Castle Paradox

[TwinHamster]

So I'm planning to redo many aspects of Detelamane and would find it really convenient if I could somehow delete unwanted attacks and textboxes, since I feel that it would be much easier to make a completely new attack/textbox then have to rework an existing one.

I've tried looking through working.tmp, but it seems that I would have to mess with .Bin files to get things to work my way.

Thankies

I 2nd this motion. I am an organizational freak, heh.

Also, possibility to sort somehow.

Ctrl+Backspace does this for most things. I'm not sure about textboxes.

I just attempted Ctrl + Backspace. It deletes everything after the current item, but it doesn't allow deletion of specific items in-between.

Maybe if sorting alone was implemented, then one can sort all of the unwanted attacks/textboxes at the very end, then just use Ctrl + Backspace to delete all of those.

Sorting manually will be more work than deleting manually, though.

Sorting only makes sense if you could sort by certain criteria (for example sort attacks by element). That's what I think would be nice. If you redo the text boxes you could give the new ones a new design and then sort my design so the ones with the old design are at the end, then mass deleting would work easier as well.

The problem with deleting specific items is every object after it would have to have -1 applied to it's ID, which would break save games, your plotscripts, and maybe other stuff.

Maybe perhaps an option to reset all the data on the currently selected attack. Otherwise you're much better off making a new attack and just not worrying about the unused one, they don't take up that much space.

[Rya.Reisender]

The internal IDs could be different from the ones displayed in the editor, though.

[The Drizzle]

Yeah, but that would be confusing for people doing plotscripting where they reference things like attacks based on the attack's number.

Would need to display the internal ID, but sort according to other info. Like if you sort by attack name the first skill is "Acid" and it display ID "89" and then you press right and it displays "AppleThrow" and ID "54". Of course this requires that the criteria you sort with must be displayed on the main window.

I thought TwinHamster meant clearing all the data for something, instead of deleting it. Deleting items would break all references to the item and ones after it, it doesn't just affect scripts. Automatically fixing all references would be a prohibitive amount of work for a small effect.

I really like the sorting idea, that would be excellent, and would make not being able to delete a minor problem. (It would be a good test of the flexmenu system used for attacks and enemies to see if this is easy.)
