SPID Writer
An INI-Writer extension for writing SPID files without needing to remember all of the special rules involved.
Get INI Writer here
I read the SPID documentation so you don't have to.
If I have misunderstood something in there then let me know.. (Like seriously, plz do. It was hard enough understanding the docu as it is.)
Features:
- Will automatically append '_DISTR' to ini files when you save them.
- Has auto-shortening capability when you use FormIDs so you don't need to manually adjust them. (Yeah just copy&paste FormID from xEdit)
- A lovely adaptable editor window that changes accessible fields depending on what you want to distribute.
- A massive number of tooltips and "help" notes to make this a relatively painless transition from the regular SPID writing experience.
- Gives you both the standard and enhanced editing experience with the Raw Window which lets you write SPID ini's the way you've always done it. This is directly linked to the enhanced edit window so changes are 99% inter-changable. (Adding extra newlines between edits is only possible in the Raw window.)
- Tooltips log to the console when left-clicked. Don't worry about keeping your cursor still while trying to read a tooltip anymore!
To Install:
- Download this + INI Writer (IW)
- Open the install location for IW and goto 'App/Extensions'
- Extract SPID Writer into the Extensions folder. (Make sure you extract the folder and not just the individual files!!!)
- Run app and select new, select the SPID extension and have fun :)
Noted Issues:
- A blank editor panel: This issue seems to be caused when loose files are extracted into the extensions folder instead of the whole folder. The solution is an easy fix, just delete the loose files and extract the whole folder into the extensions directory.
ini-writer\App\Extensions\SPID_Extension\SPID_Extension.json
ini-writer\App\Extensions\SPID_Extension\Scripts\etc..
ini-writer\App\Extensions\SPID_Extension\Interfaces\etc..
Note:
Please do NOT launch IW by right-clicking an .ini file and "opening-with" IW.
This WILL cause an issue with loading external scenes in Godot that I cannot fix.
If you do so anyway IW will log an error to the console telling you to restart it.
Appreciation:
Huge thanks to Sasnikol for helping me understand the intricacies of SPID.
