Показать описание
You now can have GameMaker automatically use an external editor like Aseprite for sprites! Mostly.

Didn't see it explained very detailed in the release notes, but you can now also define an option for opening included files (in the same Paths section of Preferences), which you can either set as "External editor" (which lets you double-click an included file to "run" it like you would in the Windows File Explorer, using the default file associations) or "Script editor" (which apparently tries to open txt files in a script window - couldn't get it to work) or the default "Properties" which just opens the previously available Properties window for the included file. I set it to "External editor", I think this is super useful (I can double click JSON files to edit them in Notepad++ and run EXE files like the GMLive server file directly, etc.).

GameMaker could really wait a bit in this new feature
I love your videos!

7 months later and you still cant open multiple sprites with the editor. Maybe one day we can have an efficient workflow in GMS 2.

Thanks for the vid Dragonite! I was super excited to hear about this feature but with the way it is programmed right now it is basically useless. I really hope they improve this feature over time.

I remember such a thing was in GMS 1, but I never used it and thought all the time that it was already in GMS 2

The feature is quite bad. The sprite can be opened with external editor but other things like layers or frames are not working. So, actually it's useless.

Hmm in this state this feature is rather useless in my opinion. the latest update sadly broke all my particle FX in the game or better said they broke the clean up of them.
