Fun With Notepad++, More of a Frustration than Fun

Tuxedo-Templar (apparently vanished from the face of the planet) created maps using Notepad++. I wish to do it as well because I've already seen the potential based on a few tests of my own with it.
However, I have a VERY important question: How do you Group objects (with the + and - on the side). This would REALLY help with sorting out chunks of my code in maps and would help me to keep things organized. Anyone have any ideas?  |

Tuxlar had his own code layout, kinda like how you can select languages at the top, and that layout allowed the setup he had. Unfortunately, it seems the website he was hosting info about Astrogears on is down, so I can't get you a link to download it.

Ah! Could you hook me up with some of your terrain maps. They were taken down! Ah, but back on topic.
Anyone have the Tuxlarian Codec so I can code?  Also, he had macros. I remember those because I downloaded them a few formats back  |

Yeah, the links randomly work on my website, I tried to directly link them, but MediaFire apparently doesn't like that, this link should always work though: http://www.mediafire.com/?6ut7hq4a2tm
You can also download them from SeN here: http://www.staredit.net/files/13/ While trying to find a download of his Notepad++ file, I found that apparently he had an interview: http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?p=553235#post553235 lol But yeah, apparently he shut down the read-only site, and the warbox forums on it, so I have no idea how to get it, unless someone else has it, I'm sure Oyen does, or if you can contact Tux himself. All the people who were heavily involved in it's development have kinda gone inactive, I did a bunch of testing, but never really got involved myself other than helping him every once in a while over MSN. |

Yep! I read that interview back when he first had it :P. But yeah... Trust me, I've been looking on Google for a few days now and finally decided to post. Hopefully someone has the files I need.
And thanks for the maps! |

I've my own file because now I'm triggering like tuxlar.
I still use his language file, if you want it I can send it to you. If you have more questions, simply ask me. I made my D1 map with it. And if you need a program that replaces many different strings inside your text/trigger document, I can help you, too. I use that to have variable names like "0 minDMG" in my triggers. The program changes it to "Zerg Zergling" when I run it. It's quite useful in my opinion.  |

Sure, I'll take that file
 . Maybe host it and post a link for other people that would want it?I'd also like to look at those other things you talked about. |

I saved Tuxlar's making-of-Astrogears page quite a bit back, when I was trying to do the whole Astrogear AI thing. The making-of-astrogears page included all the details on how he did his stuff. Here it is.

Your lucky I was bored enough to come looking around the UMS mapmaking assistance section. I rarely do.  I also have his trigger language file for Notepad++ if you need that, just pm me and ill send it to you. This post was edited 1 time, last edit by Oyen: Oct 1 2008, 10:19 pm. |

I'm attaching the second program I use to create text based triggers.
Attachments:
That program can find and replace strings like variable names with other strings like "Terran Marine" for bigger death count systems. You define everything in the findrepl.ini. I hope you can learn to use that program with my examples and my translation. This program really helped me a lot. |

Fire_Kame -- it just. I thought. *sigh* I'm almost stealing the Martin plot, you know. I don't want to say too much. But I thought hey to someone interested in the things this would be an interesting apprentice type of person. Yes. Trying to be vague, mind. [02:37 am]
