Tribal IDE Source code

by David Dougher · in General Discussion · 06/01/2003 (6:59 am) · 20 replies

I obtained a copy of the last Tribal IDE. at the time, it was mentioned that the sources were being made available to the community. I never found the sources and the original sites are now long gone.

Does anyone have a copy of the sources? I would like to obtain them to make a small update to have the system automatically recognize .mis files and possibly do a bit more to recognize functions that are created in .gui files.

My attempt to contact him resulted in an e-mail message that the address was not accessible - whatever that means.

Anyway, I think I remember seeing someplace that he has dropped by the forums in the past. Perhaps he will come by again and take pity...

Thanks Paul...

I am hosting the 3.8 sources here ... If someone has 3.9 let's see it. The only change I see with 3.9 is:

Fixed - XP Theming was causing problems on Windows 95/98/NT/2000.

If I remember correctly aren't the sources written in Delphi?

I have the 3.9 source. If anybody wants to host it ... email me. :)

Alex

P.S.
Joshua. You want to host it? I can send it to you.

EDIT:
I've looked over the code and it seems that what I have is a 3.8 beta. Althought I distinctly remembered that it was a 3.9 and the zip file says so too.

I believe that what I have is a 3.9 ... its just that the developer forgot to update the readme file. :)

Heres the readme file for your perusal.

Whats New
---------
Open Sourced - I've released this version as open source. You can use the editor source for
anything you want, theres no specific licensing requirements. The IDE is written in Borland Delphi
( www.borland.com ) if you want to mess with the source. Thats a few gotchas with this as I
had used a couple of commercial components in previous versions. These being unziping support and
better handling of form docking. So these features are absent from this release. However I have added
XP theme support for Windows XP users and Office XP Styling for other Windows OS's, so at least it
looks pretty =D. The components your gonna have to get to compile it are listed below.

These three components sets for the newly added XP theme support

* Toolbar 2000 - http://www.toolbar2000.com/
* TBX - http://www.g32.org/tbx/
* ThemeManager - http://www.lischke-online.de/ThemeManager.html

Main Editor component

* SynEdit - http://synedit.sourceforge.net/
* The Tribes2/Torque highlighter is including in the source zip

Treeview type component

* ElTree Lite - http://www.torry.net/vcl/lvtv/enhancedtreeviews/eltreelite.zip

Combobox used in find dialogs

* TRegCombobox - http://www.torry.net/vcl/sizers/other/regcontrols.zip

Preferences Form Controls

* Colorgrid component - http://www.torry.net/vcl/grids/drawgrids/rcg.zip
* Outlook2000 - included with source zip
* FontSizeCombobox - http://www.torry.net/vcl/lbcb/fontlistandcomboboxes/svfntcmb.zip

As you can see i'm a component monkey, Happy downloading ;)

-------------------
Added - Open Sourced!

Added - Windows XP Theme Support

Added - Office XP style Toolbars


Beta 3.7 08-09-2001
-------------------
Fixed - current file functions was not updating correctly on file save

Fixed - If connection to debugging server was not disconnected via the IDE subsequant editing
woudl generate an exception

Fixed - double clicking of find in files messages would not always pick the correct file if there
were more than one file of the same name in the project

Fixed - compile and exec modified will now only compile and exec files which T2/Torque already has
running, these files have a green file icon next to them while in debugging mode. To compile
a file that is not currently running in T2/Torque right click on in in the project view and
click compile. If successfully compiled & execed it will have a green file icon next to it.

Hmm. I posted that I had made the sources available on here but it never showed up. The sources are in Delphi and also require that you obtain some third party Delphi tools.

In any event, the sources I received (Thank you again) are posted here.

And the source Alex sent me is right here: tork.zenkel.com/downloads/tools/tribal_source_3_9.zip

@SBM,
Just compared your files to mine - they are identical so there are now a couple of source locations for people to use...

I've also decided to part take in this hosting event and now people can get Tribal IDE 3.9 source as well at t2n.org/downloads/sourcecode/tribalide_source_3_9.zip

People won't have to fear my site going down I self host and never clean out my harddrives, lol! Enjoy :)

So is someone currently working on this ... or would someone mind if I posted this as a project on SourceForge ?
#18

No one would mind! Its nearly impossible to find. Go for it dude!

@HWassermann: Given that the TribalIDE source is already under the GPL, you're almost certainly right.

The only person that might theoretically have a problem is if the original author had some personal beef with the people at sourceforge (which doesn't seem likely).

Anybody know how to set this up to work with the torque engine? Maybe have some scripts that set up something to take the place of the tribes 2 server?
