EsfEditor 1.4.5 (Updated Oct 24, 2009)

[Gomer_Pyle]

great work. Just wanted to mention this though. It seems to be considerable much slower and hangs up more using your node file hussarltw...

BTW. is it possible to make a search function? lets say u want to find all entries with the same number. "Find & Find Next". But i guess it is not possible or there probably would have been already.

Yes, it is possible create a search function. Try alpaca's esf research if you haven't already--it does a good job searching. You'll find a link in the OP of husserl's startpos thread. I will add search capabilities to the esf editor eventually, but right now I'm doing a major performance upgrade.

I reformatted husserl's node file. Let me know if it's faster.

[Gomer_Pyle]

It maybe a bit faster when it comes down to general use. But if you open REGION ARRAY .and FACTION ARRAY you get into (Not Responding) alot. My editor freezes for up to a minute or so. Always comes around. Probably has to do with loading the info or reading the new info??? I mean since those are the two arrays with most info.

No I havent tried alpacas esf research. Cant seem to find it.

Thanks, but mind telling me where to put those files and what program to open it with? Lots of unknown file extensions to me. :S

Here are the directions for use. You might read the next few posts where we discuss syntax.

You'll need to download and install the Python 3.0 engine.

I've started using v 1.5 and my modding life has been already upgraded in quality ! About Binary48 what I've told you stands only for the certain one in FACTION record. I've seen a lot more in several other records so I'll inform for any new fundings. Smells like something interesting with this value...

Great! Husserl has a stable alpha of 1.5. The rest of you should be seeing the release in the next couple weeks. It's much faster, even easier to read, and there are new values exposed. If anyone else wants the alpha, PM me.

Some observations:

* Both horizontal scroll bar are missing.
* When cloning the rows in the cloned record are double.
* There is no undo clone but I can delete cloned record

EDIT:

* If possible bring back the future of bold fonds for the record title that has been changed. Btw there are two other weaknesses in former editions where I don't know if you can do something about them. The first was that you could not save if forgotten trying to close the editor and after the save message appeared. Second and more important you can not transfer records between two instances of the editor.
* Issues when copy/paste a record from another startpos and delete the old one (saves only deletion).

I'll see if that's possible.

[alpaca]

I'll see if that's possible.

I wouldn't bother to be honest. You'd have to come up with a way to copy the stuff to the clipboard and then somehow make the other instance interpret it and paste it in the right spot. If people want to do this, I think they're better off opening both with the same program instance. What would be more useful to me would be not collapsing the node tree every time you save.

Hi everyone,

do you get any error if you add extra soldier to the troops? It works without problem but when I say ''exit to the menu'' or ''exit to windows'' i get empire.exe error. do I do something wrong?

[A1_Unit]

I got that too, I don't think it's a mistake so much as ETW rejecting the changes...

[crucify_ego]

does anyone know if Vista is the reason i cant save my changes w/ this tool and why i now get this error message

[husserlTW]

does anyone know if Vista is the reason i cant save my changes w/ this tool and why i now get this error message

Did you try to run the editor as administrator?

[crucify_ego]

Did you try to run the editor as administrator?

umm, i don't even know what that means? i'm not too great with computers

[husserlTW]

umm, i don't even know what that means? i'm not too great with computers

Instead starting the EsfEditor with double left click, use right click and in the pop up that shows up choose "run as administrator".

I get a strange error.
Try to clone or copy any victory condition when I have more than 12 in your own starpos. Save and look.
I can't post the text of the error because it ''only'' have happened 10-20 times... now it works fine, doesn't show me any error and I can see properly my starpos. I will try more times doing the same to give you the error. I have some images of the situation:
SO Windows XP SP3
Net Framework 2.0sp2 to 3.5 sp1

1)I clone or add a victory condition from my own starpos/or another. I don`t change anything more.
2)Save. I open the tree and I only see Campaign-Env, nodes have dissapeared.

I have a serious problem every time I try to add more victory conditions:

I had never just a problem. I've added VC for all factions in my All playable mod. Did you try the 1.4.3 editor without the nodes?
