I've started work on a new full screen editor that will support different screen sizes, and not wrap text.

This editor will be built into magicka, so you will still be able to run magiedit as an external editor if you want to.

This is a bit more complex, as it has to support displaying on the screen (which will be wrapped to screen length, but saving will not.) I also
intend to support window size changes whilst editing text.

At the end I plan to remove magiedit from Magicka git and pop it in it's
own git repo, and then I can remove opendoors from the git repo too.

This is going to be slow going.

Very cool. GossipEd supports dynamic resizing and I
love it. Golded does not and sometimes I forget to
lock screen rotation on my mobile device ...

Hi there

I've been working on a new full screen editor for titan that I plan to port over to magicka once it's done.

This editor doesn't wrap at 80 chars, only when you press enter.

It's very buggy at present.. but good enough for testing (I'm using it now)..

If you want to try it, head over to wunderlust, but be warned it will probably crash or something like that..

I've had enough for now. Will come back to it in a bit.

Added spell checking :)

Seems to work!

I'm sure there are still bugs, and performance is terrible (I'm refreshing the whole screen every change)

It'll get there :)

Ok, i see. you meant testing over here at wunderlust :)
it seems not to respond to german umlauts yet but that is to be expected i guess.
The spellchecking is a nice feature.

Hi,

Nice! will there be different codepages possible? if i'm right magiedit
does cp437 only, right? i tried latin1 for example but that gave me some
error.

It's very buggy at present.. but good enough for testing

you mean testing with MagickaBBS as well?

Yeah, I think so. I'm not sure how to do different codepages. at present it just reads basic ascii.

Not yet, at present this editor is built into titan, I plan to make it into a door so magicka can use it, but want to get everything tested first to make sure there aren't any bugs.

yes, Magiedit processes Umlauts. I asume you will not see the right
letters?

present it just reads basic ascii.

CP437 is good as long as you stay within the cp437 world. And here we are
in fidonet again :) the topic of codepage mapping came up also when i was connecting as a node to fidonet RC. I see posts from german mystic bbs
where
the umlauts dont show up correctly. So it seems a common problem for
everyone writing from wihin a bbs editor. i think for golded and other
external
editors there are solutions but i have no experience with external
editors yet. So i can't tell for sure.

Hey, i just browsed through some very old 20GB and 80GB harddrives and
found some old reg keys for bbs software etc and some old infofiles and
stuff for the LiQUiD Group i was a member of.
I also found a regKey for IceEd. How about trying to reactivate IceEd
again? :) well, its a dos
program.. But i would like to see something i was familiar with back
then. Could that work in general? Using a DOS Editor via DOS Emulation on Raspberry Pi with MagickaBBS?

RE: Re: Full Screen Editor

I've been working on a new full screen editor for titan that I plan to
port over to magicka once it's done.

I also had that itch lately and wrote a basic one for WWIV a few weeks ago. It's in the main branch if you wan to take a look. The most interesting bits are in model.cpp and commands.cpp all under https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/tree/main/bbs/fsed

I'll check yours out, it was fun to write for me.

Lately I've been working on a ACS language to do auth checking for commands in menus, subs, etc.

I am probably asking a dumb question but, if it does not wrap at 80 chars,
how does the user keep up with what they have typed, i.e. what happens once they go over 80 chars a line?

Oh, it visually wraps in the editor, but the line itself stays one long line.

It's a little bit hard to explain.

I get it now. It looks to the user like it wrapped but it is stored, and presumably transferred, in one line.

Thanks!

Spent last night and this morning / afternoon working on a new built in fullscreen editor for talisman..

It seems to be working.. but I don't doubt there are bugs.

You can test it out on my bbs if you like, it won't be available until
v0.5 as it's built in.

You can override it with an external editor, so you're not locked into
using this. I just felt that I really needed a default full screen editor
as well.

This message was written with it... seems ok so far.
