[App] Eschaton (Sparky's Plugins Edition/0.8.1.1)

[Modzy]

Sparky asked me to code this bit into Eschaton. It adds information in the editing view of some controls, using the new plugins Sparky created.

0_o good work man!

a little problem, im on snow lepperd, and when i open this, it gives me about a hundred of these (but when you get through them it seems to work fine, except for enum16s)

[Modzy]

I've never seen that error before...

[Amy]

It must be alt....

Darn, I get them, too. I'm on Leopard (10.5. on a G5 clocked at 1.6GHz and 512MB of DDR SDRAM.




In Terminal, I receive these errors:

http://halodemomods.com/mediawiki/image ... output.txt

and then it opens.

enum16's cause the usual exception error.

Bets Modzy didn't build or package Eschaton correctly.

The runtime errors were happening because I forgot to manually add the Quesa framework to the application, and the enum16 issue was a silly mistake that the debugger didn't catch. Both problems have been fixed, and the updated file is at the same link.

think you were right.

I was right. Why do Eschaton and swordedit use that framework based off of old and dead Apple API's anyway? Heck, swordeit already uses OpenGL; I wonder what it uses the framework for.

thanks for the fix!

[Sparky]

Thanks for releasing this in time for Christmas

I found a small problem with the image information links. Sometimes, it links to the next value's image instead of saying that the image is not available:

The plugin file line says that the info image is "", but Eschaton is showing the next value's info image instead. At first, this happened when I approached that entry from the one that had the info image below it, but not from the one above it that had no info image. But then it showed the wrong info image no matter what.

Also, I have a suggestion: for the text string when the description field is null, how about showing a shorter string like "n/a" or just leaving it blank (or a blank space)? That way, the eye is not attracted to the info box when there is no info to show.

I'd like to change the name of the plugin folders to:

1 - default scrolling
2 - default
3 - experimental

This way, they are in the desired order by default, and the user doesn't need to arrange them within the Eschaton preferences window.

I have an exception error when looking at the collision data in the sbsp tag. I'm not surprised, honestly, and it's probably my fault. But what do you think?
