ahoi!

Its possible to start the game in the editor with F5. Would it be possible to add this shortcut to stop the game if the game is started from the editor?

In the container-tab there are the checkboxes 'is open' and 'can be opened'. Is it possible to add 'is locked' and 'can be unlocked' and perhaps a new list 'unlock with' next to it where you can choose the object which unlocks the container?

Its possible to edit the walkthrough now. Do you have plans to expand the functionality? For example to create walkthroughs automatically by recording the input of the player and ex- and importing walkthroughs. This would be fine for bugreporting.

Keyboard shortcut - good idea. I think Ctrl+F4 is the best choice as that's usually close window, close tab etc. I've just checked in this change.

Lockable containers - should be easy to implement in the Core library. Added to the issue tracker: http://quest.codeplex.com/workitem/659

Recordable walkthrough - I think this is a good idea. Added to the issue tracker: http://quest.codeplex.com/workitem/660

I've assigned both of these to Beta 2 as I'm looking to tidy up what exists already for Beta 1, which I'll release within the next week.

Keep those requests coming!

Hmm, I would prefer just F5. I can't press Ctrl+F4 with one hand, so it takes "too long" to leave the mouse, press the keys, take the mouse and on. No, then I will use the mouse to quit the game.

There is another thing. You can change e.g. coreDescription.aslx and put it into the directory of your game. Q5 will take this modified Aslx when starting the game. Now I want to change jjmenu.css to change the popupmenu for verbs. This file will not be taken from the game-directory. playercore.css could be a second file, you want to change. Perhaps its possible to change this?

You can also type "quit" to return to the editor.

For overriding CSS, maybe we need to implement a similar system as we currently have for JS files, then you can override existing CSS elements in your own CSS file.

when starting Q5 you get the Play-Tab with recent games and the Edit-Tab with the last edited games. It would be nice to have a button to clear this lists.

In the codeview there should be a search and a replace-functionality (Crtl-F)

Hi Alex, I think, you will release the next Beta soon. Could you please add a random-function to this version? This would be fine :D

Beta 2 should be out in the next few days. I'll add a random number feature just for you :)
