Write, check and test Expand World Prefabs scripts in game, without typing yaml. Anyone can look; saving needs server admin.

CHANGELOG

Changelog

0.2.0

  • Scripts and sections: a script is now one yaml file and each block in it is a section, named by the # comment above it. The list shows scripts with their sections. One Save script writes the file, and only the section you edited changes. A section with no name gets one (# Boar - destroy).
  • Right-click a section to remove, duplicate or move it. Edit in text opens the whole script.
  • Step by step: a new section opens one step at a time: the object, then when it runs, then the optional filters and roll, then the actions.
  • Only choices that fit: every list shows only what your object and trigger can really use (no breeding values for a Deathsquito, no chest items for a creature, no spawning from a timer script). Switching the object clears what no longer fits. Show everything turns the guide off.
  • Drag the preview by its title to dock it left, right or below, or let it float.
  • Less text: help moved into hover tips, which now sit next to the cursor.
  • Fixes:
    • Checking no longer fails on files that use older forms (type: damage, type: command, nearby-object data), so every script file shows in the list again.
    • No more error spam in the log after "Edit in writer" or clicking around the window.
    • While the window is open, game keys (Enter for chat, M for map...) no longer go through, clicks no longer reach the hotbars behind it, and Esc closes it.
    • The mouse wheel scrolls the pick lists.
    • After "Test this section" you come back to the tab you left.
    • Saving no longer says "No answer from the server" when it did save.

0.1.11

  • Five languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Vietnamese. The translations are files you can edit.
  • Bigger, cleaner window: your list, the script, and a live preview of what Save writes, side by side. On a tall window the preview moves under the script.
  • Move the preview yourself (optional): turn on "Preview dock buttons" in the config to put it left, right or below.
  • Less clutter: explanations moved into hover tips, and tips no longer cover what you're reading.
  • Easier to follow: buttons light up when you hover or click, and popups dim the window behind them.
  • Fixes:
    • Lists like bannedKeys no longer get doubled commas (a, , b). Lists that already have them are tidied the next time you save. Your scripts worked the same either way.
    • Resizing the window no longer gets stuck.
    • Delete now names the script and the file it is removed from.
    • Pick lists close when you click elsewhere.
    • A server on EWP 1.65 was wrongly told it was out of date.
    • Long text fits its buttons in every language.

0.1.10

  • First release on Hexium: write, check and fix Expand World Prefabs scripts in game, with every hint checked against EWP 1.65.
