Artifact Editor - Beta Testing Needed

[TarousZars]

I've been trying to learn Cocoa Programming, and figured a good way to do that, would be to try updating some of the Myth Tools to OSX.

Lothar asked for a way to get 1.5 features for Artifacts on the Mac, so that has been my first task. It's not finished yet, but It is in a usable condition, so i figured I'd let you folks play w/ it to help me beta test, and to help you make maps.

You can grab it here.

Please post any bugs that aren't already mentioned in the readme here.

Edit: Updated link to beta 5

hey tarouz!!!!!
this looks awesome!!!
but somehow when it opens it doesn't "see" the artifacts I created in fear but just the ones that come with the game.
Is there a way to see the ones I created, and therefore keep perfectioning them?

thanks dude!

Looking good! It seems to crash if you open it by accident outside of the Myth 2 folder, and I can see that over-ride attack isn't done yet.

But it's a neat little app and very promising! It also looks great in OS X (I got it switched to brushed metal using Metalifizer) =)

[TarousZars]

thanks for the Feeback guys, those are Both Bugs, I'll get on em. And yes, override attack isn't working yet, I figured it was of lower importance, since you can do it in classic fear. I mostly wanted to get all the extra checkboxes finished first, as well as Monster Override so you can have 1.5 features even if you have to use both apps for awhile.

Let me know when you finish it, I'm working on a mac lately so I could use that gem to change the new artifacts...hehehe

[TarousZars]

Hey carl,
Things have been crazy w/ school starting,but I was able to update it a little yesterday, I should have a new beta up Tonight that fixes it so you can edit your own Artifacts.

Whats with the Funky capital Letters on random Words TZ?

[TarousZars]

New Beta

[carlinho]

wassup Tarouz!
hey! don't rush! take your time, I was just asking, I'm myself swamped with work....don't even have a minute left over.

Just checked the version 4, it did the same thing, didn't let me see the artifacts I created and that I have in my local folder, but yes I see the ones myth comes with default.

no rush dude!
though it's a promising program!

[TarousZars]

Hrm, I'll have to try on another comp, because its working fine for me. I even tried it on Mazz5 extracted because it has like 90. I'll have to set one up that does more logging, so i can see what's going on.

[Horus]

Hmm doesn't seem to want to save any changes I make...

[TarousZars]

does it give an error? or just seem to work, but then go back to how it was the next time you open it?

Edit:
Hmm, just tried it here at work. No user Error on save, just an error in the console log and not closing window. I'll check it out when i get home.

PS. Horus, are custom artifacts showing up for you? They work fine for me here also.

[Horus]

Custom artifacts show up.

I change anything in the tag and click "ok" and nothing happens, the artifact window stays open. I close the window and go back into the tag and none of my changes are still there.


There was one time though that when I clicked ok, the artifact window closed, and the application proceeded to crash :/

[carlinho]

mmm maybe it is because I did the artifacts on a pc with 5.1 and then copied that folder to the mac....
so maybe it just reads the new artifacts you create in mac....

[TarousZars]

Another beta up. Should fix the saving issues.

Carl, can you give me some more info? Does it not show your custom arti's in the Arti list, or in the editing window? Do you have some form of non standard or non english myth/local folder setup?

Thanks TZ
