New Extension to .txt scripts
My idea is to change the txt file extension for scripts. Make the extension in ".flare" for the following reasons:
- Flare engine script files are simple text files in .txt format, so changing the extension and reading from the game engine does not make it difficult (I guess).
-
I'm going to develop a small text editor dedicated to modding, which includes: syntax highlight, and a small menu to insert snippets of code to simplify modding.
- In the editor, I would also like to include an on-line help (local html guide recalled with the F1 key) that helps build your own mod in simple guided steps (step by step to build a complete dungeon base, including mechanisms, enemies, and the main features of the gaming engine).
Other things I will do next, for now I enjoy making the editor (very simple) then he gets better.
I think it's a good idea, especially for those who want to create their own game by exploiting the flare engine without having ever created a mod in her life.
For now I'm looking for all the instructions and features that I can implement shortly since flare engine is still in development is not much documentation and so many things I've learned by studying official mod code and doing experiments .
If someone likes my idea, I'm happy to receive tips and suggestions for my idea. Thank you all.
