Editor

Do you have any known steps to reproduce the issue?
It seems like `document` might be zero, so, you have to check if there is any document to begin with. Also, how do you assign the `document` variable?

Open table event:

            XtraTabPage addedpage = new XtraTabPage();
            OpenFileDialog open = new OpenFileDialog();
            open.Title = "Select table";
            open.Filter = "Text files (tab delimited|*.txt";
            if (open.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                path = open.FileName;
                addedpage = Tabs.TabPages.Add(open.SafeFileName);
                Tabs.SelectedTabPage = addedpage;
                if (open.FilterIndex == 1)
                {
                    DevExpress.XtraSpreadsheet.SpreadsheetControl sheet = new DevExpress.XtraSpreadsheet.SpreadsheetControl();
                    sheet.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
                    addedpage.Controls.Add(sheet);
                    IWorkbook document = sheet.Document;
                    using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(open.FileName, FileMode.Open))
                    {
                        document.LoadDocument(stream, DocumentFormat.Text);
                    }
                }
            }

Save table event:

        IWorkbook document;
        private void SaveTable_ItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e)
        {
            var save = XtraMessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to save this table?", "Save file", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
            try
            {
                if (save == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)
                {
                    document.SaveDocument(DocumentFormat.Text);
                    Status.Caption = "Table(s) saved.";
                }
            }
            catch(System.NullReferenceException ex)
            {
                Status.Caption = "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.";
            }
        }

The easy way is to check at the start of the event if the document is null like
if(document == null) {
// messagebox?
return;
}

but that wont fix the real problem, unless the error occurs only if you have no open documents

Why does everyone create a SHN editor as their first project.

This isn't an SHN editor. It has support for SHN files, but it's not constricted to just this one type of file.

 

[Manova]

Yeah, this hasn't been done before.

 

[Mars]

Yeah, this hasn't been done before.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not.

 

[Cyndaquil]

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not.

Well, it has been done multiple times before, so it can't exactly be sarcasm.

A tool for Fiesta to edit multiple file types?

 

[skeleten]

I think Cedric did some tool a while back that did both SHN as well as shine tables.
Also, I once did a tool for editing the merchants (it's open source, you may incorparate some parts:

You must be registered to see links

; it might be outdated though)

or you could simply open them in excel, I don't know why you guys like to over complicate things.

 

[skeleten]

Yea, you can. The thingy I wrote made making the merchant tables a lot easier though.

Pretty excel is easier (Y)

 

[skeleten]

Did you actually take a look at what I was refering to?
Anyways, Yes there were projects about multiple files, but none have replaced the SHN-Editor yet.
Also, you might want to add the tools for the quest and text info files into the tool your building, that'd be nice.

 

[Mars]

I'll try to incorporate these ideas. Thanks.

Updated main post

 

[Mars]

Still looking for assistance if anyone is able to help me.

 

[Mars]

Ok my post was deleted.
It's saving most files but the ones like ActiveSkill.shn and TextData
Maybe these files are in a different format or something?

Sorry for the lack of posts.
Thought I'm still working on this, I have a lot of other things that need to be done.
I'll continue to work on this and post updates again as soon as I can.

Good luck with this. I'd help but I'm more of a web developer. And I know a lot of Delphi. Haven't really read many books on Visual Studio's stuff yet. Getting there but slowly. Once I get there I can help you out.

Honestly most of the SHN Editors out now are good. But I always wanted more Lol. Always felt the SHN Editors were incomplete and buggy sometimes. Mr. Farbods being the one I use now. A lot better then some of that version 3 stuff. But hey who can complain its free.

</hippocrisy>

If you make one. You gotta make some new features.

First new feature: New Stuff based on old stuff. Like seriously. Why do i have to go to 3 different files and search and copy and paste, just to add a new item. Some of it is just plain stupid. Like MobSpecies.

Imagine a program. Where you give it your Shn Location of all your shns. Server and client side. And then You have a make Item dialogue. And you have two text boxes. One is labeled (itemInx to copy from). One is labeled (name of new iteminx).

So e.g. Copy from: ShortBow; New Item: ShotgunBow. {Create Item Button}.

Boom you click that button. It opens ItemInfo, ItemViewInfo, ItemInfoServer. Does copy and paste based on Row with Index name ShortBow. Reindexes it to a new index number (at bottom of shns). Then changes the index name to ShotgunBow. And Viola you just added a new item. And saves it.

Without having to do like 10+ clicks/ and other crap.

Automation is key.
