Hi Burr,

Your MoI4 sidepane modification is just right.

Note to others: The change is located at line 143 +/- of MoI4 sidepane.htm file, replacing pre-existing spaceholders td and /td.
Below History, as per Burr.
Windows 10 or 11, MoI4 files located below program files directory.

The moi_ref file now located in appdata directory.

For my version, I changed the name of the flask Icon from dmorrill.png to API_Icon.png, and the flask command button name from JavaScript ref to API ref. spacesaving
Totally unnecessary changes. Burr's code is just fine.

Burr's API modification works fine in MoI 5 beta, May 22, 2022.

It took about 2 minutes to copy the Icon, and modify the MoI 5 beta sidepane htm file (line 143 in notepad++).

AppData was already set up for the mod.

I wonder what sort of editor was used by D Morrill to create the API?

@Jeff - No worries. You're welcome

Brian,
David explained he wrote a script which extracted the data from the IDL (Then hand supplemented it to be more robust). My guess is he was such a heavy programmer, he just wrote it to do a "toc" setup with jQuery at some level to create the page. Whether he did it with the UI stuff or just all code, is unknown.

To be clear, this is all Davids work. I just grabbed it for local consumption back when he created it.

Because his site is defunct and Max's mirror has been taken from us, I shared it here.

Frenchy should copy the file and document this on his weebly also!!!

All that is very complex for me! :)

In any case I change the Max Links and put this API (Burrman) again in case of! :)
In a very rustic way before remake all your elaborate refinements!

+Moi's IDL (there no date on top page ? so this idl is for what version of MOI ?

https://moiscript.weebly.com/api-de-moi.html


And i must edit also the page of the French wiki...some headaches in perspective! :)

Hi Frenchy,
I wouldn't edit all your existing stuff.

Lets stay hopeful that Max returns!

This is the "offline version" from max's mirror. The original discussion was Brian and Max back when Max mirrored Davids docs....

So just a link to the post with an "offline version" tag, can help anyone that wants it...

Hello All,

I have utterly unrelated question, so I apologize in advance!

Who was David C Morrill? And what happened to him?

Also I heard Max is back (but I cannot confirm it) is this info correct?

and a question for @Michael ;

With your help Sir; I shifted "Objects", "Types" and "Styles" tabs to the left side Is it possible for me to have Burr's Snapshot of David C Morrill there?

I am asking in advance before messing things up!

Drillbit,
The DMorrill documentation is a little outdated and was generated back in v3

Peer Pressure has worked on updating it and may be a better ref for you to add and use…

Do you mean having David Morrill's script documentation embedded in a pane inside the program UI?

If so then I wouldn't recommend that - I don't think the documentation has been formatted with the intention to be read in a narrow pane, it's better to view it in a separate web browser window.

- Michael

I have Google searched for him several times in the last few years, without any non-old results, so one can draw his own conclusion probabilities. There are, or were, half a dozen people in the US with said name. Maybe there is a former associate with info?
- Brian

i believe, this could be him/his work. same look&feel as that MoI api documentation...plus rather complex and thought-out.

i guess he somewhat retired and moved to the villages...

So he really walked into the sunset!

Hi Michael,

Ok, I won't do that!
