Mighty editor local development

[Zeephaser 1]

Hey, please can someone give me a step by step guide on how to use mighty editor locally on my computer without Internet. I don't really understand the guide on the github repo.

[stauzs 26]

hi,

 

here is how I use it:

* if on windows - download - git for windows - https://msysgit.github.io/ and install it

* download nodejs - https://nodejs.org/ and install it
* open git bash
* execute following commands:

cd /c/users/your_user_namegit clone https://github.com/TheMightyFingers/mightyeditor.gitcd mightyeditor./startdev

open google chrome and go to http://localhost:8080

 

** you can also want to edit config file- located at: server/config-dev.js

[stauzs 26]

installation requires internet. If you need offline installation:
* download: nodejs - https://nodejs.org/ 

* download git bash - https://msysgit.github.io/

* download fontforge - https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/releases

* download mightyeditor - https://github.com/TheMightyFingers/mightyeditor/archive/master.zip

* save downloaded files on the usb drive.

* install nodejs and git bash on offline computer 

* extract master.zip - e.g. C:\users\your_user_name\mightyeditor

* edit server/config-dev.js - to fit your system

* open git bash

* execute:

cd /c/users/your_user_name/mightyeditor./startdev

Thanks so much! Two more things 1.Do I need to be on github clone the repo? and does gitbash come with git for Windows or is separate?

And what do I need to edit config-dev. js for? Sorry if I sound dumb I'm a noob

Thanks so much! Two more things 1.Do I need to be on github clone the repo? and does gitbash come with git for Windows or is separate?

imo - you don't need an account to clone repo  - why don't you try out?

Git bash is a part of git for windows 

 

And what do I need to edit config-dev. js for? Sorry if I sound dumb I'm a noob

If fonts isn't working - you might need to change fontforge to full path

you can change host and port also there.

OK thanks so much, what I actually meant was what config-dev.js used for sorry but thanks now I get it

I have setup the mightyeditor in my system, but I encountered a problem,

when I click userdata in the editor page,

it shows "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property length of #<CSSStyleDeclaration> which has only a getter",

so I cannot add or edit userdata, did I miss something in the installation?

 

Trace back to the editor source code as follows: (:8080/MT/ui/InputHelper.js:85)

...

inheritStyle: function(){

   var bounds = this.el.getBoundingClientRect();

   var style = window.getComputedStyle(this.el);

   for(var i in style){

      this.input.style = style;                                                <-- this line causes the problem

   }

...

 

 

ps. I am using up-to-date chrome browser.

and sorry for my pool english.

Hi,

 

you need to install node modules (server dependencies):

cd servernpm install

Another question to local dev: How can I move my Map Editor scene?
Sure I can export the whole project via export but how to import it so you can continue to develop on the same project on another computer?

[stauzs 26]

hi

 

projects are located in the:
MightyEditor/client/data/projects

You can copy/rename project folder or move to another computer.

 

 

 

ME project link contains ID: {project_id}/{revision_name} 
revision name by default is 0
 

[Sacer 0]

Yeah I did that. If I click on "Source Editor" I can see my written code, browse through the folders and everything - but in the map editor I just have a blank screen. So no assets will show up, no objects are created etc... just a blank screen like a new created project :/

[stauzs 26]

map is stored in the:
project_folder/revision_folder/.db.json

 

I just have verified that you can copy projects and everything should work fine.

Be aware that you need to turn off nodejs ( server ) if you are overwriting existing project - otherwise server can rewrite newly copied files any time.

 

You can call your project any name you wish instead of hash - e.g. RacingGame ( instead of p2555 )

 

and then navigate to the: http://localhost:8080/#RacingGame

I hate linux and its hidden file security stuff... thx again, dude ^^"

aaaand some other issues. I wanted to give windows another try, so I cloned my instance. When I use Chrome for DEV chrome takes ALL my RAM (and I mean ALL of it! All 16GB!). Another Problem: fontforge, I installed it but when I want to add a font it just says:

 ERROR: exec fontforge { [Error: Command failed: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /s /c "fontforge -script info.pe
 The command "fontforge" could not be found (<-- hand translated from german, somethink like this in english)

Wow, I thought it was bad when chrome sucked dry my 4gb ram.

I haven't tried in a while as I got scared away by the ram requirements on my older ultrabook, but I had more luck memory wise on Firefox.

On some windows versions I believe chrome has may have some leak problems, not sure where the fault may lie though.

But in my brief test Firefox didn't have the same problem.

[Sacer 0]

it's no problem using chrome on linux. runs fine. but on windows it causes these ram problems. I use Opera now for dev on windows and maybe git for my projects to switch easier between win and linux. but the font-forge problem still remains. I can see from the error, that I need to have fontforge in my PATH for executing command-line stuff. But I'm not sure if a "special" font-forge setup is needed for windows. I just googled it and took the first setup I got.

You can skip that command - as by default git bash starts in "home" folder
