Moonlite Map Studio

fL66c.png

Moonlite Map Studio is a full-blown StarCraft 2/WarCraft 3 IDE with many advanced features, such as extensible text editor, error checking, compiler support, code completion, code awareness, project manager, and many other helpful things. It is designed for rapid code and data development for StarCraft 2. It is made fully for scripting purposes; no GUI scripting is included.

The last open beta is finally ready to be released. Here is the download link:
http://ge.tt/8I5igG6

Requires the .NET Framework 4.0 and Visual C++ 2008 and 2005 Redistributable. If you use a 64-bit system architecture, remember to install the VC++ x64 Redistributable packages too.

How to install:
  • Click the link above
  • Pick the one that fits your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • When the download is complete, run the installer
  • Follow the installer steps
  • Run Moonlite Map Studio

Notes
I'd like some more issue fixes before I release Moonlite in Release mode instead of Debug mode. When that happens, Moonlite will perform better.

I disagree with Sevion until you integrate it with the SC2 editor. I don't want to use two editors to create a map and I want to still be able to have the choice to use GUI from time to time as well as using the normal data editor instead of doing it through xml.

When you do however...

There may be plans on that, and there may not. But there may...

Really long start-up time you've got there. Two minutes, still waiting. :/

I know D: I always made fun of him for that.

My computer (which isn't bad in any way) takes longer to open Moonlite than it does to open an Adobe program :|

No, I can start it but clicking most buttons produce the same error. New project, new document etc.

I dont have visual studio. I didn't see that as a requirement anywhere.

It isn't, but with VS you can error-trace it.

That is definitely strange. I sometimes get unhandled errors, but by clicking Continue I can just keep working.

Oh God! I never thought Moonlite would be released during the summer holidays. Wished I had my desktop with me. :( I can not test Moonlite out, because I'm right now under the requirements.

What I do want to ask:

1. Do you still sometimes get unhandled errors?
2. After clicking Continue, do you sense there's something wrong?

I'm assuming the question was directed to me.

1. yes
2. yes

It seems to successfully create a new project(even though I get an error) so I can then create a new document(which also gives an error) but I can't seem to do anything with the document.

It's complaining about not finding Moonlite.data.mpq.dll even though that file exists in the moonlite directory.

Moonlite isn't going to be updated this week because Vestras is on vacation; however, anyone with C# knowledge and VS2010 is invited to join us in fixing any bugs :)

If I click Continue it allows me to perform the action the second time and doesn't error.

It doesn't seem like something is wrong. Just a setting was undefined or something perhaps. Haven't had time to follow the stream to the error.

Methinks it has something to do with being in debug mode already and doing other stuff before exiting debug mode.

The thing is, SC2 doesn't tell Windows when it exits so you have to manually exit Debug Mode. I sometimes forget to :|

The not finding the mpq data dll thingy is probably because you downloaded the wrong installer. Download the one that matches your system architecture and try again.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
