Source:
The Project and Sourcecode is fully available on GitHub.
You are free to add issues or pull-requests.

Download:
Current Version: 1.2.0.2
You can Install the editor (Recommended) or download a standalone folder.
But the installer will also install file associations to *.sp an *.inc if you want.
The Program needs the .NET 4.5 Framework to work.

FAQ:
• I found a bug, where can i report it?
When your are able to recreate this bug, start the editor with the "-safe" argument. A crashlog will then be created after the editor crashed.
You can report a Bug here or just write me a pm or post into this thread here.

I want to suggest a feature. Where can i do this?
You could write a Github issue here. You could also write me an E-Mail to [email protected] or write me a PM.
What is .NET, C# or WPF?
.NET is a runtime used for the program to run on your computer. It's developed by microsoft.
C# (spoken: C-Sharp) is a programming language used to program SPEdit.
WPF is a part of .NET and is a technology of giving out content on your screen easily with help of your graphic-card. This allows a nice animated and fast Window (User Interface).
How can I set the installation directory and where is it by default?
The installation directory is hardcoded out of several reasons to %appdata% and cannot be changed. You can use the standalone folder if you want it to put it anywhere else.
How is the FTP password stored?
If you defined a FTP password, it is stored in the config file with 128bit AES encryption.
The Key for this encryption is generated when you first startup the editor with a 'Cryptographic Random Number Generator Service'. The key is stored in the options_0.dat. The key is salted internally with a hardware-specific generated salt so you could give away both files because the key only works on your computer. You should nevertheless don't do this obviously.
You can recreate the Key when you start the editor with the "-rcck" argument - your old passwords are invalid then.
Some parts of my code are highlighted strangely red.
The editor highlights per default deprecated 1.6 Syntax.
If you want to write with this Syntax nevermind, then just open the Options Window, go to 'Editor'
and uncheck "Highlight Deprecated (<1.6) Syntax"
Otherwise check out this site.
How can i close the compilerlog?
Press Escape.
"Auto Open Includes" does not work for me?!
The auto open include feature only opens includes, which are not located in the include directory.
This is, to prevent standart-sourcemod includes from opening. (Your custom includes shouldn't even be in there!)
If you have includes there and you want them to be opened, put them in another directory and change the include command accordingly.
When does the Linux/Mac version is comming?
Probably never. SPEdit cannot run in Linux/Mac because WPF isn't implemented in Wine/Mono.
So SPEdit is Windows only, and will (extremely likely) ever be.
What is planned in the future?
There is no Roadmap yet and since I'am mostly of the time busy studying, it wont come much in the near future. But some plans are already made.

How To:
Open Scripts:
When you installed the editor, you have many choices of how to open scripts.
You can open them via: double click on a script or include (if you associated the files), right click->'Edit Sourcepawn Script' (if you associated the files), Files->Open in the editor, Drag&Drop into the editor, start with commandline.

Syntaxhighlighting/Autocompletition/Intellisense:
Like said above, all informations for the three, are getting parsed from the include directory.
Where this directory is, is defined on your current loaded config.

Compiling/Copying/Serverstart/FTP upload:
You can compile all opened Scripts on F5. To just compile your current script, use F6.
Press F7 to manually copy all compiled files.
Press F8 to upload all compiled files to a FTP Server.
Press F9 to execute your server.
All actions/directorys/addresses/credentials are defined in the current loaded config.

Configs:
The configs are a main part in SPEdit. They control, how the whole compiling process works.
The SPEdit comes per default with three configs. (SM 1.7, SM 1.7 with SMLib 0.9.7 and SM 1.6).
They can simply be loaded by clicking on them in the 'configurations' menu. You can also edit them
easily or create new ones/delete old ones.
It's recommended, that you create own configs for big projects with their own include directory.

Changelog:

I'd also love to get feedback.
Hope, you like it.
