A quick look for you guys, what's there is done but the interface designer is still in the early stages. Just post any bugs and preferably what you did to cause it.

I'll post a translation file for who ever wants to translate it in a few days!

Download the setup

Any suggestions also appreciated

*NOTE*
  • You must pick a plsc file to open, it will not open directories (i toyed with the idea of just directories but the options are there to open an installed version or a "working" version for a quick look at the script).

  • if it doesn't open a script file it's because the XML in it is bad, nothing i can do about someone writing bad xml. (yes it's still bad even if Plus! itself still opens it)
  • when a script is loaded, any bad xml files will generate an entry in the "interface log.txt" file. If the file was an interface file you can check here to see why it maybe wasn't parsed properly. This file is cleared once the application exits!


Common problems with XML files:
  • First line of scriptinfo.xml should read:
    code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <ScriptInfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="urn:msgplus:scripts">

  • Not escaping characters like ">" "&" etc with their appropriate html escape codes

  • First line of interface files should read:
    code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
    <Interfaces xmlns="urn:msgplus:interface" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="urn:msgplus:interface PlusInterface.xsd">

RE: [Preview] MP - Development Environment
I can't open a script with the next code:

XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScriptInfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="urn:msgplus:scripts">
    <Information>
        <Name>Test</Name>
        <Description>Testing</Description>
        <Version>1.0.3</Version>
    </Information>
</ScriptInfo>


what's wrong?

i created a new script, packaged it, opened it up with winrar pasted your code above in, and tried to open it again and it worked without any problems. What was the message appearing?

Try just creating a script with the "New" button/menu in the designer and try opening it just in case i've seriously overlooked something

Works on Windows 7. The open box is just a problem with dimensions. If you stretch it corrects it's self and reveals another button.

Had problems opening and saving files though. Looks promising so far

Doesn't appear to work in x64 at all.
