There is a far better tool i develloped in the meantime, please check out the new SGL Editor!


The SGL Editor is a program which helps developing storyboards, especially, but not only, very complex ones like Nightcore - Jump Jump.

SGL stands for Storyboard Generation Language, a scripting language which orients itself towards the Java syntax. It offers great features in order to make storyboarding as easy, but also as powerful as possible. Here are some things that are realised by now:
  1. (Global) variables, if-conditions, loops
  2. Creating own methods
  3. Creating/making things randomly
A complete documentation of all SGL features, along with examples and a tutorial can be found here: https://github.com/MoonShade/sgl-Editor/wiki

Download: Mediafire (1,33 MB)

Watch the SGL Demo-Video on Youtube!

Screenshots






Sourcecode: Github

Issue Tracking: Github or via E-Mail (osbe.issues@googlemail.com)

Please keep in mind that I tested the program with some scripts, but it's still beta, so errors may occur.

I think and I hope, that this program can help many storyboarders. Please let me know what could be done better and report errors.

Thank you

Known Issues:
Maybe a bug on saving files. Please check if the tool saves your file the first time, and doesn't only create an empty file.

Changelog Beta 3
  1. It's possible to create Animations now, this works like this: 
    Animation light = new Animation("light.png",Foreground,Centre,60,80,LoopForever)
    Note that the 1. number is the frameCount and the second is the frameDelay

  2. Added support for flips and additive blends, whatever that is... 
    pic.fliph(0,1000)
    pic.flipv(0,1000)
    pic.blenda(0,1000)
  3. Added support for trigger loops. 
    pic.startTriggerLoop(HitSoundClap,0,1000)
    ...
    pic.endLoop()
  4. Replaced the dialog window which appeared if the generation succeeded with a status message.

Pity I wasn't consulted before this was started so it could be written in c# and actually integrated with osu!/osq. Seems like such a waste.

looks like a sick tool regardless (cause running inside osu validates using it???)

I have a feeling you are misunderstanding what I said.

Well it can be bundled with osu if it's good enough? It'd be a waste to let it be unknown to the general public cause not a lot of people actually visit this part of the forum and I can feel a lot of work was put in this.

This hole syntax highlighing, code completition and stuff are just base on open source librarys for java, I don't think that would work that nice in C# (but then again I'm not sure about this...). What's left is the interpreter.
Then again, I couldn't work with osq cause it was so poorly documented in stragers blog, so I decided to create my own language and try to document it well, so that others can use it for their projects. I don't think this is a waste at all, as long as it can help people with their storyboard.

Hm, would it be better if this thread would be in the storyboarding forum? I was unsure about that...

Okay, let me expand because it seems I was not clear enough:

This looks awesome, and a lot better constructed than osq. Therefore I would love to see it integrated with osu!. Unfortunately, because I was not consulted beforehand (although I have previously asked publicly for anyone willing to create a storyboard editor exactly like this and had no response) a lot of effort has been wasted to make a sub-optimal product.

If you are inclined, you should definitely try and port it over to c#, as I will consider it for integration if this happens. You should be able to find similar levels of library availability for editor/syntax highlighting functionality, if not more.

I see, so it looks like I have to deal with C# :D

I will try to do it, but I have to get used to this language first.

Well you can ask a mod to move it there I guess?

C# is pretty close, I moved from C# to Java without any trouble (however c non-java languages are stricter with data types)

Looks pretty great

Aqua just told me that there might be an issue on saving files. Please check if the tool saves your files the first time, and not only creates a .sgl file with no content. (On my computer, this doesn't happen at all)

I will have this in the C# application, I think. Meanwhile, have this little update:

This somehow completes the support for storyboard specifications. I hope you'll like it :)

You just necroposted to a thread that is 3 years old...

The new version of SGL can be found here: t/118733

The code and everything is linked there and open for you to extend. Explanations of how I did the parsing is also in a post there somewhere.

osu! uses C#/.net 2.0 if that's what you were asking.
