Update: NearInfinity v1.35.0-snapshot-20140520

Lots of changes:

• Dropped support for Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2
• Added "Export as Windows executable" option to the MVE (movie) resource viewer
• Greatly improved text editor:
  • Optional line numbers, whitespace and line break markers (enable via menu Options->Text Editor)
  • Optional syntax highlighting support for GLSL, SQL, BCS/BS/BAF resources and script code in DLG resources (enable via menu Options->Text Editor->"BSC and BAF" or "Misc. Resource Types"->Enable Syntax Highlighting)
  • Optional code folding support for GLSL and BCS/BS/BAF resources (enable via menu Options->Text Editor->"BSC and BAF" or "Misc. Resource Types"->Enable Code Folding)
  • Apply color schemes to syntax highlighted file formats. You can choose from a small selection of available color schemes (selectable in menu Options->Text Editor->"BSC and BAF" or "Misc. Resource Types"->Color scheme)
  • Undo and redo available via popup menu (in most cases) or os-specific keyboard shortcuts
  • Fixed a bug in "Save" function that produced messed up line breaks under certain conditions. It now correctly produces line breaks native to the current operating system. "Export" will still save the files without making any changes.
• Lots of minor (and not so minor) bugfixes

 
The color scheme support for the new text editor component is very flexible and extensible. If you've got a talent for designing awesome color schemes and want to contribute one to NearInfinity, you can PM me for further information.

Wow!

What a great idea to bring syntax highlighting to NearInfinity. I have been using your WeiDU Highlighter Light for NP++ as well. Thank you!

Is it that I missed something or there's no option in NI to export bcs being viewed as baf?

NI can export BCS resources as both BCS and BAF. Click on the "Export" button and select "script code" for exporting as BCS or "script source" for exporting as BAF.

Once again thanks for the fast reply Argent77!

 

It took quite some time for me to figure out how to access this selection you mentioned. Apparently, there's 3 ways to export file, from under "file" tab, by RClick on file name, and by using icon below file content, and only third option offers me this choice. As I habitually used only first two options of exporting files I've got an impression that there's no native way to extract baf

Sorry, but like Argent77 said, the script source is the .baf file. Of course if you don't use a mouse it get's harder.

But if you are habitually doing things, you can use the windows copy paste function, where you select the .baf files content you wish to export (by highlighting it), and then just Ctrl + C to copy and then Ctr + V to write it in a text file or renamed .txt file as the .baf file, and you are set.

I've noticed one annoying issue. If you extend the bcs folder and search for Neera by typing "nee" it will ignore it because it's lowercase. Is that possible to fix?

Erhm, what are you talking about ? Using the NearInfinity v1.33.w1.3 here... in case it makes a difference(unlikely).

Cause there's a "Match Case" function in the Search -> Text Search -> BCS ->  "Find in all BCS files" you can disable, as well as in the Search -> StringRef, but that's it. Disable the tag, as you must have enabled it at one point.

This has nothing to do with the search function but merely expanding the folders and searching manually by typing what you're looking for. If you have BGII:EE loaded then open the BCS folder and type "neera". Notice it lands on raelis.bcs

[Argent77]

I can reproduce this issue. It only affects resource names with lowercased letters (and BG(2)EE introduced a lot of lowercased resource names). I'll try to find a solution.

Containers 0x0028 bit 6 is now in use. If flagged, it prevents items from disappearing; so items in piles will stay around forever. It’s call “Don’t clear” in dltcep.

[Argent77]

Thanks. Will be added in the next release.

PS: The quicksearch issue in the resource tree has also been fixed.
 

[Argent77]

Could you elaborate? Afaik, NearInfinity ignores the 'hidden' attribute of files and folders.

[Argent77]

Did you manually apply the hidden attribute to your chitin.key? I haven't encountered it in any of my game installations. Afaik, there isn't any benefit by setting the hidden attribute for this file.

The open dialogs in NearInfinity make use of the global options as defined in the Windows Explorer 'Folder Options'. I don't think it is feasible to manually override the system settings in that regard since NI is coded to be platform-independent. Your best bet is to either remove the hidden attribute from your chitin.key or globally enable to show hidden files in the Windows Explorer options dialog.

Hello there.

 

I have just downloaded the latest version of NI. The program opens up just fine, but then an error hits: Error reading dialog.tlk

The newest version should get around this, but if you wish to use the older ones, then you just open the game folder, and then go to the \lang\en_US\ -subfolder and copy paste the dialog.tlk to the main directory that has the chitin.key file.

This of course supposes that you use the English dialog file...

Wierd 'feature' I noticed just now:

 

- Edit an ARE

- Open a Container (container window opens)

- Change lock difficulty to some new value

- With the Lock difficulty field still in edit mode (with the blinking cursor) close the container window

- Save ARE

- Open ARE again

- Check container lock difficulty

 

You'll notice it hasn't saved your new value In order for it to reflect, you'll have to remove focus from the container lock difficulty field (click any other field) before you close the container window. I'm using the NearInfinity-20140520.zip archive.
