Pseudo Code Repository on Google Drive Posted byPhanjamon 23 Dec, 2014 00:58
I just found this app Drive Notepad which you can "connect" to your google drive as the default editor for text files.
"So what?!" you say...
Well, you can edit any text-based file in your google drive without having to download it to your PC; it will just open a new tab in your browser and you can edit away.
Then, if you're keeping your mod files in google drive folders that you've shared with teammates and you're all using this Drive Notepad app, it's kind of like having a low-tech shared code repository (low-tech being important to the non-programmers, like me ). No versioning feature though...
I just think it's a neat extension of the "collaboration" idea behind sites like Torchmodders.
Okay I just found another google drive compatible app that can serve as your online editor for text-based files in google drive, called Anyfile Notepad.
So what's different vs. Drive Notepad I talked about earlier? Drive Notepad has to recognize the filetype you want to open and then it becomes the default app to open that file. The ".DAT" files of TL aren't recognized, so you have to convert them all to .TXT and then put them in your Google Drive.
With Anyfile Notepad, you can upload your .DAT (or any) file, just right-click on it and Anyfile Notepad shows as one of the app options to open that file with (Drive Notepad will only show if it recognizes the filetype). Also, Anyfile Notepad doesn't try to be the default app for anything; it's content to just be an option
). No versioning feature though...
