[TOOLS] Notepad++ Auto-completion/Inline Docs/Syntax Highlighting
 

2010-5-26
Updated Notepad++ UserDefinedLang.xml (right click > Save As)


I do a majority of my programming in Visual Studio and I'm starting to write scripts for my server and sought to replicate that environment. With pawn studio no longer being/no longer fully functional, and not enough time to code a language service for Visual Studio I have mimicked the functionality in Notepad++

A picture probably demonstrates this best:

Important: There are issues with the latest version of notepad++, this was developed and tested with the 5.1.X version. Later versions have an issue that won't expand functions with long descriptions try SetHudTextParams( to test with your version. I haven't pinpointed the version this starts occurring, input is appreciated.

A few notes:
-Installation instructions are in the readme.txt in the zip
-I have nothing to do with notepad++ itself and the auto-completion functionality isn't super reliable.
-In generating the inline docs I set the word wrap arbitrarily, and I run on a fairly high resolution (1920x1200) if this is an issue for enough people I can make another version.
-If notepad++ crashes there is a good chance the preferences for the auto-completion got reset, just reapply them.
-Feel free to recolor the syntax and redistribute with credit

Thanks to CShadowRun and devicenull

Brilliant!

Would this have hotkeys to build by any chance? Would be nice :). Using Pawn Studio right now but it crashes a lot.

Wow, awesome.

Shouldn't be a problem, if you go to the Run menu you can do a run command like

YourPathHere\spcomp.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

Then you can just save it and assign a hotkey. Here is the docs on that: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/run-HOWTO.php I'm also thinking about making a small program to automate play testing a bit, like compile/check/upload/replace with backup/rcon sm reload or something.

Fantastically helpful. Thanks!

This'll definitely lower bandwidth usage from me on the "Script Functions" portion of this site. :)
