[REQUEST] Add new tools to C2

Hello,

I know that the "to do" list of C2 is full and there are more important things, but I ask anyway...

It would be great to have the opportunity to insert in the C2 menu a custom button that starts an external program (made by me). Then, the program can access to some simple C2 informations, for example what project is currently opened.

In this way, I could realize small softwares to extend the C2 capabilities. For example, an image editor (like Photoshop), a particular exporter, etc.., that I can start directly in C2 and work directly with the opened project (edit its image or sound files, etc).

It could be possible?

Thanx,

Steven

An internal image editor is already on the to-do list i believe, as well as other exporters (the exe exporter is already being tested!)

C2 is a game maker, not image or sound editor. You -will- need supporting software to use it

The EXE wrapper.

Hello,

maybe I did not explain well, sorry for my English ...

"Image or sound editor," "exporters", etc.., were just the first examples that came to my mind, but I did not mean that I need an image editor or an exporter.

I asked if I could put a custom button in the C2 menu to launch an external program created by me, that can access to simple C2 infos like, for example, the opened project. So if I need a tool that in C2 is not there and there never will be, I can create it independently.

I think you should have a look at the blog article about C2's architecture and reformulate your idea again.

Ok,

I try with a concrete example.

I have created a software that convert a C2 project in an Android App ready to be tested in any Android device, without use PhoneGap, AppMobi or the C2 exporters.

Now, I would like to have a new button in the C2 menu that launch my software. When my software starts it detects that in C2 there is an opened project, named "MyGame" and that all files are in "c:\c2projects\MyGame\". So my software can automatically takes the necessary files from "c:\c2projects\MyGame\" and prepare the test Android App. All this directly from C2.

Whoa, have you really made an android exporter, or do you mean 'if' you made one?

If you HAVE made one, how does it work? Does it generate native android apps or is it a HTML5 wrapper the same way phonegap and appmobi are? And are you going to release it to the community? :D

Hello Arima,

if there will be the possibility to do what I've requested I could think to make the android exporter real (in my previous post it was a fake, sorry).
