hello,

Does BAJA has a coding IDE such as wcbasic for wildcat, mde for mystic and Powerppl for pcboard. Used to run Pcboard since 1993 and i moved
yesterday to synchronet. I discovered it is not easy to get coding in
baja as in other bbs packages. I believe if there comes a good baja GUI releases for synchronet mods will increase heavily. I member in two modding groups called dementia and food, both released hundreds of mods but no synchronet stuff... we can make a differents..

Hoping someone with the skills wanted to code the GUI for Baja (ide), I can help whereever possible (making the help topics or something)...

Ok please let me know,
Regards Martigan (COD Leader/Dementia/f00d)

IMHO JavaScript is the future of synchronet modding... there are several editors that do syntax highlighting for .js files, and syntax tabbing.. a free one that I like is Crimson Editor... a very good text editor for multiple text files, basic syntax highlighting is there.. some other things... for some reason an older version cap'd "system" to "System" I got around this by defining var System = eval("s" + "ystem");

This isn't saying that Baja will be removed, simply that moving forward, in my opinion, javascript will become the format of choice for modders.. drop in for a visit here, the login matrix, the oneliners, the ctrl-p/ctrl-u are all in javascript.. once I get the last parts of ctrl-p done, will proceed with a completely lightbar menu set in js..

Ok please let me know,

:) need any modders for synchro, would be happy to participate.

I don't think the time to create one would be warranted. Javascript is probably the future of Synchronet mod'ing, and BAJA has some limitations that make it more of a legacy language.

There is already plenty of JS editors out there, so I would start thinking about looking into doing some JS mod'ing.

BAJA is surprisingly simple and fairly powerful, but the scope of Synchronet today has introduced a need for a more powerful language like JS.

I'm new to JS... (but know my way around C++ pretty well, it looks similar).. what editor (free / share) do you recommend?

Damn.. I was starting to love baja :) (save for the fact that I kept forgetting NOT to place a ; at eol :)

I use one called ConTEXT, and it's freeware. Pretty decent and supports tons of languages with syntax highlighting. JS and C++ are very similar.

thanks, but no thanks. i think i'll stick with baja for all of my modding needs. while i think its great and all that synchronet supports javascript, i have absolutely no interest in going there.

Well, I've managed to do quite a bit with JS so far, that I wouldn't
even begin to try with Baja...
