Sorry for starting a new thread for this, but the old one was terribly long, and the thread was called "Jass editor 1.0" so I felt that I had to start a new thread 8))

As the name suggests, Jass Editor 1.1 is released.

New features in 1.1
- Syntax Checking (Very basic, don't trust it blindly)
- AI-functions and -globals are now in the explorer too
- Find, Find and Replace, and Goto Line.
- Line number and Line index are displayed on statusbar
- Explorer items can be sorted by type (functions by return type)
- AI functions and globals get highlighted.

Bugs/Issues fixed in 1.1
- Load/Save to trigger editor works far better now.
- Loading time when opening a file greatly reduced.
- Pasting static text from other programs such as browsers will not result in a catatrophe.


IMPORTANT
I have implemented a secret button somewhere in the editor. See if you can find it. You have to be inventive to find it though.

Great job.
I know it is very Jass related, but I suggest to put the thread for this tool into Editing Tools.
Just tell some mod here to move the thread.

I'm thinking of a way to reward the first person who track the secret button down.
If anyone finds it please tell me, I want to know if anyone finds it.

Haha! No.
When you find and (and click it) you won't have a doubt!!
Hint It's covered by another thing, which you have to move first.

ok, took me about 1 minute to find it.

Hold Ctrl + both mouse buttons and drag away icon in about dialog. Most programmers hide the easter egg the very same way on the very same location :)

The editor is much better now than 1.0 I think, nice job :D

BTW, can't you make it actualy print a TAB instead of jumping to the find box when I hit TAB ?

Oh and there is only one of the 5 neutral heroes in AIConstants, it´s PIT_LORD.

BEAST_MASTER
SEA_WITCH
DARK_RANGER
BREW_MASTER

seems to be missing.

Zalamander, how many times did you find him?

About the missing globals, just add them to the AIConst.txt file manually.

hehe, well at first I never realised that he actualy was hidning somewhere else but I guess he is not hiding any more now after he said that he won't be found again after the third time I found him. :)

It is no wonder that the other neutral heroes are not in there because they are not in the Blizzard common.ai .

If you don't mind a bit extra work, you could add tabs in the next
version. It's really,really useful when trying to write some readable code :>

I will take quite a while before the next version is released, if it will ever be released. I'm working on other stuff now. Like the Jass Vault (or whatever its name is).
