[Utility] Scrive 5.0 Alpha out now!

[formlesstree4]

When you download Scrive 4.5 Release 4, you might notice something different. The Organizer is no longer part of the program!

It is its own separate program, which means I can release the source code to you guys, meaning you can compile your own version
of the Organizer! Now, we do have a few rules about the source code:

1. The source code must be distributed with any Compiled release you make.
2. Original Credit for the Organizer must go to:
2a. formlesstree4(me): For the Coding
2b. RMXPirate: For the GUI

The Source Code is free for anyone to use or examine. I hope to inspire some people to help out with Scrive, or gather more users.
Maybe one day we'll release the source of Scrive 4.5, you guys would love that

Anyway, download links!

Hello everyone! Just thought I would keep you posted on scrive!

For those who don't want to read it al and just want the jyst of things:

Spoiler

- Were working on scrive 5.0 it will have online and offline capabilities
- We have our newest programmer working on 4.5 for you guys so we can keep that up to date while were working hard on 5.0
- 4.5 will now have save and save as options.
- All scripts will be back in 4.5 including some new ones!!
- Look for 5.0 alpha soon! It will have a few new features but dont expect too much until 5.0 full which will be stock full of new features!!
- 5.0 will be the last in the series of scrive for a long time so we may work on getting scripts in scrive now. We are working hard on 5.0 to make it the best it can be and even adding user ideas into the program!

Updates:
We are in the works on Scrive 5.0! Scrive 5.0 will be both offline and online for those who do not have a internet connection or have a slow connection.

Any who we have been working hard on 5.0 and have had very little time for 4.5. But rest assured we have out our new programmer to the test!! He is working on the newest update for 4.5!

In this update will be a new save and save as option. Save will simply save the script in the my documents/scrive/scripts directory for like: Script Name - Author.rtf(.rtf makes it more compatible with the scripts). And im sure you can guess what the save as option is.

This update will also include all scripts and new ones! Since the database crash happened back in version 4.4 release 4 we lost most the VX scripts in the database. Those will all be back in 4.5 along with a few new scripts!

As for the future of scrive! Look out for 5.0 alpha coming to you guys soon! It will be packed full of new features once 5.0 Full is release but for the alpha just expect something small and a few new features :D. Also Scrive 5.0 will be the last in the series for a long while so we can finally work on getting scripts in scrive. That is why 5.0 is taking so long is because we are working hard on making it the best it can be with as many features as possible and even user suggested features!!

Thanks for taking the time to read this post,

RMXPirate.

Scrive 5.0 Has Arrived!!!
Well its Alpha stage has :D

It is here everyone! With all our hard effort we have finally been able to get a stable enough version of 5.0 for you!! We will call this release 5.0 Alpha simply because its no where close to done and it is a bit buggy. It has the basic Scrive features and a few new ones. When I say few I mean few! You can see the features in the feature tab below. Do not expect much but Scrive 5.0 is a new milestone for Scrive!

Download link to Alpha 1: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2yc5iy55zym

Spoiler: Screenshots

NOTE: All Icons, background images(Red yellow etc all those), Splash screen images pretty much anything that is from 4.5 are temporary new ones are in the makings!!

Main form:

Form with new drop down menu:

Main form with different style(4 styles to choose from*** Styles are different then backgrounds you still have the 6 backgrounds you can choose)

New save option save successful prompt:

Spoiler: Features in Scrive 5.0 Alpha

NOTE: Some things you see in the alpha may be enabled but do nothing! This is because those features are not suppose to be enabled just leave it be :D. Colors is one of those too we are waiting on the new backgrounds before we add that in![/b]

NEW GUI!! - If you havent looked at the screenshots look, im sure you will be amazed!! With 5.0 comes a new GUI. With the new GUI will come new backgrounds, a new icon, new save icons etc. All the icons in there now are temporary.

Online Mode - We kept the online function from 4.0 series so you guys dont have to download updates every script we add. As of now online functions do not work with 5.0 but you can experience the offline version of scrive!!

Offline Mode- With scrive 5.0 comes offline or online capabilities no need for you to do anything either!

Automatically detects connection - That is right Scrive 5.0 automatically detects if your connected to the net if you arent will go to offline mode for you, if you are then online mode it is! You can then chose to use online or offline mode as you please.

Save and Save as Option - Save will simply save the script in the my documents/scrive/scripts directory for like: Script Name - Author.rtf(.rtf makes it more compatible with the scripts). And im sure you can guess what the save as option is.

Spoiler: Planned 5.0 Features

Here are more ideas were planning on putting in 5.0 including a user created feature!! Not all these features may be added but they were all thought about!

New Program Icons - New EXE Icon and Icons for like save, save as etc...

Automatic updates - We kept the auto updates dont worry! Alpha doesnt include the auto updates since its only alpha and there is no need for it as of now. The updates form is being constantly updated and rewritten to make it the best possible!

Tip of the day - Like many programs of this type a tip will pop up every time you start scrive. The tip will change every time you start Scrive. Dont worry you can disable it in the settings!!

Search - Were bringing back search!! I bet you wondered where did it go in 4.0?! 3.0 had it then bam it was gone. Well among the addition of search comes advanced Search!!

Advanced Search(User submitted idea** May be possible) - Well we all know the search function in 3.0 was a bit on the down side but on 5.0 it will be better with the addition of advanced search! Basically this will allow users to filter search results. EG. SDK required scripts non sdk required scripts, Script Type Filter and more!

- And more that is all I will tell you for now though :P

Spoiler: RMXP Unlimited Partnership!

Upon the release of Scrive 5.0 you will notice something new! The copyright says RMXP Unlimited, that's weird isn't it?! Scrive is now apart of RMXP Unlimited. We will add many features for RMXP Unlimited but it will still be a public based program. This means anyone can use it but still RMXP Unlimited features will be inside. I dont want to get into too much detail without knowing what Marked wants me to give out on the partnership with scrive but I will tell you this. Adding script will never be easier for RMXP Unlimited users!

RMXP Unlimited Features in Alpha:
(Not much will be more)

Changed the copyrights to RMXP Unlimited
Added Marked to credits

ENJOY 5.0 ALPHA 1!!

Thanks,

RMXPirate

I tried the newest one and it won't even open for me, gives me an error and shuts off because of some weird crap. i'll talk to what's his butt again though.

 

[Kiriashi]

..?


"weird crap"
Please elaborate. :cute:

 

[KDawg08]

it was giving me errors for bug reports etc, in the end it was a file i had to download to get 5.0 and up to work as it's got a new file/system or some crap that is required on all systems.

Here is a link for it in case anyone else has the same issues.

Got some good & bad news for you Scrive users (if you are out there). Official Scrive development has halted, and I probably won't be providing any support for Scrive (the Organizer or Online Version) anymore.

The reason is because RMXP Pool & Scrive are merging together. More information will follow, but for now, all Scrive activity has halted and development has been stopped. Check back here often if you're interested, as I'll be posting more information.
