nommiin/builder

A GMEdit plugin that allows for VM compilation and testing from directly inside of GMEdit itself

builder's Issues

Plugin cannot be installed if only the beta version of Game maker is installed

When loading the plugin a first time, if only the beta version of game maker is installed and not the stable version, it will try to read an inexistant folder and crash :
Uncaught Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'C:\ProgramData/GameMakerStudio2/Cache/runtimes/'

New Feature/Setting - Focus Output Tab

I'd like to have a "Focus Output Tab" tick-box setting in the options, so that it can be deselected by the user - the result is the tab focus remains on the users project code when compiling (via F5) - as currently when the user compiles the output tab always takes focus which can be a little annoying.

Shaders don't compile on macOS 10.15.7

Game automatically close when access resources inside "Include Files"

I use Yal's GMLive as a script engine. When I try to execute scripts include in "Include Files" via live_execute_file() the game close silently without any errors. GMS2 IDE doesn't have this problem.

Edit: I checked the folder generated by the builder and saw all files are in there so I don't know what cause the problem.

Edit2: Both GMS2 and GMEdit use the same runtime: 2.2.5.38

Run greyed out

Nice work on this one! I can't get the plugin to work though. "Run" is greyed out (with a project opened). I use Windows 7. If I go to builder settings and click Reload runtimes, I get an error message saying: "The given runtime location does not exist!". The runtime location is correct.

Anyway to specify the config to build with?

This thing ^^

TempFolder path not found when not previously set

in build.js, a path to the GMS2TEMP folder is constructed using the local_settings.json in the user folder.

builder/build.js

Line 64 in e17c3fb

let temppath = usersettings["machine.General Settings.Paths.IDE.TempFolder"] + "/GMS2TEMP";

It just so happens that I've never set this path in the IDE itself, so my local_settings.json does not have the entry for machine.General Settings.Paths.IDE.TempFolder and it simply returns undefined and throws an error in the dev tools console. Setting the path to something different (in the GMS2 IDE under File > Preferences > General Settings > Paths > Temp directory) and then replacing it with the default again (C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\GameMakerStudio2) updated the local_settings.json accordingly.
My guess would be to just assume the default path when the entry is not found, since it implies that the option was never changed to begin with. I don't know if that's the case for everyone or my local_settings.json is just messed up, though.

Great work on the plugin! This pushes GMEdit just one step closer to a full replacement for the IDE!

"Run Project" not appearing in GMEdit

Hi there

I'm running the latest GMEdit on a Mac. I placed the 3 files into:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/AceGM/GMEdit/plugins as per instruction:

But Run Project option is not appearing in GMEdit's main menu:

What am I doing wrong?

With a small wrapper it's possible to implement GMS 1 project support.

https://github.com/nkrapivin/gmacLaunch/releases/latest

It doesn't matter where you call gmacLaunch, it'll always call GMAssetCompiler at AppData\GameMaker-Studio.
It redirects GMAC output through itself and exits with the GMAC's exitCode.
All gmacLaunch-related error messages are prefixed with [gmacLaunch-ERR]:

I tried to implement GMS 1 support myself but I'm pretty poor at JS.

Won't compile if temporary directory is on a slave drive

Compiling stalled here. Moving my temporary directory to C: fixed it. (Thank you very much for making this!)

(edit) Might've found another bug...it seems that after I compile a bunch and reach virtual drive Z, GMEdit freezes. Cleaning virtual drives fixes it. If virtual drives aren't cleaned automatically maybe they should be?

Virus warning

Compile uses non-existent virtual drive occasionally

On occasion the compiler tries to either use a virtual drive that doesn't exist, or removes the virtual drive at the start of compiling. This happens seemingly at random.
I've removed some directory information in the code below.

Virtual Drives never removed

Essentially, at some point builder stopped working. If I hit the F5 button, GMEdit would just lock up entirely, and I wouldn't be able to click on anything, including the Close and Minimize buttons. Reinstalling GMEdit and builder did not fix anything.

I also noticed that for some reason I seemed to have suddenly gained 25 new drives on my computer, one for each letter of the alphabet (except for C, obviously, since that's my main drive). I could not click on or interact with any of these drives.
I restarted my computer, and afterward noticed that 1.) GMEdit and builder worked again, and 2.) The mystery drives were gone.

After paying close attention to the builder log, I realized that builder apparently uses virtual drives, and so I assume those 25 extra drives must have been drives that weren't removed after the game was closed.

I'm not sure what caused this to happen, unfortunately, but I thought the issue was still worth bringing attention to.

Auto save all files when running the game

Is there a way to specify in the config that Builder should auto-save all unsaved files on F5/Run, in order to always run the latest version (like the behavior from GameMaker Studio).

Also, it will be nice to close the output tab when the game has been closed (configurable, like in GMS) or even close previous output tabs when a new run is launched.

Selected runtime - string not being set via dropdown?

Had to manually fill in the runtime value in Builder-preferences.json - didn't seem to be being set via the dropdown?
