I'm really interested in knowing what people are using to ease their scripting experience for the A2 engine. The idea really crossed my mind after Worldeater pointed out, in another thread, that he used
Log Expert to make use of the RPT file significantly easier.
What would be good is if people can post what they use, a short description, and any relevant links (e.g. to a software download, or to a download for a syntax highlight file, etc.). I'll go first:
- EditPlus - I've used this for years, now, for any development (SQF or otherwise) for which I don't have/need/want a complete IDE. I've got SQF defined as a new file-type sharing the C++ syntax file (until I can be bothered to rewrite it, and make an auto-complete file).
- cpbo - Kegetys' little tool is fantastic for a quick PBO of any addon-related files I'm working on, or simply to dePBO other missions to explore the scripting.
- Dropbox - Not directly related, but I use Dropbox to sync files easily between machines I could be developing on and (more importantly) to sync missions to my squad's dedicated server without having to open up FTP or VNC.
That's about all I use, really (though, now I'm going to be using Log Expert, or a similar program). What do you use to make scripting/debugging easier/more enjoyable?
