| ||
| Looks awesome. I think I will buy a copy come pay day :) |
| ||
| Excellent, I have been waiting for the final release for awhile, i`l be buying my copy tonight, good work Ed. |
| ||
| Ordered! |
| ||
| me too :) Doh! 2 posts in the same week ;) |
| ||
| I ordered this today as well. I was very happy with the beta and I'm sure this is going to be a great IDE replacement :) |
| ||
| @msx, Hi Man ! i know that is off topic, but the 'msx' was my first computer (msx2 philips !!!). My favourite game was Metal Gear ! |
| ||
| has anyone actually recieved this yet? Steve |
| ||
| Nope... |
| ||
| Sorry, I'm really noob :) Check your mail box. I've lost a lot of time but now all is OK. |
| ||
| Got it ta :) |
| ||
| Under Contruction ----------------- - Compiler Output (It will fix red line highlight bug) - Reshack frontend - Upx frontend - Template Edit - change 'Find Next' and add 'Find Previous' - Perhaps remove 'Replace Next' |
| ||
| Got it now thanks Ed. All the best Steve. |
| ||
| Just got it downloaded, thanks Ed. Looking forward to the upcoming features. |
| ||
| Hey Ed, don`t forget the calculator and media viewer, it would be cool if the user could set a path to a media viewer of there choice, also if you could make a shortcut key for the media viewer like the quick help, but get it to open the highlighted media file. eg: if the cursor was over "model.b3d" and you press F2 it would open the model in the viewer. Cheer, Lee. |
| ||

| ||
| - for calculator too ? This solution is easier to code for me :) This will launch the Windows Calculator prog: ExecFile SystemProperty$("systemdir") + "calc.exe"Should work in all versions of Windows. |
| ||
| Just ordered :D |
| ||
| Launching the windows calc would be great... |
| ||
| It's the only IDE I use - it just wouldn't be right for me not to reward Eddy, and 22 bucks (Australian) is a steal! Chalk up another satisfied customer. |
| ||
| it just wouldn't be right for me not to reward Eddy, and 22 bucks (Australian) is a steal! Yup. This should come as the standard Blitz IDE.I think the old IDE is getting a bit long in the tooth now, and VisualBlitz (despite the 'iffy' name!) does just about everything I can ever remember being suggested for the Blitz IDE. A really useful feature I found, is that you can search the code for every occurence of a string. Every match appears in a listbox, and you can simply click on it to go to that line in the code. Simple idea, but I hate to think how much coding time I've wasted using the old "Find Next" method. Oh, also - two words: FOLDING FUNCTIONS!! Worth £9.40 of anyone's money, I'm sure. |
| ||
| Would love Custom Folds though :D |
| ||
| Bought myself a copy and must say that it's excellent. The colour changing preference is good fun! Well worth £9.40 of anybodys money :) |
| ||
| What happened to having a list of the media files showing up on right like the functions, variables, etc. do? I don't see it listed on the todo list or as an existing feature. I was waiting for this. |
| ||
| Arf :) I've not enough place to write a long 'ToDo' list. It's just a summary |
| ||
| Eh, hey. Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you complie stuff? the compile menu is greyed out, as is the compile button. Any ideas? |
| ||
| 1-Set your Blitz path in 'Preferences' panel. 2-Click 'Do it' button to update the keywords list. 3-Choose your favorite compiler via the combo box. |
| ||
| Hehe, sorry bout that. I got it now! Wicked IDE man! |
| ||
| Eh, hey. Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you complie stuff? the compile menu is greyed out, as is the compile button. Any ideas? For the record, this caught me out at first too. |
| ||
| Only thing it's missing IMO is project files. Man, I'd love to see project files with this. |
| ||
| Only thing it's missing IMO is project files. Man, I'd love to see project files with this. i agree with this ! |
| ||
| Really need a DEMO before I buy. This kind of program that I will work for hours on it (during programming). So must be really perfect for me (individual style). I need to test... |
| ||
| i agree, a demo for exemple with no save will make it, just to see if the editor fit the user's needs. i'm greatly interested in your ide because of the "folding of function for exemple", but i would like a try before buy , as i wan't to be sure that i'll use this instead of the blitz ide. also is this possible to set different extensions for the files exemple bb for blitz2D BB3 for blitz3D bb2 for blitz+ and have them associated and recognised by the ide to run the correct compiler ? |
| ||
| Aside from project files, here's some more stuff that needs fixin: An option to NOT update keywords every damn time the IDE starts (please! I'd much rather do this manually than wait for it to do its thing every time it starts. Especially on my laptop, where file access can be slow enough that the process hangs). Not having the sidebar update every time you type something on the function declaration line A find functionality that: - gives you a quicksearch without all the bells and whistles, but that starts a search when you hit enter - gives control back to the IDE window properly when you close it (currently it seems to return focus to every window BUT the ide. A Ctrl-O option that opens the file selector instead of saying 'feature not implemented yet' ;) |
| ||
| @Mag A demo ... I'll try to code a demo version. @Morduun I've made a mistake. There are two shorcut Ctrl+O. @ford different extensions... not for the moment |
| ||
| @ED FROM MARS I give up to wait for the demo!!! Your ide look lovely and I cannot wait. Beside the price is very good, I already buy it. But!! I thought I can have it today, NOOOO… I can’t. Share-It problem? This information may help someone, although I may look like !@#@#@!$ in overall Previously I buy Blitz3d and BlitzPlus from Share-It. So I already have a username and password there but I forgot it. So when I order your ide I didn’t log in (I’m like a new person to by from share-it). When I received their email I go to download link that they provided and suddenly the site ask me a username and password. Because I don’t have it so I request. They need my email, so I give them. After about 20 minute I receive the password and when I login I’m in wrong account. Possibly my old account because I got a BlitzPlus link there. Your ide link is not there. This happen because I use a same email for both order, so when I request a password they just ask an email address. What I know I may be have 2 account there that use the same email and they only send password and username to the first account. That why only BlitzPlus is there in that account. I already post email to them and have to wait probably another 2-3 days. I don’t know… So unlucky ;( |
| ||
| @ED From some of the post that I read, I figure out that….. It is you yourself that have to send me your software, right? (Off course after Share-It email you the payment conformation) In that case, I just wait for your email. Hope you read this and ‘email software to buyer’ become your top priority ;) |
| ||
| I just bought Protean, but looks like ya got a winner there Ed. Good job. Kanati |
| ||
| I get it now. Already test...Awesome! Superb! Small&Compact! Marvelous! You kill them all… ED Btw..this is my future request.Everybody post once, This is a new development, I got to give one ;) So far, only function can be fold. I do not need other command like for/next or select/endselect to be fold as ‘protean ide’ did, but I want certain other thing to be fold. Include file and custom fold. The include fold I think you can understand already, when you unfold you can see all the include file. For the custom fold it will go like this. For example, I would like to fold about 100line of instruction, which I am sure already ok, and I do not want to se its detail anymore. In another word, I would like fold anywhere that I want by giving internal VisualBlitz command for example. You can use a ^ symbol to indicate that this is a VisualBlitz command and the line will be thrown during compile. Therefore, this will look like this: ^Fold Data for picture Data $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001 Data $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001 Data $000300, $000300, $000600, $000600, $01001A, $01001A, $020200, $020200 Data $040100, $040100, $02000A, $02000A, $010200, $010200, $010003, $010003 Data $00000B, $00000B, $000011, $000011, $000100, $000100, $01000B, $01000B Data $050000, $050000, $060200, $060200, $040016, $040016, $010001, $010001 Data $140000, $140000, $060000, $060000, $000400, $000400, $000100, $000100 Data $000900, $000900, $000100, $000100, $000103, $000103, $000506, $000506 Data $00000F, $00000F, $000303, $000303, $000C00, $000C00, $2E0000, $2E0000 Data $00140D, $00140D, $000014, $000014, $08000D, $08000D, $000C03, $000C03 Data $000900, $000900, $000600, $000600, $020000, $020000, $060000, $060000 Data $060000, $060000, $090001, $090001, $010000, $010000, $000800, $000800 Data $000800, $000800, $000F04, $000900, $130008, $240519, $000311, $000513 Data $130011, $130011, $110110, $0D000C, $000900, $000A00, $000C00, $000C00 Data $1E0002, $160000, $000702, $000601, $00000A, $00000B, $0C000B, $0C000B Data $000A06, $000A06, $000400, $000400, $1D0000, $1D0000, $000400, $000400 Data $0F0100, $0C0000, $060900, $010400, $040024, $0A002A, $000E0D, $001B1A Data $120000, $120000, $000E00, $000A00, $0C0000, $110004, $000300, $000300 Data $060000, $060000, $000300, $000300, $000400, $000400, $1B0000, $1B0000 Data $000F00, $000F00, $001200, $001200, $0F0000, $0F0000, $040000, $040000 Data $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001, $010001 ^End Fold When fold will look something like this: (+) Data for picture Is this cool ;) Beside, this help to make our code short and easy to browse and the user are free to fold anywhere he wanted to fold. So, he can control what he are doing in a group of chunk. Moreover …if possible let them nest so we can have a few group in a bigger group. Is it too much ;) Really, hope to have this future ;) More than anything |

| Personally I think the include fold is a daft idea. It would make the files way too big, you might as well just write everything in a single file to start with. You know that if you double click on an include in the code explorer (right hand panel) it opens the include - don't you? What would be cool though is folding subroutines and folding types. Really I think this Visual Blitz is great. I'll be buying the full version some time in the not too distant future (I'm using the last beta at the moment). |
| ||
| You were right BINARY_MOON, I'll take back my include fold idea. No point there. Beside double click on an include in the code explorer (right hand panel) it opens the include By the way I still hope to have a custom fold command. I can imagine how handy when I can fold anything that I already done and organize them in some kind of folder ;) |
| ||
| nice!! free updates I assume? upx/reshack integration would be great. Especially if you can setup all the stuff for upx. I always hate punching in all the parameters into the dos prompt to make it run. I know, upx isn't in *yet*, but hey. I think I might order, but ?demo? ohhhh!!! multiple undos!! Nice!!! blitz IDE really needs them.... |
| ||
| @Ed Could you add the possibility to fold/unfold a function when you double-click on its name from the functions list ? |
| ||
| I should add a request section in my VisualBlitz forum. |
| ||
| folding types? by the great Lord Harry... I vote :) |
| ||
| I agree with HUB about doubleclick on function name to fold/unfold |
| ||
| I decided to order it anyway. Please send it my way ASAP! not that I really need it immedeatly, but I would like to get it, as I don't want toget into any shareit legal rigamarole. Anyway, I look forward to getting it. |
| ||
| folding types definitly..... how about hierarchal folds? ;), so you can have a fold within a fold? that way you could almost have 'classes' where the fold has a fold for a type and folds for functions. |
| ||
| cool. got it! have one error, and one request, however. 1. When I press the middle mouse button, I have a little arrow thing popup that allows me to zoom quickly through code. This works, but when the middle mouse button is hit again(to disengage the mode), it instantly exits? 2. Uncomment block doesn't uncomment things that have one space in front of them like ;hi altogether nice. will take a while to get used to, but that's ok. |
| ||
| Version 3.11.19 --------------- -CHANGED : now 'find next (F3)' and 'find prev (shift+F3)' are some quick-search functions -REMOVED : replace next -ADDED : string popup menu (dbl-click to see it) -ADDED : media viewer (set viewer command line here in 'preferences' panel) -CHANGED : 'uncomment' more effective -CHANGED : 'insert template' with indentation -CHANGED : reduce ALT+XXX shortcut mirrors -CHANGED : reset help browser after compiler change -CHANGED : no keywords auto-update at start -BUG FIXED : broken shortcut CTRL+O -BUG FIXED : hidden B+ console |
| ||
| I'm curious about the "Visual" name. The reason Microsoft called their development suite Visual Studio, was because you could visually create forms with an interactive GUI editor. This was a nice and welcome change from creating forms through code only. There is nothing like this in Visual Blitz IDE as far as I've seen. Are there any plans on adding this functionality? If not, then what is the idea behind the name? Thanks, Ben |
| ||
| You can visually see your code ? lol |
| ||
| Ed, I've got beta 3.09.16 from a long time ago (?) and I would like to buy the real deal - IF - a bug I am experiencing is gone (which it probably may be). After restarting the IDE it sometimes doesn't launch, and IDE.EXE is in the task list but nothing happends. Really good work on the IDE by the way! |
| ||
| I'm curious about the "Visual" name. This IDE works with B3D, B2D and B+ It's not a GUI editor. Any "Visual" features... I don't know. You can visually see your code ? lol LOL :) I've got beta 3.09.16 from a long time ago I'll try to make a demo |
| ||
| @ed Finally, Bought your Ide, And I have to Say "It is Fantastic!!!" I give it a 10+++ Who cares about the name, Don't judge a book by it's cover. Or in this case Ide by its name. Great Job! Keep up the good work:) Peace |
| ||
| Thanks for the update. I still would like the mouse problem fixed. it's annoiying having it close so frequently. At least it asks me to save or not. |
| ||
| I know this IDE is very good. Too bad I lost the free copy I downloaded before you started to sell it :P. I may order it soon :). |
| ||
| So, any news? i meen, it seems very "abandoned" a.t.m. |
| ||
| No news for three years and you think it is abandoned? Have faith. :s LOL |
| ||
| Use IDEal |
| ||
| Ideal doesnt work on my PC.. i get runtime errors :( |
| ||
| Get Protean. This one's been long dead. |
| ||
| Protean scares me to be honest :P I need something comfortable. The default IDE is perfect except that it lakes some features like autofill, color dialog, etc.. |
| ||
| So, not 'perfect' at all, then. :) |
| ||
| I would love to see a version of Visual Blitz for MAX but I know it's a pipe dream. I wish Ed would release the source of this if it is totally abandoned so that maybe someone could pick it up. Ah wells. It was a good IDE and I never used to use anything else when I was coding in B3D several years ago. |
| ||
| I still use this and it fits my needs perfectly. ideal - runtime error, crashes, etc protean - overclocked basic ide - lacking other freeware - not even contenders |
| ||
| other freeware - not even contenders Surely you don't include the fabulous IDEal in that? [edit] Okay, I'm an idiot. :o\ [/edit] |
| ||
| Surely you don't include the fabulous IDEal in that? Read the list again. ;)I'm still trying to work out what 'protean - overclocked' means. |
| ||
| Ok, this is a little off topic to this thread, and I apologize for that... @Fuller: Please tell me what kind of run-time error or crashes you get with IDEal, because I listed all the known bugs in the current release in the IDEal's thread, and I don't have any reports for crashes or run-time errors, so your report would be very appreciated. Please note that if you get a run-time error on start, I think that it's a issue with your OS installation, so can you please check my answer to LeeMing in the IDEal's thread. I'll be very grateful if you check this, because I'm doing my best to make IDEal bug-free, and I can only fix bugs if they are reported. And current release has only several not crucial bugs reported, that may cause an exception,but not a crash or run-time error. Thanks in advance |
