GM Toolkit v1.3 to be released soon
« on: April 10, 2010, 10:38:33 PM »
I just found a bug in the old GM Toolkit v1.2 - smart mode for graphics compression does not work correctly, causing most, if not all of the graphics to be compressed with JPEG even though PNG was better.

I worked on GM Toolkit v1.3 a long time ago but never released it, so I'm going to fix the bug and release it soon.

I've also made script verification much faster.

I just fixed another bug with smart mode and the card-by-card compressor. Also, the card by card compressor no longer resizes the window all crazy-like when flipping through cards.

BETA RELEASE
GM Toolkit v1.3b1

http://www.mikerichardson.name/gmutils/GMToolkit1.3b1.zip

Assuming no one finds any bugs I will change this to the v1.3 final release so Al can bundle it with GM.

This is still a PPC app (built with the old REALbasic v5.5.5) because GM is still a PPC app.

Seems it still has a problem locating syntax errors.
If you have a line that is like the following:
run around in circles
that doesn't come back as a syntax error. Shouldn't it say INVALID command on line 1 or something?

Mike,

BEGIN APPLEEVENT and END APPLEEVENT are no longer valid keywords. These have been changed to BEGIN APPLESCRIPT and END APPLESCRIPT. Old GameMaker versions could use either command, but recent versions only use the APPLESCRIPT one.

GM Toolkit doesn't really look for syntax errors like that. To do that Mike would have to always know every new command added and make an update.

What it does is make sure your block structures are balanced. For example when you have an IF... THEN it makes sure there's a corresponding END IF.

It does do a few things like make sure you don't use invalid numbers in GOTOCARD.

Quest of Magic uses a lot of "GOTOCARD 0" - is that a valid command?

Could it be detecting GOTOCARD var?

No. It's definitely GOTOCARD 0. GOTOCARD [variablename] is detected and ignored.

That'd odd. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I sleep now.

Can the new GMT verify the entire game at once, or how are you going about it?

The old and the new versions both support batch verification and batch formatting. Just click the verify icon or the format icon then click the Batch button.

v1.3b2 fixes:
- Cmd-W works for help window and cheating plugin editor.
- Script verifier now marks BEGIN/END APPLEEVENT statements as invalid.
- Updated GameMaker Ad to newest one without the mailing address.
- Several small fixes in the compiled game customizer.

Seems to have trouble formating scripts SELECT CASE in them. It probably only has trouble under certain conditions.
