Haha, I never knew that there were other D&D to GML programs until i actually published this online. Then, I started adding more stuff to boost up the competition. Anyways, if you want, feel free to post any GML functions that you want in here (only takes about 5 minutes to make a custom button--yes, I do make custom buttons --and create the code)

I have just released another version of Game Maker Buddy which includes fixes to multiple line code output and other small problems.

I'll be looking for feedback. Meanwhile, if I find a short amount of time, I'll replace all the color choosing with default "c_" colors with get_color.

Nice improvements!! I can't wait for the next version. I suggest you allow multiple commands at once.

dam...no mplay in 2.4

[Commander~DEST]

Yeah. It would be nice if it had multiplayer functions.

[allong]

This is alright and fairly easy to use, some of the questions would be kinda hard for an early D&D user so what might work is adding a little ? button that when clicked would give more information. It would also really be cool if instead of clicking each D&D button and getting its code, if there was one main large textbox in which the code would be written to after you choose an action and arguments, and then be able to save the whole thing as a .gml or .txt file

As a new comer to Game Maker I was doing it to mainly learn GML, and this tool has helped me out SO MUCH! I have been using 2.3 (going to 2.4 now) and I want to thank you for such a great tool!

This should be stickied in the novice section for all new GML learners.

Thank you!

The only thing I would add (if you dont have it on your list now) is multiplayer functions.

Does anyone know why the GM Buddy's copy button doesn't work on all function codes? I am using Windows XP Professional and when I try to copy the code to the clipboard it doesn't always work.

Why'd you triple post? That could get you banned.

[iluvfuz]

Okay, it's obvious people are suggesting:
- MPLAY functions
- Multiple command instantaneous translation

The reason I have not already added mplay functions is because it's extremely unpopular with GM online coder. Mplay is very slow and lags a lot when there are 4+ people. 39dll is smoother and much faster.

So, my question to you is: Would you like GML Buddy v2.5 to have:
- mplay functions only
- 39dll code only
- mplay and 39dll code

Secondly, I have not included my multiple D&D translations because my engine seems to have a problem with it. Also, i wish to get all of my custom D&D commands in before I add the multiple command translations, because then I would it would get messy trying to add new code and make it work with the block translating.

To gameherder: this may be a fault on my part, I added new code and modified some to make it run smoother, so I might've messed the whole thing up. I will test immediately.
EDIT: Yes, single line codes do not work, only multiple line! I will release a minor update of GML Buddy soon. For now, use v2.3 I have supplied


Thanks for all of your positive replies and suggestions! I will take them all into account as I continue working on GML Buddy (remember it takes some time making those customized icons for the fake D&D commands, and sometimes, it takes 200 lines of inefficient code for me to work out the translation).

Useful, I didn't play around with it too much but I got the hang of it. Is it possible for it to copy the script to a text file then you can just copy it? That would be good.

[iluvfuz]

Okay, I have successfully fixed that problem, everything should be working now.

Minor update 3/1/09
Fixed:
- Single line codes could not be copied prior to the update
- In the Help screen, there is a link to the manual
- The menu had a 'ghost' reflection from a previous menu design (v2.3)

First time user and I was not familiar with the posting process.
