Version 0.3.7 is now available:
https://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/v ... 48&t=16014
Please note that you must install the
Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Redistributable before you attempt to run the Editor otherwise it will crash (prior versions of the Editor used the 2017 edition). You must install the
64-bit version (also known as vcredist_x64.exe).
The Redistributable can be downloaded here: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe
As set out in the changelist below, this release is largely a collection of tweaks and improvements rather than any ground-breaking new features. Most of my efforts are now concentrated on the new EHM Editor v2 which I would really like to release at some point later this year if I can (outside life permitting of course). Two changes I want to highlight are:
1. ROLLING SAVES: Similar to EHM, the Editor will now create rolling saves of your database. The default number of rolling saves is 3 but you can change this via the Settings screen (setting the number to zero will disable rolling saves). Each rolling save will have the file name "database[xxx].bak" where "[xxx]" will be an incremental three digit number. You can restore one of the rolling saves simply by renaming it to "database.db". Note that the Editor will delete any old rolling saves in the event the number of rolling saves exceeds the limit you set in the Settings screen. For example, if you have seven rolling saves and you set the limit to three in the Settings screen then the Editor will delete the four oldest rolling saves when you next save (and will then add new rolling save) - so just be careful if you decide to keep lots of spare rolling saves in the same folder as your main database file.
2. RULES & STRUCTURES: I have redesigned the Structures sub-screen in the hope this fixes some of the issues/crashes some users have encountered. The new design is a bit more clunky than I would like but hopefully it will do until Editor v2.
Special credit to
xECK29x as many of the bugs fixed were identified by him.
