TIDE jedit help please
by Hokuto · in Torque Game Engine · 03/20/2005 (2:01 pm) · 15 replies
Hi,
I have downloaded and installed JEDIT 4.2 and TIDE,
but TIDE is asking for jEditLauncher..
while I find some info about jEditLauncher, I cannot actually find the file which should just be a .exe file.
Where can I get the Launcher from? I looked for it in the jedit directory but it is no there
thanks

and the download file info says:
"Download" recent Windows version (installer including JEdit 4.2 pre 11, all plugins and files)!
but then it asks for the Launcher
so not sure what to do... even thiking to change the jedit.jar to .exe! :)

the "jEdit installation and setup" info from the TIDE site
http://torqueide.sourceforge.net/docs/setup.html
mentions this:
Copy cs.xml into your jEdit "modes" directory.
wel I did what it says... got the cs.xml from the TIDE mode folder and copied it into the jedit modes fodler...
but the problem is still there... still looks for the jeditlauncher

from the TIDE Page
http://torqueide.sourceforge.net/docs/using.html
It says:
Copy the 3 (or 4, respectively) provided jar files from the zip into your "/jars" directory.
but it doesn't actaully say which jar files it is talking about? there are tons of jar files that came with the TIDE zip in the TIDE jafs fodler...

again there is I think some difference between maybe the new and TIDE described versin of jEdit but I could find the menues nevertheless....
still it doesn;t work...
There may be 1600 pages of documentation about TGE, but there is too much out of date and unprecise docs around. Very upsetting for noobs that have to fight with setting things up and getting started... take it as a constructive criticism.
Jedit and TIde appear to be the recommended tools from GG for Torque Script, a dumb-proof set up would have been much apprectiated as no one really likes to waste time trying to set this stuff up, failing therefore no gettin anywhere...
Build a script editor or make it easy for noobs to use 3rd party tools, it is that simple really.
I'll try again tomorrow, wasted too much time on it already
thanks for any help you can throw this way

The TIDE plug in has nothing to do with GG. It is simply a free text editor option that many people choose to use. It is not our responsibility to help you make it work. It is really easy to use a text editor. After reading many of your posts, my recommendation would be to double click on the Notepad icon. It works fine.

All it needs is a lil bit of common sence and computer know-how.
@Hokuto
Install the newest version of JEdit.
Grab the Tide.jar file and put it in the jars folder in the JEdit dir.
Start up JEdit, get the error. Go to plugins->plugin manager.
Click the install tab. Click on name to sort the list, go down to "project manager"
install that. Restart JEdit.

Chris, what you suggest is what I did before.. but maybe the problem is that I grabbed a lot of the jar files from the Tide instead the Tide.jar only...
so later on when I get home I'll have a try again
Thanks a lot
Jeff Tunnel,
I'll repy to you later don't worry.

Hi Chris, thanks for trying to come up with help and solution instead emulating Jeff questionable attitude, especially in a private forum for license holders...Chris, what you suggest is what I did before.. but maybe the problem is that I grabbed a lot of the jar files from the Tide instead the Tide.jar only...

If you're still having trouble with JEdit try using this insted: Torque Build Environment. Then add this to eclipse for syntax highlighting for TorqueScript.

"Install JLauncher"
- JLauncher requires the location of your java runtime file. For me, it was in c:\windows\system32. You tell it the directory where your java executable file is, it installs JLauncher automatically. Problem solved.
"Plugin Problems"
- I had numerous plugin problems. All were easily fixed with a little effort. JEdit has a wonderful plugin manager which makes it really easy to fix any problems.
- When I started TIDE, I got a list of plugins that were faulty. I took them on, one at a time, from the top to the bottom of the list. Here's the procedure I used:
1) Note the name of the first plugin causing problems, ignore the rest for the moment.
2) Click the button that takes you directly to the Plugin Manager.
3) Find the plugin on the list of installed plugins, click to highlight it.
4) Click the "Remove" button.
5) Click the "Install" tab. The plugin should now appear on the list allowing you to install a new, clean version of it.
6) Click the box next to the plugin. Make sure there's a checkmark in it.
7) Click the "Install" button.
8) Exit TIDE.
9) Restart TIDE, watch for the plugin error list and tackle the next one.
- I had to do this three or four times, but after uninstalling and reinstalling a few plugins, TIDE worked perfectly. I think these plugin errors happen because the latest version of TIDE might not be using the latest plugins. When you uninstall and then reinstall the plugins, you are downloading and installing the latest version. (I think.) If anyone has better speculation than this, please correct me! ;)

I'm going to post my problems and fixes with TIDE here, even though I already posted them in comments on the resource page. Hopefully, this will help anyone else who wants to get TIDE working."Install JLauncher"

Also, TIDE shouldn't need jEditLauncher, TIDE only needs the ProjectManager (that is right, right? I know it is project something) plugin.
