New Extension to .txt scripts

New Extension to .txt scripts

LordStephen77's picture

My idea is to change the txt file extension for scripts. Make the extension in ".flare" for the following reasons:

  • Flare engine script files are simple text files in .txt format, so changing the extension and reading from the game engine does not make it difficult (I guess).
  • I'm going to develop a small text editor dedicated to modding, which includes: syntax highlight, and a small menu to insert snippets of code to simplify modding.

  • In the editor, I would also like to include an on-line help (local html guide recalled with the F1 key) that helps build your own mod in simple guided steps (step by step to build a complete dungeon base, including mechanisms, enemies, and the main features of the gaming engine).

 

Other things I will do next, for now I enjoy making the editor (very simple) then he gets better.

I think it's a good idea, especially for those who want to create their own game by exploiting the flare engine without having ever created a mod in her life.

For now I'm looking for all the instructions and features that I can implement shortly since flare engine is still in development is not much documentation and so many things I've learned by studying official mod code and doing experiments .

If someone likes my idea, I'm happy to receive tips and suggestions for my idea. Thank you all.
