I don't use VS personally so I can't tell, I have VSC for other languages, so I went that way, it is very lightweight, and there are mutliple vbs extensions to facilitate the development.

and alt mouse to select lines works also in vsc :)

Finally giving the betas a try...

 

bug report?  If I try and copy the text of the name of a light, and past it into the name of another object.  It seems to just be copy and pasting the whole object.  not just the selected text.

Yes, it basically creates a new light.

 

If you have Light001 & Light002, copy the name and paste into the Light name field you get a Light003.

 

Without looking it looks like the Main Editor would be selected for it to do that, or if you paste it's selecting the table in editor just before running a paste command.

All tables have scripts, i am just interested in opening and saving the table script from vscode which is very powerful and handy, i don't wanna change the way the tables are downloadable.
I looked at batman 66 with 27000 lines of code, it was easier with vscode.
Well, it is a nice to have for me, and i don't know about the feasibility, or the interest other than me as you say, i am just wondering

Just do what i suggested then
and when your code is finalized, move the vbs out of the tables folder, open the table
and paste that code into the table itself, and you are ready to upload

 

You can do the same in reverse for modding a table
Open table, select all code, cut, paste into vbs file.
Save table, close and reopen table, now table will look to the external vbs for its code

When you are done, do same as above to put code back inside the table again

I can do what you are talking about, but it is a one way street
i can read out of the datafile, i can load the script into an external editor
but i can not save back to the data file, nothing else but vpx knows how to write back to vpx

I get that.  I think whats happening is..  If I highlight the text.  Right-Click and choose copy.  its copying the light, not the text.  So when I do the same to paste it.  Its just pasting a new light.. (not text)

Just hoping someone can confirm this or whether I have a problem somewhere:

 

Using RC 249, the "Truck Stop ver 2.1.0" table crashes - The backglass loads, but the table never comes up.  

 

Going back to rc225, everything seems to work okay.

 

Thanks.

Sorry,  I just changed the title of the VPINBALL exe .  The title had "crashes on truckstop".  I think the exe came from the title of the vpinball exe.

 

Again Sorry for the confustion.

Ok, i saw that and i was thinking like some old EXE backglass or something

Well the crash log should help toxie and fuzzel sort it out.
You have a table link, incase they need the table itself to see whats going on?

Thanks for all the hard work.  I've been updating various tables after a few weeks off, but haven't found any others so far,

Just went and tried the version that was mentioned in the JP Deadpool thread and both tables work as expected, so it may already be fixed (version 258).

Notepad++ or Visual Studio (NOT CODE) for editing .VBS.

 

It is only because both editors feature ALT + Mouse selection where you can select pieces of code and I find I do this a lot with VBS.

The VPX editor can also select block of text using the ALT + Mouse, only so you know it ;)
