The main reason I chose to make this a separate resource was so v1 could live on as is; it's not cancelled or unusable, just unsupported for the time being.
Why is this better than version 1?
Planned features / Features in progress:
Installation
The download (see button at the top for a link) will be a ZIP file with ONE folder inside it. Copy that one folder over to the root folder, so that you have a folder called "PBS Editor" next to "Audio", "PBS", "Graphics", etc.
(It doesn't matter what the folder itself is called, as long as it is inside it)
If you installed it incorrectly, you will get a MESSAGE that says so. Because I know the vast majority of all users will still manage to fuck this up.
To run the program, run PBS Editor.exe inside the PBS Editor folder.
Because I know someone'll manage to fuck this up too, NO, you CANNOT run this from the ZIP itself.
I could write another 20k character-long bit of documentation, but really, nobody ever reads that. It's a waste of my time and your time.
I don't think it's necessary though. Everything should be pretty self-explanatory so far. If I do add some weird or complex features later on, I'll make sure to document them here.
Why is this better than version 1?
- Way faster. Loading and saving is 10x as fast as it was originally due to more efficient management.
- Nothing is hardcoded. You can change properties such as gender ratios, growth rates, egg groups, color, evolution methods, habitats, and more.
- Find values and properties with one press of a button, or with the Ctrl + F shortcut.
- Test out your PBS by clicking the Test-compile option. This will go through all your species, items, moves, forms, and see if their properties are valid. This isn't that thorough of a test, but will catch the majority of crucial typo's and bugs. You can see all warnings in a "log".
- Sort all your lists. Even those in dropdown menu's.
Planned features / Features in progress:
- Undo/Redo
- Activity Log
- Editors for the remaining PBS files
- Import functionality for the editors
- A built-in updater
- And a whole bunch more.
