Ok, I have looked at it.
The error was found and fixed.
However, it is now necessary to initialise FileExplore manually under AgkStudio.
Most functions work without initialisation.
But if you want to be sure, you should initialise FE.

Init example:


FIX - Some functions do not work correctly under AgkStudio. For example, GetWindowX/Y. Is fixed.
ADD - New function Init - returns 1 on successful initialisation.

I cant remember if its the case with FE but many of the user plugins are 32-bit only. I dont know what's involved but it would be nice to see full support for both classic & studio and 32 & 64 bit with these great plugins.

actually, ive been compiling games as 64 bit simply because "64" sounds better than "32". What do we gain (or lose) with that practice? Should i be concerned with 64 bit or stick with 32?

No, stick with 64 bit if you can but offer your users a 32 bit alternative, with 64 bit you have access to more RAM, most machines nowdays have 64 bit processers anyway so it should not be a problem.

I'm a luddite and only recently A. discovered the "Windows 64" option in the AppGameKit settings and B. only used PB 32 ... don't ask I don't know just so used to (oh heck not the 64 bit thing again)

Would it be possible to expose the regular expression functions to search strings?
Would it also be possible to get the date selector dialog?

Since the UPDATE 03-07-2019 a date-time-picker dialog should be available.

I'm still thinking about the regular expression. I have too much to do right now to add new things.

EDIT:
I will see if I can find time for it

So far so good.
I am now launching 5 more functions here.

RegExMatch(String str, String regex)
Compares the text (str) with the regular expression (regex). If it matches, 1 is returned, otherwise 0.

RegExSearch(String str, String regex)
Searches the text (str) for regex and returns all found words in a JSON string array.

RegExSearchPosition(String str, String regex)
The same as before, but in this case it returns the position and length of the strings found in a JSON array.
All values are zero based.

RegExReplace(String str, String regex, String replace)
All occurrences of the regex in the string str are replaced with replace.

RegExReplace(String str, String regex, String replace, Integer start, Integer end)
Like the previous function, but here you can specify a range within the text that will be searched and replaced.
If start < 0, the beginning of the text is automatically set.
If end < 0, the end of the text is automatically set.
Both values are zero based.

I hope the functions are sufficient and the description is somewhat understandable.

I have AppGameKit tier 1 trial...I put the plugin files in the "\The Game Creators\AGK2Trial\Tier 1\Compiler\Plugins" folder, I made sure in the preferences the use plugins option was checked. I made sure the program was restarted. What step have I missed to get this plugin working?

For that I would need to know what exactly is not working. Any error message?

By the way, activating the plugins in the preferences only applies to the geany editor plugins.

In the code you load a plugin with #import_plugin <foldername of the plugin> at the beginning of the code. (Without the <>

Please give a code snippet of how you use the plugin and check if you copied the files to the right place.

It should look something like this.
"The Game Creators\AGK2Trial\Tier 1\Compiler\Plugins\FileExplore"
this is where these files should be.

The following code should display a file selection box and display the selected files.
If it does not work, then it will be as Virtual Nomad and blink0k have already explained that plugins do not work with the trial version.

The files are in any case in the right place.

except it copies said file into your write folder (unless that's what you want).
could always delete the copy but that's not a proper work around. the command should have the OPTION to copy it.

hey, MadBit.

i know you're busy but can i get a working example of returning a folder path via FileExplore.ChooseFolderDialog() ?

i can't figure out the parameters which show: FileExplore.ChooseFolderDialog(Title$, Filter$, MultiSelect) syntax.

and,

FileExplore.ChooseFolderDialog("Choose Folder", " " , 0)

errors with "choosefolderdialog" does not accept the parameters (String, String, Integer)

not sure what the Filter param might be but any guidance is appreciated!

Folder dialog does not support filters, that should probably read "DefaultPath", and drop the last param, Folder dialog also does not support multiselect

@PTC, ok, that calls the dialog but if i...

WriteDIR$ = FileExplore.ChooseFolderDialog("Choose Folder",WriteDIR$)

...it lanches a small browser but doesn't change the title and doesn't go to WriteDIR$

it does set WriteDIR$ to wherever i browse, tho. so, it'll work.

otherwise, maybe i have some old tag files or something re: those params.

...moving Forward, now (just not as far as i wanted to). alas, i'll take it.

THANKS!

Maah that's my fault. It is a typo in the tag definition file.
The correct parameters should be ChooseFolderDialog(Title$, InitPath$)
The title is also more of a message that appears below the title.
Sorry is a bit misleading.

ok, and choosing much more than 20 files at once in the file dialog seems bugged or i'm doing something wrong?

i'm writing a batch image scaler and loading the images thusly:

tokens 0 and 1 are odd. isn't 0 the path? then, 1? i have to get at 2 to start feeding images.

then, if Num > ~22, nothing gets loaded and the path at 1 is a single (seemingly random) character. some of the animation files i want to convert have over 70 frames.

then, the choose folder dialog is tiny and un-scalable? ie, can't resize?

still learning, here

The problem will be that the string that is returned can only be a maximum of 780 characters long. (MAX_PATH * 3)
I can still change this but only after the TD competition.

Quote: "tokens 0 and 1 are odd. isn't 0 the path? then, 1? i have to get at 2 to start feeding images."

Since AGK-Basic starts counting with 1 and not with 0, 1 is the path when you use GetStringToken. The rest that comes after that would be the files.

Quote: "then, the choose folder dialog is tiny and un-scalable? ie, can't resize?"

It is the standard Windows BrowseFolder dialogue. I don't think you can resize it.

understood it's not much of an inconvenience to limit to the "20 files at a time" in the meantime. i'll (try to) code in a limit "780 characters" for now.

thanks again, madbit!

for my plugins I use an internal linked list and allocate the memory dynamically for each path with agk::CreateString, see my CL plugin

ulFlags parameter of BROWSEINFO structure allows you to BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE which will allow resize and add "New Folder" button

Ok,
here's the problem. If I do it the way PTC suggested. So if I use the flag BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE or BIF_USENEWUI. The plugin crashes and terminates the programme. I don't know what the problem is, it should work.
The good news is that I have found a solution. By using the IFileDialog interface instead of SHBrowseForFolder. Then we have the typical new and fancy design of Windows.
The catch is. It is only compatible with Windows Vista and newer.
The question is how important is Win-XP support to you? Does anyone still use XP at all?

Hi MadBit

Can I implement PrintCMD()?
This function prints text to cmd.exe.

Alternatively, you can use PrintNotePad().
It may be easier to use notepad.exe, which can output in utf-8 format, considering the encoding of Windows terminals.

This is useful for monitoring whether the game is working as intended.

I forgot that I have already implemented a similar function.
You first have to open a console (OpenConsole).
Then you can output text to the console with ConsoleWrite.

This is because the command is not called what you expect it to be. You should reach your goal with FileMove/FolderMove
You can use it to move or rename files or folders.

The ChooseFolder command works for me. What exactly happens (how does it crash)?
