Greetings denizens, it is I, your neighbourhood OFP gremlin, baring my teeth in horror at all these modern ArmA games.
Today I was procrastinating and I made a Language plugin for Notepad++ that does syntax highlighting for our scripting language.
It recognizes all commands, all Moves, all Objects, all Weapons
(incl. ammo, fired & muzzles), all vanilla eventHandlers, all arithmetical functions, comments, GOTOs, and local variables. I taught it literally thousands of commands, so much so that Notepad++ groans under the weight of it.
I have attached the file below. It is in
.xml format, but you'll have to unpack it from the
.zip file. To install it...
Open Notepad++. Go to:
Language -> Define your language... -> Import -> [select the "SQF_BIS.xml" file] to import it into your copy of Notepad++,
then
click Save As...Once you have imported it you can manually choose the language by:
Language -> SQF BIS (or whatever you've chosen as the name) to force Notepad++ to use it on your current document.
Once you import it into Notepad++ it should automatically associate with .sqs, .sqf, .ext and .sqm files.
If you don't have Notepad++ you can download it directly from this link:>
http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/6.6.9/npp.6.6.9.Installer.exe...or from here
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/.....or from here
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Notepad%2B%2BIt's easy to modify Languages in Notepad++. You'll have visited the page for it already by intalling this. Have a play around with the colours
(found under Styler for each bit). If you find anywhere I've got some commands wrong or you think you've got a better way of doing it, please post your improvement as an exported file as an attachment to a post in this thread
Don't hate me, I made this with four hours and a lot of coffee.
Good luck.
Peace out.
