Editra + Ren'Py

[SleepKirby]

So uh... I randomly tried Editra again today, and .rpy syntax highlighting is working! I haven't touched any of the Editra settings since I last tried. And yes, now I see a Ren'Py / .rpy entry under Filetype Associations.

Problem solved for me, I guess; though I hate it when things mysteriously work or don't work... >_>;

Since people seem to be using it, I just posted up a new Editra:

http://www.renpy.org/dl/editra/

This new version includes a lot of little improvements, which I've made as I've been using it. (I now have Editra associated with .rpy files, rather than Eclipse.) It also includes an Editra.edit.py file that allows it to be used with the Ren'Py launcher.

[SleepKirby]

I just tried out the new version. Could you give a couple of examples of what was changed in this version? I can't notice any changes myself. >_>;

[PyTom]

The indentation rules changed slightly, in obscure cases like hitting enter while the cursor is already in indentation, or in a triple quoted string. We also look further back when syntax highlighting, which makes the highlighting better.

Downloaded and placed it in Ren'Py folder, then selected Editra as default editor, but when tried to edit script - I got error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

What have I done wrong?

[PyTom]

Nothing - the mistake was on my end.

[Alex]

Hm, also found that Editra arguing, when I use different indentation for blocks - 2 and 4 spaces (inside a block all lines are indented the same). Ooops, my fault - indentation was incorrect. Should sleep at night...))

I've tried editra but unfortunately, it's really bad for Japanese typing.
wxWidgets has a serious problem on IME input; it never accepts direct input from IME.

[PyTom]

Really?

I'll add a mention of that to the editor selection screen. Editra and jEdit will both be supported in 6.14, with a screen to select the one you want to download and install.

[nyaatrap]

Yeah. this is how it looks while I'm typing something in japanese.


In Windows OS, the input area is placed outside of the editor. But Mac OS has more serious problem. It can't accept any kind of inputs. That means mac users never write Japanese with Editra. Chinese must have the same problem.
This problem seems already reported to the developer, but it looks hard to fix.

Will the code-crashing JSON dependency be replaced with something else, considering only one line of code uses it?

[PyTom]

Json is now included as part of Ren'Py 6.14. So I'm not sure how it's code crashing.

[Hseo]

Can't download it with Ren'Py update T_T.

nvm>>> there was some problem with my internet connection.
