Hi,

I'm excited to announce two new features which are included in the next version of liteEditor (1.03):
- Shader Preview
- Independent Publisher

The independent publisher has the following features:
1) Maintain the complete folder structure while publishing
2) Folder based and automatic packing of files into WRS ressources (e.g.: You want all files in the "music" folder to be packed into music.wrs and all files in the "models" folder to "models.wrs". This is just one click away).
3) Dependent files are automatically detected (e.g. Levels Files, LOD Model Files, or External Textures)

Future Plans:
4) Automatic Packaging for no PRO Users
5) Change Icon of generated EXE file

The Shader Viewer is a very lightweight tool to edit and check FX files. General Features:
1) Context sensitive FX Editing (e.g. you type any render state, and you'll get all possible return values)
2) Support for all 3D-Gamestudio Functionality
3) Full Integration into Nivdia & Microsoft & Acknex Help Tools
4) Lightwight shader viewer

The new version will be released tomorrow, though Version 1.02 (the current version) already includes (!!) the shader editor.

PS: A Feature, probably nobody takes care of:
Complete Zorro Integration.

This looks fantastic!
I especially like feature 2) of the publisher and the instant help with available shader constants.

okay added an icon option. You can not set up a predefined icon (ico file) for the publishing process.
Now I'll add a decrypting / encrypting method for everyone (at least I'll try to..)
Additionally (for PRO Users) I'll add automatic compiling of all FX files..

EXCELLENT!

The shader preview is great for playing around and livetesting new shaderideas.
GreatJob

I tried your editor, and it is really cool!
Great job, i can't say more.
Do you plan the usage of splitted window in the future?

Hi Aku,

You can already split the windows. Window --> New Window. You an also drag all windows by click their tabs, and dragging the tab outsideof the tab area. Afterwards you can add this window anywhere you want to (in the editor). Please let me know if this is what you've asked for

As a general Note: The developing progress will slow down again now a little bit, as my job starts again - but this weekend a new version will be released, which will contain a beta version of the new publishing & some more enhancements. From then on, my effort will just be based on the requests you have

Regards,
Timo

I tried, but wasnt splitted, only a new window opened.

And here is a bugreport.
I started a new instance of the program. The second closing was successful. When a closed the first i got this:

Thanks I'll check that. What Version of Windows do you have installed?

Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Ed.

Vertical Splititng causes a lot of problems atm - therefore it will not be implementd in near future - sorry.
