Scripting

Post by Emphasis »

Hi,

I started playing BGII again. (not very importend :rolleyes: )
When I used to play BGII i was busy with 'scripting'.
Write an IF-THEN script for a character with nice visual effects etc.
Its a really cool world beyond the basic RPG adventure gaming.
It was really cool and i want to start again but i forgot like most of it, i know i need near infinity (and shadow keeper to make cool looking characters) and i need some text editor with a compiler in it, i had a really fancy one but i forgot the name of it.

My question is can someone help me refresh my memory and help me get the name of this text editor /w compiler or post me a link to d/l his text editor. It was made for BGII scripting so...

Please help me out. Thanks!

Near Infinity allows you to edit scripts, but it's not the most user friendly text editor.

I myself use ConTEXT, which offers keyword highlighting and allows you to hotkey the aicompile.bat that ships with the game.

I myself don't use ConTEXT for compiling but AIScriptFactory, a program that allows you to select bits of script to assemble and compile scripts from. It can be obtained at IE Modders, a Yahoo! group. Unfortunately, Yahoo! changed their policy so that you have to join a group before you can access the files, so I can't link to it directly. Joining a group is not a big hassle, though.
