then?

i have no idea. I am trying to find out it. I suspect that this is using word "Unreal" in title Unreal Script IDE.
