notepad++;
does anyone at linden think it might be possible to port the script builder out of SL? It'd be pretty simple...
I am at work 10 hours a day, wherein I could be coding even if I couldn't be in world. It's obvious that scripting out of world would be crippled, there'd be no way to test your scripts.
But if we could have a standalone text editor that did :
correct color coding,
syntax checking,
tooltips on functions,
etc...
It'd certainly help me debug scripts before posting them here which I think people would appreciate =)

I think having some kind of external devolpment enviornment is a great idea, I am all for seeing that in the future!

JCreator and Textpad(my current choice) allow you to create your own syntax list, but i don't know of any text editors that have hover help. has anyone seen one?

homesite & pfe

homesite and pfe also allow syntatical additions, pfe being the more robust of the two.
But no, no hover help. |

Though UltraEdit doesn't do tooltips, I went ahead and made a syntax file for it. Simply append the contents of this file to the WORDFILE.TXT and it'll work for all .ls files.
I know Visual SlickEdit will do tooltips, but I don't think it'll support custom syntaxes.. Might be able to fool it into thinking it's Java if the syntax is close enough. -Ryden |

syntax color
12-17-2002 09:44
I've got a braindead VIM syntax file that I sometimes use to provide syntax colorization when out of world. And I think one of the other developers has produced EMACS syntax colorization for himself.
Syntax colorization is usually simple, and there are lots of editors that support it. Perhaps we need a resource location with syntax colorization files for various editors. As for syntax checking, compile errors, and tooltips... I'm pretty sure EMACS can be made to do all of that, but I don't know of another editor that could. Perhaps we should pull out that functionality from the app and make a stand alone editor that uses the same code used for the in-world one. I'll mention it to some of the other developers to see what they think. |

importing DXF files?

How about allow us to create objects in other tools and then uploading them?
This'd allow me to my existing 3-d tools to create objects. This'd rock! sketcher |
