Balid's worked hard on Indigo, so investing in Indigo is well worth it! No doubt he'll chime in shortly to assess this bug.

BFM,

Please try downloading the latest (v1.4.0.1) version. Special for you. So I am really hoping that it fixes that latest issue. Took a bit to duplicate but I was finally able to find one of my projects that did the same thing.

Tyrone M,

You are pretty close on your history lesson for the origins of Indigo. BlueIDE and BlueIDE 2 (where I come in) are open source projects. And while it is true that without BlueIDE 2, Indigo would most likely not exist. Less than 1% of Indigo came from BlueIDE 2 with everything else a complete re-write or 100% new. And Indigo started as my own personal editor which I shared with a few that I know heavily used BlueIDE 2 and they convinced me to share it with the larger community.
Quote: "I doubt that Indigo is Craig's life work "

For over nine years it was the #1 free time filler. While Indigo is not #1 anymore, I am still putting sometime into it. Last year I believe that there were 7 updates to Indigo. And thats counting both v1.3.4 and v1.4.0 as one, so not double counting. Which basically averages to an update every other month. I would still call that fairly active development.

Thank you for your support.

Guido Italy,

Thank you.


Chris Tate,

I've been doing volunteer work for a couple of non-profit organizations in my area. The main one, I've been doing some design, drafting, and 3D modeling work on a new product that they started about a year ago. Then there is new start up non-profit that I'm helping with designing, documenting and eventually help implement some internal software applications. Once they are up and running I will be volunteering there to help with things like basic project management / planning, design (both software and mechanical), drafting, and concept visualization (2D and possibly 3D).

And when I need a break from those (which is about every 2 months), I pick up Indigo again.

All the best,

Chris Tate and BFM,

In regards to 3D modeling I am still very basic. I initially started about 10 years ago but only started to get serious about 2 years ago. I started with MilkShape and I'm now using 3D Max. I did most of the models in my latest game for my kids and I do mock ups spaces (rooms) and other basic objects. My current project is of a seeder component for a new style ripper for a non-profit organization.


For any one that's interested,

It looks like i won't be putting as much time at the second non-profit that I mentioned as I thought. They are rethinking their approach and with the time not spent on their project, I will be putting it into Indigo. I just downloaded Visual Studio 2013 and will be porting Indigo over. While I have a wish list (somewhere), are there any ideas for the next release?

All the best,

Since you ask...
I\'d really like you to sort out the highlighting on parenthesis or at least put in the option for users to do it.
Right now it\'s almost impossible to tell if the cursor is to the left or right of a bracket or even if it is highlighted.

And since I've recently moved my focus over to agk2. I'd really love it if indigo was an option for AppGameKit coding. Have you spoken with the guys at TGC?

I was looking for a keyboard shortcut the other day to highlight/select the entire current/active line, for either copy/paste or deletion.

Scraggle,

Have you tried changing the font coloring and sizing for brace matching? As it works reliably for me could you provide an example where the highlighting is not working for you?

I had looked a bit into Indigo for AppGameKit tier 1, and it seems possible, but got side tracked . Since AGK2 development can already be done in MS Visual Studio I really didn't think of an Indigo variant for AGK2. And no, I have not contacted TGC with that option. But I may need to seriously consider it. As I really haven't visited the AppGameKit part of forums, do you know if Indigo has come up in discussions there?


BFM,

Added to the next release [Crtl+E].

V1.4.1 Beta 1 has been uploaded.

I got a new computer a little while back and I'm still working out getting all of my development stuff loaded and configured. Otherwise this release would have been out earlier.

Change log:
:+: [Crtl+E] will select the current line that your caret is on
:+: Added an option to use short tabs on the side docking. Similar to what Blue IDE 2 was able to do. {activated versions}
:/: Fixed issue with 'Find Next' not playing nice with Auto-Indent and Folding.

And I changed the splash screen as well.

Morning Balid,

I found this thread rather interesting.
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=214185&b=1&p=0

I was curious of your thoughts regarding gearing up Indigo as an IDE for FreeBASIC.

BFM,

Yes, quite interesting. If this proves to be viable then I will most likely port my latest DBPro project. And at that point I would want to do the coding in Indigo as well. But would need to do some work to get a GUI editor in place.

All the best,

Manson_NS,

The problem has more to do with the compiler then Indigo. I added the message to Indigo to let people know that the situation has occurred. Sorry, but I am not in a position to be able to fix the compiler so it always produces an error report.

On a side, are you getting this message frequently?


BFM,

Do you still use your gmail account?

That is an error which can easily be caused by an excess of functions or sub routines. How many functions and sub routines do you have in your project? If in excess of 2000 of them, the solution is to reduce this count; in either case Indigo is not the source of your error.

I've always loved Indigo from the beginning. Does the activation code only unlock those bonus features until the expiration date? I've had a code for years but the IDE still expires on me.

Edit: Nevermind, I was trying to load an old copy.

KISTech,

The activation code also removes the expiration of Indigo as well. You need to go to the About dialog to enter the Activation name and code.

I checked by records but I'm not able to find the email address used to send you the first activation code. Could it have been different then the one in your profile?

All the best,

My hard disk crashed, my emails have disappeared, I have managed to restore a backup that is two years old. I am certain that I have made a couple of contributions towards keeping Indigo going (you must have records). My current (two year old) version is 1.3.1. Do I have to donate again to make the latest version work?

I've got pretty good records . Though it took me longer than it really should have for me to find our original conversation back in March of 2012.

Shall I send the key to the same email address or a new one? Or email me directly.

Greetings; how are things?

Just a minor bug I should point out; if a project file has its file extension (.dbpro) in uppercase, Indigo 1.3.4 will not open it.

It is the old version (the IDE without the ribbon); so perhaps this is not the case with the new one.

Another thing; when you try to pass a project as the commandline, it will not open the project you expect it to open. Only a blank project is generated. Just so you know.

Chris,

I think I've got it sorted out. For now I am going to upload the updated version here for you. The is more work to be added for the 1.3.5 release but no need to for you to have to wait.

This is just the exe file. Make a copy of your current Indigo exe and replacing with this one.

All the best,

Just noticed a bug.

I'm working on a client and server scenario. I have them open in 2 instances of Indigo.

The client and server share a couple of common files, so I close one project to make the changes in the other and then reopen it.

I just did this and went to reopen the server. It loaded the server code in both windows.

What options do you have set when opening projects?

Could you provide screenshots for the colorizing.

Which settings would you like to know?

Colorization:



If I go to the end of the DAT_PLANET line and hit enter it updates the color on all the ones below it.

For functions and labels, they don't get their color when I copy and paste them in. If I go to the top one in that batch and hit enter after that line, it updates all the ones below it.

Hope that helps.

luskos,

Were all of those labels in one file? And I take it the you did not have automatic back up turned on. If you did, then there should be a folder labeled Backup in the same folder as the DBPro file.

BatVink, Thank you.

All,

It's been far too long since I last posted. But in that time Indigo was and is still alive. With this next release (v1.4.2) no more expiring, an Error Output window showing all identified syntax errors from all project include files, and more minor bug fixes and misc improvements. I have one last small adjustment to make and am hoping to get this posted within the next two weeks (before Christmas).

All the best,

Thank you for letting me know. The link for Indigo v1.4.2 b1 has been fixed.

The link in my signature should be pointing to this thread and has probably been broke for awhile now. Should be fixed now.

The latest update is really cool. I really like the consistency of the tooltips and syntax highlighting.

Just to let you know that in the latest version, when you try to edit any of the code prior to the function declaration; you will either get a mismatched parenthesis or quote mark error

Quote: "`%Project Title%
`%Source File Name%
`======================

Print "http://www.google.co.uk/mail = ";
Print GetDomainName("http://www.google.co.uk/mail")

Print GetDomainName("http://www.google.co.uk/mail")

Print "http://www.google.co.uk/mail = ";
Print GetDomainName("http://www.google.co.uk/mail")


FUNCTION GetDomainName(webPage$)
//GET DOMAIN NAME. Put in clean URL in webPage$
currentDomain$ = ""
webPage$ = webPage$

IF Start > 0
INC Start,8
Finish = FIND ASCII( webPage$, 47, Start)

IF Finish = 0 THEN domainResult$ = webPage$
ENDIF
IF Start = 0
domainResult$ = "No Valid Domain Found"
ENDIF
ENDFUNCTION domainResult$"


I am sure there is something in the code which is confusing the error handler.
