Title: New and improved ArtManager
Post by: ByteSquire on 06 December 2022, 17:12:55

I'm back at it,
sorry for the delay but I needed a bit of time off to reconsider some stuff and let the Godot community do some fixes and updates.

But here I am releasing version 0.10 (I know the about window tells you otherwise but trust me it's different).
https://github.com/ByteSquire/TQDB-Editor/releases/tag/v0.10 (https://github.com/ByteSquire/TQDB-Editor/releases/tag/v0.10) (click on the release.zip asset to download it and just unpack it anywhere to get started)

This time I'm encouraging anyone creating mods to give it a try and tell me what you think.
There is definitely some functionality missing and a few quirks but I still think it's already quite the improvement over the ArtManager.

I am already working on a way to enable mass-edits with some queries but am unsure what direction is best.
If you are interested in editing multiple files at once using a query/filter language or a fancy GUI, let me know so we end up with something actually useful.

That's it for the first big update, but do keep looking out for more updates that I will post inside this topic.

A big thank you for doing this! Only, can you add some instructions file of how to use this Editor and how the new features work?
I tried building an existing mod and the Editor loads forever... should i place it inside the main TQ folder like the normal AM? Sorry, i'm a noob with such technical stuff.

Hey nargil thanks for checking it out already.

Did you see any error messages in the console? Did the editor start up and load as you'd expect the ArtManager to?

There definitely is room for optimisation regarding the whole build process but it shouldn't hang indefinitely.

You can also take a look into the log that's in
%appdata%\Godot\app_userdata\TQDB-Editor

If there is anything unusual, that is something other than information and warnings.

We can elaborate on this tomorrow (CET)

Thanks for the log,

I seem to have forgotten to include one of my branches in the latest build that fixed a couple of issues with the build silently failing in the background.

I will include them in the next release this weekend.

Just released v0.11
https://github.com/ByteSquire/TQDB-Editor/releases/tag/v0.11 (https://github.com/ByteSquire/TQDB-Editor/releases/tag/v0.11)

The next release might not be next weekend, I am looking into a different UI framework entirely as my experience with the Godot 4 beta thus far hasn't been quite what I was hoping for.

I guess it's never too late to realise there might be a better way of doing things.

Looking forward to your feedback anyway as I will try to keep things as similar as possible.

How to simultaneously edit multiple files? I tried, but it opens only one file.
It would be great if you add some text file with instructions for the future.
