Update: Plans for v.2

  First public beta. Bug reports are welcome.
 
  Release Notes:
 
  * Some minor features disabled such as deleting whole files from a   project subfolder, and changing project export path.
  * Galaxy completition disabled (working hard on it!)
  * Some preferences are enabled but not implemented (hide editor line   numbers, mark current line, etc)
  * This release should not be used in a production enviroment, its meant   for TESTING.
  * Code folding not working properly
  * Random crashes (again, working on it  :whistle: )
  * EasyExport will crash often, but try again.

Features:

*   Galaxy syntax highlighting/ code completition /  code folding
*   Galaxy validator (thx to LAPIN)
* Creation of AI's in a project-like   way
* One-clik export to MPQ, directly to SC directory
* XML syntax highlighting
* User friendly   (you want more ppl coding AI's, dont you?)

  It's still untested, It may NOT WORK in yor system.

This is the way you will work with my editor:

1. Open MWAIE   from your desktop.
2. Follow a simple wizard in order to create a new   project
3. Start Coding
4. Try Export
5. Fix validation errors
6.   Export
7. Launch SCII

It just got out a few minutes ago. :-)

The name of your editor sounds oddly familiar... Sorta like the Editor SC2Mapster released weeks ago. I wonder what inspired you.

Or when people hear Galaxy they think "Milky Way"... since we live in the Milky Way galaxy.

You know what you are right, people thing of MilkyWay when people think of Galaxy, and well the Author knew that and her knew there was a MilkyWayEditor too from Mapster... Want proof?





Kinda Funny his original name was MilkyWayEditor, and knew about Mapster's So he had to change it, not very cleverly tho


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_galaxies Here you go OP, Andromeda is still available i think

while i love your tool, and think its a great idea, id really appreciate it if you changed the name. we have been calling our map editor Milky Way Editor for near a few months now, and id hate for confusion to happen

I didn't know about your editor until a few days ago, just as you, I chose the name of my application some time ago (and yes, by the fact we live in the milky wAI). I'll change the name, but until I get a decent one, it remains MWAIE.

thanks for that, its def not a huge deal, and i appreciate it. really cool too, seeing it made me realize i need to start working on the galaxy side of our editor

I'll upload v0.1 in a couple of hours, keep refreshing!

PD: Name hasn't changed (yet). Suggestions are welcome.
