Auto-Completion and colour highlighting for Notepad++

[Aneirin]

Hey there,

I had a bit of spare time during last week, so I've created a custom language in notepad++,
along with the according auto-suggesting xml file.

Well, if someone says now, 'hold on, there is already one', yes, that's right.
A couple of years ago made by GrnEyedDvl click here!

Here are two screenshots to give you a certain impression.

Note:
I strongly recommend to set your design to "blackboard" for most effective contrast (settings -> style configurator... ->design)
Also, the colour highlighting works only for the campaign_script and descr_strat properly!
Hopefully I'll have enough time to add the other files, as well.

How to install:

For those of you who don't have Notepad++ yet... should download it right now..
Notepad++ Download

All right, first of all extract the rar file to your Desktop or your any other desired destination.
The rar file contains to xml files, named "MTWII - Script" & "TW_MEDII_SC".
What you have to do now is to copy the "TW_MEDII_SC" into your notepad++ APIs folder. Have a look at the picture below for the exact destination.

So next step is to import the remaining file "MTWII - Script" into your notepad++.
That is how we do it.
Open notepad++, go to languages -> user defined languages and click the import button.

Now navigate to the path of the "MTWII - Script" file and press "open".

If everything goes well, the language should now be displayed as shown in the picture below.

After you have closed and reopened notepad++ go again to languages and tadada! a new script language is now available.

Notes:
Here are two additional notes on adding the language to notepad++.

1. Change the design to "Blackboard" for a more effective contrast.
2. Be sure that you have auto-completion enabled! Settings -> Preferences -> Auto-Completion -> Enable auto-completion.
Otherwise it won't work properly.

In case any errors should occur during use or installation, please let me know!
Of course this "first release" is far from being perfect,
so if you have any suggestions just post them here!


Happy modding,

Ned

As someone who used to do a bit of modding via notepad back in the day this is more than wellcome. Thank you so much!

[Aneirin]

Not at all!

Looks promising and useful. I look forward to see the implementation of the other files. That would make it perfect

[Aneirin]

Actually, I had the idea to create a complete integrated development environment for scripting,
since I am studying a kind of computer science it would be quite fun.
But we'll see

Edit: Well, but there is already one... again, is it not?

Great work Neadal! I'm going to try and see how it works. I think it's a very interesting tool.

[Aneirin]

Hello Uncle Aneirin, I was going to re-download this, but it appears your link is dead.

I'll have a look, if I can find it somewhere
