Hello! So one of the biggest hurdles I have faced while using the Intersect Engine, is editing the GUI. Any big changes require a lot of work, and while it isn't difficult to edit the JSON files and figure out what does what. It does take time, and constant reopening of the client to check the changed.

 

I decided to make a tool that will load the Intersect Engine GUI JSON files and give you a visual editor for them. It simplifies the JSON file into a TreeView that is easy to edit and save.

 

Currently this is limited in what it will show but I will be adding much more to this tool. This is the initial alpha release, there will likely be bugs Please tell me about bugs!

 

This project is Open Source though it is coded in VB.NET and I am trash, be thankful this even works lol.

 

Preview:

Download:
https://github.com/OniSensei/Intersect-GUI-Editor/releases/tag/1.0.0.1

 

Source:

https://github.com/OniSensei/Intersect-GUI-Editor

 

Make sure to copy and paste the contents of your Client > Resource > gui folder to the editors gui folder, and replace any images in the resources folder that you would like. The custom font is still experimental at this time but in theory it should work, you can change the font by putting a .ttf file into the font folder and changing the font in the settings window (cog icon).

 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them! And follow the development here:

This is it fam. Whether it works or not this is as close to an official gui editor you're gonna get for the foreseeable future. 

 

One thing that wouldn't be easy but insanely cool regardless (feature request inbound) would be bundling the MonoGame content builder and providing a gui to generate game fonts by selecting system font files and a helper for selecting character regions to generate. 

 

Either way good work, it looks great, thanks for sharing @OniSensei and I hope it is helpful to many around here.

Thanks! It’s just sloppy, I wanted to get something functional to begin with, I can clean up the json deserialization a lot among other things.

Sorry for double posting but just wanted to highlight there has been a small update.

 

Thanks to @Weylon Santana 's feature requests there have been a few updates to the over all use-ability.

 

The textbox that contains the value you are editing no longer resets after updating, as well as the selected node in the treeview, this enables faster and more frequent edits. Additionally, I enabled the text editor, edits within the editor will now show up on the visual panel as well as update the treeview. Finally I added a few tips, when you select a node on the treeview the status bar at the bottom will reflect a tip on what the values mean to give newer users a more in depth idea of what they are changing. More tips will come, as I only added the few I am particularly knowledgeable about and would love to crowd source anything you guys think would be valuable tips.

The main post has already been updated with the new version download, and the repo is always up to date.

I tried editing the 'EventDialogWindow_1Response' since I assume that is what the 'Show Text' event dialogue uses? I can enlarge the window just fine, and move the response button, but when I go into the client to see the enlarged window it doesn't work?

This is likely due to the client setting the sizes during load times rather than reading the json, this happens with some json files.

I had a similar issue. You have to edit both the bounds of  "EventDialogArea" & "EventDialogAreaNoFace" otherwise it wont work and your settings will keep getting overwritten.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

dunno atm, why? are you missing stuff?  or have errors?

 

Yeah all the same errors nvh is getting. Compiled source and ran it (has the resources folder in that directory) and can't make any changes. When update is clicked it gives the error nvh posted.

So my question is what else is in that directory? Because from looking myself, IGE uses Newtonsoft.Json 13, and the error nvh had is Newtonsoft.Json 12 -- which Intersect uses. Makes me think IGE was dumped into the same directory as the Intersect client and then run.

That said, I get a totally different error on clicking Update because IGE doesn't create the temp directory if it does not already exist.

You're correct. I didn't read the error I got and assumed it was the same because they copied and pasted the entire log. Mine looks like this:
