Full Version: MoI node editor for beginner

Show messages:  1  2-21  22-41  42-54

Here's a PDF combining all the help pages I've found, organized linearly. This is very raw as page breaks happen in unexpected places but it does the job of putting everything in one place as opposed to having to click many links. I quickly removed as much fluff as possible (like the repeating groups of links), hopefully without accidentally removing something important. Let me know if I forgot a page or some important ressource.

And a source .ODG if anyone is brave enough to get in there and sort the layout :D

It would be interesting to also add some of the images and node networks by @Nodeology, so if anyone as them downloaded already let me know and I'll add them. Or, feel free to add them yourself and re-host.

Best,

P.O.

Hi pior,

Thank you for your work.

For 3840 X 2160 display resolution, the Font is way too small for myself. Zooming in does not help much.

Is there an easier Font to read? I dislike the Font, but do not know which font would be better.

Never used .odg file format. Loaded Libre Office, which promptly crashed on the .odg file...
I've never used Libre Office before...
Is there a better XML editor?
Is there an XSLT stylesheet for the XML document?

Cool work with my base Elephant Node Editor site! ;)

Brian, WM : FWIW it was generated by simply performing a "print to PDF" on all the individual web pages, then stitched together using GiosPDFSM, and then basic edits were done in LibreOffice. All that to say that I didn't do anything about font size and left it all as it was, since styling is less important than content :)

As for sources of inspiration for visual styling, the UE4 Blueprint Compendiums mentionned earlier would probably be a good starting point ; as well as any PDF export from any documentation site made with ReadTheDocs. Here's an example : https://docs.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/
(I personally strongly dislike ReadTheDocs when it comes to *writing* documention, it's just painful and annoying. But the output itself is really quite clean visually.)

As for opening the .ODG : on my end I am using LibreOffice 7.2.7.2.

FP : no problemo, I needed to do it anyways in order to be able to parse through it all without losing my sanity :D Great work again on all the examples, it looks like everything is well covered really.

Thank you, pior, for the explanations. (And WM as well.)
My past attempts to use MS Word for anything have been very unfruitful, and very awkward.

Hi mike,

re:

Can you maybe describe a bit more about what problem you're seeing?

Is it that the CustomUI "NodeEdit" button is showing a blank window?

Hi mike,

re:

Do you possibly have the .zip file name in the path?

Like nodeeditor_1\nodeeditor\index.htm ?

If so then it won't find it because it's looking for

moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html

and you've instead got

moi://appdata/nodeeditor_1/nodeeditor/index.html

If that isn't it please show a screenshot of where you have it installed to.

here is my screenshot

Hi mike, that sure looks correct.

I think maybe that nodeeditor might be an old version from moi v3 that is expecting to be put in the "c:\Program Files" install folder instead of in appdata.

Try with this one instead:
