looked at your custom thingy,

- you can't close and open {} functions /* */ comments etc xml-like + , -

- some things are green just like comments

- pragma and include not gold

anyway, why not use C++ highlighting?

btw, how do i use all that cs_const.txt cs_macro.txt etc things in notepad++ for syntacsys hints like in studio?

I've never used those and I'm not quite sure if we can't use that functionality in user defined syntaxes. You could try and search for how to add it.

Uh? What things. In my color scheme I have constants like PLUGIN_HANDLED as bold and green.

#pragma and #include are highlighted as they should be in mine. Do you want it like C++ syntax where the whole line is the color of the directive? If so, I don't know how to do that or if it's even possible.

It doesn't have AMX Mod X functions in it. I like my functions highlighted when they are included in AMX Mod X.

The .txt files are just lists of the words that I got from my script. You can use them how ever you want to create your own syntax highlighting scheme or do whatever you want with them (I don't know many other use for them ).

i've been using notepad++ for my AMXX scripting since i started it, so it's great to find you've created this highlighting scheme.
C++ highlighting was quite good already but having the functions highlighted as well is much better.

so thank you for this. will give karma as soon as i can

Are you using userDefineLang.xml as is or are you trying to modify the existing one?

[minimiller]

i only installed n++ yesterday and it didnt have 1 so i just whacked yours in the languages folder (i think)

[xOR]

i didn't have this file yet.
i am running windows 7, so i put it directly in C:\Users\x0R\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++

worked just fine for me.

oh appdata my bad

[fysiks]

%appdata%/Notepad++/ is the best place to put it.

btw speaking of notepad++ tuning: if you want to be able to start compiling your plugin directly from notepad++ by pressing F9 (as it is in AMXX/Pawn Studio and other IDEs) then do the following in npp:

• in main menu click Run and select Run...
• enter this command line:
  cmd.exe /k ""C:\Path\To\amxxpc.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" "-D$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)""
• click the Save... button
• enter a name (e.g. "AMXX compile")
• select F9 from the dropdown list or whatever hotkey you want
• click OK
• close the "Run" dialog
• enjoy compiling from npp by pressing F9

it is set so that the .amxx file is created in the same directory where the .sma file is. if you want a different output directory simply replace $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) with the directory you want it to be saved to.

i prepended cmd.exe /k so that the cmd box stays open and you can see possible compile errors. if you don't want that you have to remove the entire cmd.exe /k part from the command line and make single quotes (") out of the double quotes ("").

EDIT: updated the command to work with spaces in path names
