EntitySlayer Beta 5

For installation guide and answers to frequently asked questions, please consult the README.

Patch Notes

Added official support for editing JSON files.

• A custom parser is used to read, validate and write out the contents of JSON files
• The JSON parser permits "trailing commas" - but automatically removes them when detected to ensure compliance with the JSON standard.

Other File Types

• In the Open File dialog, you can now filter between "Officially Supported Files" and "All Files"
• A warning will be given when opening an unsupported filetype.
• As EntitySlayer currently stands, most "standard" decls should be fully supported and editable without issue. But unusual one like md6defs and animwebs will likely have issues.

Parser

• Added support for escaped quotes in strings
• Added support for tuples i.e. ( 1, 2, 3) or (1 2 3)
  • Their usage is heavily restricted in entities parsing mode. Permissive parsing mode allows for more usage of them
  • Currently there's no auto-formatting support - tuples will get parsed and stored exactly as they're written

Decompress on Error:

• If an Oodle-compressed file fails to open, EntitySlayer will now decompresses it for you, so you can find and fix errors.
• After fixing your errors, you can open the file in EntitySlayer and toggle compression back on.

New Menu Options

• File --> Reload from Disk - Let's you quickly refresh the file if it's been edited outside of EntitySlayer
• Advanced --> Fix Generated Traversals - See in-editor description. You probably won't ever need to use this.

Other Changes

• Fix memory leak when a file fails to open. Not sure how I never noticed this until now...but it's fixed. Whoops.
• Treeview: Minor improvements to node selection when a commit to the node tree is made
• Editor: Removed automatic semicolon insertion when placing a double quote
• Lots of internal refactoring that simplifies the overall codebase and yields some small performance gains
