LuaSTG Editor Sharp X

(Current release: 0.77.1)

LuaSTG Editor Sharp X is a code generator for the LuaSTG engine, based on the THlib library. It is based on and forked from czh098tom's original Editor Sharp.

Usage

Games can be created for LuaSTG without the use of direct lua coding by using the editor. There are multiple nodes that equate to functions and code groups that can be placed within a hierarchy to generate compatible lua output code. This is the main way of producing content within the editor, but direct coding is permitted as well.

Compatibility

The editor is designed to fit many variants of the LuaSTG engine. New versions can be added within the source via a plugin system, which can change runtime arguments between versions.

ex+ (ExPlus)	-x	aex+ (Sub)	Evo	Others
✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	As long as THlib is present

Depending on the THlib you're using, some of the node functions may not be available. Some of these cases are handled by the editor, displaying a warning about the node not working unless your codebase supports it. This warning can be disabled in the settings.

Features

As a code generator, the editor can virtually handle any type of code you'd likely do in the usual IDE but with a friendly GUI, allowing direct coding via code nodes as well. Here are some creations that can be done natively without extra coding needed, as well as editor features.

Creation	System
Boss fights	Light/Dark editor themes
Stage sections	Automatic engine version detection
Players	Folder/Zip packing
3D Backgrounds	Logging/debug window (Sub only)
Advanced dialog handling	Custom node creation (experimental)
Post-effect and particles	Node marketplace (in development)
Advanced object manipulation	Automatic updates
Game data handling	Discord Rich Presence
Audio control	Auto-saves
Advanced rendering	Project inclusion

Of course, that's just a fraction of all the things the editor is capable of.

Interface

Importing from Editor Sharp

Projects are mostly compatible when bringing them from Sharp to Sharp X. There are exceptions, though, which can all be fixed. Some nodes had their parameter list changed, so you'll need to replace those in your project. These errors will be exhibited in the error list at the bottom, of which you can analyze and see what nodes need to be adjusted.
