ConfigNode - Brain is not cooperating...

[Gaalidas]

Ah, in that case, I could be mistaken then. I am not quite as familiar with all of this than the veteran programmer. I simply made the assumption that you were talking about the entire package (editing environment and compiler together).

I think the point I'm trying to make is that in my recent posts (other than the ones in response to you) were leaning in the direction of "all seems good for the time being" and so I really don't think I actually need much more help at this time... (subject to change at any moment if my brain starts failing me again... stupid brain. I want a refund.. it's definitely not as smart as the one advertised.)

I'm using the software provided by the SharpDevelop people. If the case is that the compiler is a Visual Studio equivalent, or even the exact same compiler, then I apologize for my error. I believe I may have simply taken a little bit of offense to your apparent ignorance of what forms of software for doing this sort of development are available. I believe that was an error on my part, especially considering your reputation around here which would suggest you are quite intelligent. Maybe even intelligent enough for sentience. (I jest here.)

Still, I was not posting anything of the sort, as you are suggesting, a "it does not work" message. Yes, that is the overall message, but I do not just post a "help, I won't tell you what's wrong, but you gotta fix it!!!" I would rather my PC melt in front of me, taking my legs with it, than go back to my pre-competent-geek days. Those were dark times.

Also, soem confusion might have been produced given the little known fact that I've been working with lo-fi for a while now on his Kerbal Foundries mod, and thus my comment about "asking for trouble" may not have hit the same "familiarity" level of communication with the rest of you whom I've had less experience working with.

EDIT: I also have the unfortunate tendency to take offense to someone saying that "I'm doing something wrong" when I've been reporting back that I have done what is suggested and instructed, plus a number of things that could solve the problem, which have all been failing me. Anyway, it's an unfortunate personality flaw I'm afraid.

Oh, thanks you ! I did not knew about SharpDevelop before.

[Gaalidas]

Well, I definitely like it... beyond these issues I'm having that is. I'm getting top grades in my classes due in aprt to it's rather helpful suggestions. Of course, I have no experience with Visual Studio or Monodevelop in this sort of stuff. The last time I dabbled in programming was back in the VB6 days, before .net had any momentum.

[sarbian]

Well, I ll ease up on the sarcasm now.

Yes, SharpDevelop is great. The UI is well made and it has a lot of refactoring and error detection tool that are nearly at the level of commercial tools like Resharper. But if you have problems compiling in 3.5 with it I would either switch to Monodevelop (since it uses mono, so you are not dependent on .NET 3.5 instalation) or configure SharpDevelop to use mono.

Okay, I think we need a sarcasm sign now. I wasn't sure what you were meaning at all. Come to think of it, I don't get that stuff right off the bat in the real world either. Must be my autistic side.

You think I'm kidding, right? Wrong, I've got a little bit of autism... it can be fun sometimes, and irritating teh rest of the time. What really sucks though is that I'm not autistic enough to be oblivious to the oddities I have, so I can annoy myself without even trying.

Configuring sharpdevelop to use mono... holy -snipped kerbal expletives and colorful metaphors- that's exactly what I was thinking about last night. I was thinking it would be awesome if that could be configured. I worry about one thing though (well, okay, hundreds of things, but that's due to an anxiety disorder and not related to this question) moving on... one thing I worry about: will I need to change how the code works for it to be compatible with Mono?

Also, I'm going to have to see if this method works with the more recent released on SharpDevelop, there are annoying bugs with the older versions that I can't go back to.

Totally unrelated, the people around me right now are talking about a disease that shares a name with this stuff... adn the guy to my left is cracking mono puns over and over...and he's not even the pun master of the choir. People are sick... but entertaining.

EDIT: Okay, this is starting to seriously .... me off. I just followed the instructions on how to set up SharpDevelop to use Mono, installing Mono first and then compiling the sample plugin and getting the Mono entries into the "new solution" menu and what happens when the little feedback console comes up? I get greeted with "Mono is not installed." Yes it is you stupid program, I just did that!

EDIT2: what the bleep? It replaced the word for what you do when you use the toilet, the liquid format, in the above sentence. It's a perfectly valid bodily function for the love of.. -sigh-
