Sparsile

This project is experimental.

This project is only experimental and may change drastically between now and when it comes out of experimental status. It may even be disapproved once that happens, worst-case.

Be forewarned before downloading anything from this project.

Introduction

Sparsile is a project that aims to add missing functionality to GE, in the least obstructive way. Most 3rd party tools will not work together with GE, and most of them will require you to close down GE completely, before you can save any changes you've made. This often leads to a bothersome work environment, which can hamper development of your projects. Sparsile works around this by simply adding the features directly into GE, making it work with GE rather than working on the side of GE.

Current Features

Custom Sparsile Menu
Custom Scripting Editor
Custom Syntax Validator and Extender (Andromeda)

Planned Features

Plugin System
Automated Backup System

Suggested Features

Support for 512x512 maps

Notes

The Scripting Editor will be moved into being a separate plugin. In the end, Sparsile itself wont have many features, but instead, plugins will provide the main features of Sparsile. Plugin writing will be done mainly in C# at first, but we may allow other languages in the future.

Caution

This is experimental software, and there's always a risk of losing all your work, so make sure you backup frequently. In future releases, we may implement an automated backup system.

Sadly it isn't. I might pick it up at a later time if I get some more spare time.

Add this feature please:

Extended Overview manager , where you can delete / copy / rename ...etc entities from there , without having to hunt them down in the deep code.

The delete option is most welcome , i really had a trouble deleting 250 placed objects , and Overview manager is somewhat usless without this EDIT functionality , in the end i had to open up XMLs and delete the data about placed object from there , okay not hard but certainly takes more time of course, and people won't actually guess that , so they's probably waste time deleting one by one.

The problem is , i think there is no "select all type: whole map" inside editor , i think i tried but it didn't worked?

Could i suggest that you can make tiny tiny brushes to make collizion, like 0.001 sized, since then you can minimize everything and make an uberly large miniatyr map.

I wouldn't mind. The UI is painfully slow and tedious, creating a big trigger is a nightmare.
