[tool] Minetest Formspec Creator [git]

Minetest Formspec Creator

I decided to program a simple tool which helps you to build formspecs for your mod/game!

You can type code in the text area at the right and the preview will update when you press return.
You can also just "draw" your formspec in the preview area. Just click and drag.


RUN!

Is it accurate to formspecs ingame? Buttons are offset randomly compared to other elements.
Also, I suggest automatically creating the button name etc, and then allow changing them afterwards using a side panel

It should be quite accurate. I tested some formspecs from dev.minetest.net/formspec and it worked pretty well.

Buttons are offset randomly compared to other elements.

Huh, that seems to be a bug. Could you show me a screenshot please, because it is working for me.

Also, I suggest automatically creating the button name etc, and then allow changing them afterwards using a side panel

You can just press return when it asks you about values. It will fill in them automatically. Afterwards you can change the values in the text area on the right.

PS : You can also add list,size and other gui components.

Im a bit confused right now, if Im the only one who realy tried it out or if the bugs only occurring to me (Firefox 48.0.2) :-/
This does not seem to produce valid formspecs.

code I got after playing around:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

size[7,6;]
list[current_player;main;1,1;2,2;]
button[4,1;3,4;asdf;asdfasdf;]
label[3,0;asdfasdf,]

I have 3 points about it:

• there is always a ; too much before the closing bracket ] (except for list) which will result in ERROR[Main]: Invalid <formspec> element():
  
• Also there is currently no way to see the selected tool.
  
• If I hit cancel button, I want to cancel, not to proceed with default value.

I generaly like the idea, but the tool in is current state is just unusable :-( . Dont understand why people here vote +1 or +100

+1 if finished,
-1 currently

Should be fixed now, thank you :)

Also there is currently no way to see the selected tool.

You can see which tool is selected in the top right corner, now.

If I hit cancel button, I want to cancel, not to proceed with default value.

I removed the whole thing with the prompts now, because it seems to annoy many people.

I dont think its unusable. I wrote this tool that I can create formspecs for rpgtest easily. I normally dont use the drag and drop feature, I just use the live editor.
