Ed,

When will I be able to download your editor or purchase it? I've waited to long :)


Koriolis(Posted 2003) [#4]
Ed, can't you fix the link to Visual Blitz IDE in your sig? I's frustrating seing all this and not being able to test it myself.


Binary_Moon(Posted 2003) [#5]
This is going to be sold so all the downloads have been removed. Luckily I got the last beta so I'm ok :)

Ed - What else do you plan for the commercial version? Being able to use the editor with all versions of blitz is nice (very nice) but not a reason to buy the app.


Koriolis(Posted 2003) [#6]
If it's the reason then it's not fair (and it's probalby not even a good idea for the "business"). I can understand, but he should still provide the versions that he already gave, and sold the full featured, bug free version. A lot of people have it anyway...
Speaking about this, if anyone can give it to me, I could at least have a look at it. I can't say right now if I will ever purchase it, but if I can't test it I will surely not.


JoeRetro(Posted 2003) [#7]
I 2nd Koriolis statement.


Binary_Moon(Posted 2003) [#8]
I'm pretty sure there will be a free version (feature limited) Visual Blitz Lite maybe?

I agree that it is wrong to remove the old versions since other people, like me, are using it quite happily.


Red(Posted 2003) [#9]
Sorry,
the link is not available.
I'll do my utmost to speed up the matter.
I'll post it very soon.


JoshK(Posted 2003) [#10]
Any plans to give me a free copy? :)

It looks great!


Ross C(Posted 2003) [#11]
That looks very cool. Especially the plus sign next the the functions. VERY handy me thinks :D :D


ronbravo(Posted 2003) [#12]
Thank you ED!!!!!
Again this is the best editor for Blitz ever. The switch compiler was exactly what I was looking for when I downloaded your program. Awesome and keepup the Good work.

Even though this a editor primarly for the Blitz langugage will it support editing in other languages like C++, that way we can make dll's in this editor as well.


Nebula(Posted 2003) [#13]
I had a bug with the last free version I am using. The one before the switch compiler.
I was compiling several old projects and I got a error message from a include. I then closed the project and loaded a new project. I compiled it and got a error message from the closed include and a memory access error ontop of that.

I had to close visual Blitz to make the error go away.


Dave(Posted 2003) [#14]
which langauge is this editor written in? i wrote a few folding function routine's before for a custom rtf container. Just curious...


darklordz(Posted 2003) [#15]
purebasic using the scintilla library....
further more i don't think Ed can sell this because he's using scintilla.


Kuron(Posted 2003) [#16]
I'm pretty sure there will be a free version (feature limited) Visual Blitz Lite maybe?
Although I have ZERO interest in this product, if you are going to sell it, it needs a name change BAD. There is absolutely NOTHING visual about this visual blitz ide. When I first saw it announced I was expecting a standard visual code editor (VB, OctoPod, Envelope, etc) but when I saw just a normal code editor, I snickered at the name and moved on.

Still think it would be nice is somebody wrote a true visual Blitz editor for use with Blitz Plus, it would be something very useful.

further more i don't think Ed can sell this because he's using scintilla.
as long as the scintilla copyright notices are included and displayed properly there is no restriction on commercial software.


Red(Posted 2003) [#17]
@White Eagle
You can send your request to Terabit.
He could transform his B+ GUI editor.

As regard the title matter, I'll change it as soon as I have a new idea. :)


Kuron(Posted 2003) [#18]
Ed, don't get me wrong, looks like an AWESOME editor, an being in PB it should be small and not resource hogging. Just the name was very misleading and caused a bit of a let down ;c)


Wiebo(Posted 2003) [#19]
White Eagle: a decent GUI editor is coming soon... don't worry :)


RetroRusty(Posted 2003) [#20]
What's that then Wiebo? You must tell us more :)


JoeRetro(Posted 2003) [#21]
Ed,

What is taking so long? I don't understand why we have to wait for your editor???


Apollonius(Posted 2003) [#22]
come on release it already ^__^
as long as its free, me want XD


Kuron(Posted 2003) [#23]
This is going to be sold so all the downloads have been removed.



3DBuzzFan(Posted 2003) [#24]
Hi.
I took a look at the IDE and it looks very good, indeed.
I have one request, thou...
Can you display the name of the function the cursor is at, on the top of the screen, or on the status line?
It would be a very nice feature to have.
Sometimes, I am editting some function and donīt have a clue of what its name is...
Then I have to scroll up to check it out, and then scroll down all the way back to the point I was editting at...
It canīt be just me, right? I guess a lot of peopke would like to see that.

Another request: Can you have some kind of "goto definition", as does the Delphi/Kylix IDE?
If you are not familiar with it, it works like this: click on the name of a user defined function, and Hit Ctrl+D.
Then, you are sent to the file where the function defeinition is, right at the line where it is defined.
Obviously, CTRL-Z should get back to the place where you were.

Now that I mentioned it... how about an undo stack?
I love B+, and can live with its IDE.
The only think that really annoys me is the cmplete lack of a decent Control-Z/Shift-Control-Z stack.

Thanks for your time,

Rui Barbosa Jr.

Binary People will not be taking any new submissions for the time being. We thank you if you have contacted us recently but at this time we will not be expanding our catalogue further. If you have contacted us recently and not received a reply then you can assume that we will not be promoting your title.


Ed, are you one of those unfortunate people? If so, how bout a demo download link?


Shambler(Posted 2003) [#27]
I've been using Ed's editor ^^ for a few weeks now, c'est magnifique! =)


Red(Posted 2003) [#28]
Ed, are you one of those unfortunate people?
Yes I am :(
Argh !! I'm waiting for nothing...


skn3(Posted 2003) [#29]
Why not just sell it yourself ?

Its aimed at blitz users.. so you don't really need to target anyone outside of the blitz/coder/showcase forums ??

Just an idea.


Red(Posted 2003) [#30]
Why not just sell it yourself ?
I've signed up with ShareIt. ShareIt takes 48H to update its catalog.

My website is online but under construction.


skn3(Posted 2003) [#31]
Ah I see :)


Apollonius(Posted 2003) [#32]
Seems very nice indeed, sad thing is, I don't have the money for it and if I get any money in the next 5 years, I'm gonna buy Blitz3D and SwishMAX :|
Me poor lol :(


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2003) [#33]
Where can I get a demo of this from?

Where can I buy it if I like it?

Also if I purchase it will I get free updates?


RetroRusty(Posted 2003) [#34]
Is there anything happening with ShareIt so I can buy this?


Red(Posted 2003) [#35]
- ShareIt want me to finish my website before, for support part.
- ShareIt want my swift code
I've my IBAN and BIC code but I've not this one.

:/ grr It's not finished.


Binary_Moon(Posted 2003) [#36]
The swift code bit is easy. Just ask your bank, it's a number used to make international monetary transactions secure/ faster.


Bremer(Posted 2003) [#37]
Whats the price going to be for this one. I tested the demo and I'll definately buy it if its not too expensive. It is a great improvement from the reg. IDE.


Koriolis(Posted 2003) [#38]
Ed, AFAIK Swift code = BIC. It's the same.
So come on now, no excuse any more :)

BTW, when you don't know, don't forget google is your friend.


GfK(Posted 2003) [#39]
- ShareIt want me to finish my website before, for support part.

Why don't you just use BMT Micro instead? ShareIt seems like a lot of pointless fannying about, to me...

BMT take less commission too.


Beeps(Posted 2003) [#40]
Support is a lot of fannying about? OMG. Swift code is a lot of fannying about? It's requred for the international money wire.

I guess Ed doesn't need to get paid though and I guess nobody wants him to support his product. Also sounds to me like Share*It have a better reputation as they want to try to ensure that their members support their products where BMT appear (from what you're saying) to want to stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap.


RetroRusty(Posted 2003) [#41]
Is there any news with this?


ChrML(Posted 2003) [#42]
In this version, have you fixed the old irritating bugs, like that it still points out an error, after it is fixed, and then runs the game, and the same next time I try, so I must restart Blitz to get it normal again?

Btw, free, or not free? I hear a lot people say it's going to be sold, but I didn't see any commeds from Ed from Mars himself.


Gabriel(Posted 2003) [#43]
"Btw, free, or not free? I hear a lot people say it's going to be sold, but I didn't see any commeds from Ed from Mars himself."


Just 7 messages up from your own, Ed says he's setting things up with ShareIt. It's going to be sold.


JoeRetro(Posted 2003) [#44]
I've waited for 2 weeks and 2 weeks to long. My money is going to the Protean IDE. Sorry Ed, but, time is money.


Red(Posted 2003) [#45]
@P-Q4
I'm not dead. Sorry for the wait.
My money is going to the Protean IDE. Sorry Ed, but, time is money.
It's your money.
