Can I compile a file without setting as main?

Yes, there is a setting called MainPathCompilation which turns that one or off.
If set to false, the current .sp file will be compiled, ignoring the MainPath file.

Love this extension; use it exclusively for large multi-file plugins. However...

Some documentation into the options / configuration settings would be helpful. Some examples..

1)
What does "encoding" affect? Why would there be an option for that in the FTP settings?

Sourcepawn: Source Server Options
Options for the Source server to refresh the plugins on.

"sourcepawn.SourceServerOptions": {
    
        "host": "",
        "port": 27015,
        "encoding": "ascii",
        "timeout": 1000,
        "password": ""
    }

2)

a) If I have my plugins compiled to the desktop, I assume it only syncs the compiled plugin file and not all my desktop files?
b) What are the deleteRemote and forcePasv used for?
c) Why is there a "host", "port", and "password" option in these settings, when the "SourceServerOptions" options had those two settings as well? (I assume it's duplicate info for refreshing plugins / uploading plugins).

Sourcepawn: Upload Options
Upload options for the FTP/SFTP client.


"sourcepawn.UploadOptions": {
    
        "user": "",
        "password": "",
        "host": "",
        "port": 21,
        "localRoot": "",
        "remoteRoot": "/public_html/remote-folder/",
        "include": [
            "**"
        ],
        "exclude": [
            "scripting/**/",
            ".vscode/**/",
            ".github/**/",
            ".gitignore",
            "*.md",
            ".git"
        ],
        "deleteRemote": false,
        "forcePasv": true,
        "sftp": false
    }

There's some more examples. For instance I had to DM you to figure out that you needed to include "spcomp.exe" in the path extension for this setting:

Sourcepawn: Spcomp Path
The location of the SourceMod compiler

I'd be willing to help out and clarify anything that seems ambiguous. I love using your extension so I think spending time to properly document all the settings is the way to go.

Thanks you for your interest

1) I will be honest, I don't know what the encoding is for in the rcon options. It's used in the node.js package I use, not sure why. Link to the docs.

2)
Here is the doc to the FTP uploader: ftp deploy
a)
It will upload everything in the Desktop yes, except for scripting, .vscode, etc You can change that in the include settings
b)Details in the docs above
c)RCON passwords/hosts and SFTP passwords/hosts are usually not the same, so it's useful to be able to separate the two. This can be redundant if you use the same credentials.


I have started writing some proper documentation, it is available here.

Is it possible to add this option which is in SP Code?

Hmm there is already a formatter bundled with the extension, what does this feature do exactly?

For some reason highlighting works but no autocompletion
It worked in past but not now (IDK why)
Paths set up correctly I guess (plugins are compiling)
Also this on extension page https://i.imgur.com/3Ad0QFn.png
IDK why

UPD: reinstalling windows fixed it
(I did that because of other problems aswell but yes it does fix that, now using ltsc 1809)
