Hi
I've started to venture into c# programming.
I feel like this will be a great way for me to gain some experience/knowledge, as well as provide something nice to the community.
What I want to do is create a tool that can be used for everything: tables, shn files, service management, and more (?)
So what I'm asking is what would you, the Fiesta community (or what's left of it), need or use in a tool like this.
Please post a description of your desired "feature" as well.
Along development of this project, I'll upload various sources, updates, questions, and screenshots for/of the tool.

Please keep in mind the questions are to help me learn and correct my mistakes.
As I stated, I am just learning c#, and though I'm a very quick learner, there's many things that I've never ran into.

P.S. plsnohate

Update 4/5/2015
- Added file backup functionality. If set, the program automatically creates a backup file when you save
- Added file tree. Look through files and drag them right onto the workspace (multiple files allowed)
- Added skin list. Can set different skins on the form

Screenshots

Questions
I'm having trouble with implementing the "Save All" function. It only saves the most recently opened file. Maybe because the path is not updated for each page's open file?

Would anyone know a thing or two about copy and paste functionality with DevExpress grid controls? I'm a bit stuck on that. I know there's a copy method with their GridViews, but there's no Paste method as far as I can tell.

Thanks

SHN Editor v(54L x 8 ^5)/12

Actually, the "SHNEditor" is outdated since years, the original code isn't clean, and CSharp said himself it was more or less trial-and-error, that he didn't really know what he was doing and that he'd do a lot of things different if he were to do it again.
None the less, you should take a look at the FiestaLib he developed (long after the orignal SHNEditor):

It's open sourced, so you can do any changes you'd like to hit and therefore it should offer a solid base.

Will definitely use this. Thank you

Any new ideas?

 

[Myth]

I want Fiesta Shark incorporated into your application, and the Action Editor as well, oh and a Quest Editor as well.

Greetz,
Miff.

 

[skeleten]

Actually, lets keep FiestaShark a tool on it's own. I do not think it's needed for "generall" pserver-'development' and it doesn't seem to be a good idea to me, to integrate it - its not an editor.
I should really re-do / show it some love though. Also everybody is welcome to improve on it - you can find a public repository under

Assuming this is the correct link you were trying to direct to.

 

[skeleten]

Yea you're right. My bad, fixed it

Would anyone happen to have the iQuest source.



Updated main post. Please read the questions section.

Well I only have the iQuest source for the 08 files, but I hope it helps.

I'll look at this. Thank you

Will you make this open source or closed source? If you plan to open source it I'd recommend having a repository. If you'd like to have it closed sourced at first you can host it @ bitbucket, they have private repos.
Once the weekend is over, I'd might be able to help you debug that NullRefrenceException

I'll eventually make it open sourced.

That's nice and reassuring to hear - thank you for that.

Yeah, I want to get at least a base version out before I make it open sourced. By base version I mean have everything working.



Updated main post with the code for the table save button in hope of some help.
