Ved

This might turn out to not really be hard to do, not sure though. Definitely considering this.

Spikes are now indicated. See https://gitgud.io/Dav999/ved/merge_requests/6

Just going through all open ideas here; #1 was already possible as you mentioned, #2 (including entities on the clipboard) is still scheduled, can also be found here: http://ved.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=105697

I may need some more info on this.

I've tried to reproduce this crash, but I can't get it to happen. Also, looking at the code, I have no idea how this could happen under normal conditions (like, not having a level bigger than 20x20 or something), even when shrinking a level and undoing that.

So could you tell me in more detail what you did? As far as I understand, you shrunk the level, then undid that, did Ved immediately crash? What size were you shrinking down to what size? Do you know what room you were looking at? You also mentioned a room being deleted, but in what way was it deleted?

I haven't made Ved color entities yet, so the start point and missing crewmates still show up as white. (Vitellary's color looks a bit like white I guess?)

As for a test button, if I added a test function to Ved I'd need to implement VVVVVV's physics too, and that would need quite a large amount of work, and I'd probably never be able to make it 100% accurate (so a jump from one platform to another might be possible in Ved, then you release the level and it turns out it isn't possible at all in VVVVVV). Instead, I'll make it so you can click a place to test from, and then Ved will immediately create a save file with those coordinates, which you can then load in VVVVVV.

EDIT: Crewmates and the start point have the correct colors, I still need to implement a "Test in VVVVVV" feature.

EDIT (previous edit was 06.09.2015 d.m.y):
Alright, so I never implemented the savefile feature, because in practice, it's much faster and easier to just keep the level open in VVVVVV at the same time, pressing L+enter there, and moving to the correct room. The closest we've gotten to an actual playtesting feature inside Ved is my April Fools' joke (https://tolp.nl/forum/index.php?topic=3938.0) (also, see puzzle) and I'm not sure if there'll ever be a special version of M&P implemented. If VVVVVV were to become open-source later, I'd probably work on that. But for now, I'll change the status of this from "in process" to "completed".

This is now added in b16, because sometimes it's faster than using tab or the arrow keys (when you have a long list of matching level names)

Will be added.

EDIT: The potato option exists.

At first when I read this I thought it would be too complicated, but thinking about it more makes me think that it shouldn't be too hard.

2.4 has changerespawncolour, so this will no longer be necessary.

Looking at the list of internal commands that is built into the script editor, it turns out I forgot to add all of these to the reference:

blackon
activateteleporter
purplecontrol
customposition
changecustommood
startintermission2
redcontrol
foundlab2
resetgame
changegravity
entersecretlab
greencontrol
foundlab
activeteleporter

I'll add all of them to the reference, hopefully I can remember or find what they all do!


(note to self: for k,v in pairs(knowninternalcommands) do if LH[8].cont:find(k) == nil then print(k) end end)

Fixed in b8.

This is also fixed by pressing enter, because this is caused by it still waiting for you to complete roomtext/script name input, but you can't type anymore because the properties dialog interrupts that. I'm gonna fix this later.

EDIT: Fixed in a34.

True, I should've used entcolours but for some reason forgot about it and thought colors were hardcoded in VVVVVV. Though, I implemented platform colors first, then just used the platform colors for enemies, and apparently they're not the same! https://i.imgur.com/91MFNR9.png

I'll look into how this works in VVVVVV exactly, maybe the enemy colors are even hardcoded.

[21.12.2019]
In 1.7.0, enemies are colored consistently with VVVVVV.

This one's still a bit hidden, but VVVVVV 2.3 (currently set to be released next month) adds upside down terminals. I'll add a tool and proper display for it in Ved, but you can change property p1 to 1 on a terminal entity to make it upside-down! It should then appear correctly when playing the level in 2.3.

Fixed, see https://gitgud.io/Dav999/ved/merge_requests/10

The current column is now displayed as of a60, so this is now fully covered.

In fact, room names are pasted but they're not copied, because copied room data is comma-separated and first I want to make sure everything doesn't mess up when a room name contains a comma.

EDIT: room name will now also be copied in a52, commas in the room name are replaced by accent aigus while on the clipboard.

This is actually one of the features that was planned from the very beginning, a checkbox so you can write an entire script in internal scripting. I'll be working on it :)

Added in b1.

Have you made a load script? Ved kinda assumes you know you have to make that for the internal scripts made with internal mode to work.

I'm gonna add a warning to the script editor that tells you if you attempt to directly load the script anywhere.
