Hi All,

I spent a couple of hours tonight and whipped up an LSL Syntax File for Code-Genie.

Code-Genie is a little programming tool that I love for my PHP work. Its mostly a text-editor that can dynamically color / highlight your code, based on rules you set up; but it also has some other cool features such as code-indenting & block-checking (finding/matching sets of parentheses & braces). I'm not affiliated with them personally, but you can check it out at: http://www.code-genie.com - I believe you can download the Editor and try it free for awhile.

I have set up a file that highlights code in Code-Genie almost exactly the same as when you're working with the in-game editor. It contains every built-in constant, LindenLab function, event, data-type, operator, etc. You can find it here:

Enjoy,

Hmmm i guess you missed the threads on ESL...

Added link to Wiki:

ESL is simpily LSL passed through a C precompiler (in this case MSVC) and then through a whitespace stripper to clean up the code. End result being you can use preprocessor commands (#define, #include, #if, etc.) With a tiny bit of work you can get it all setup so you can write some really nice code without pulling your hair out when it comes time to update.

I guess I did miss them - I have no idea what you mean by ESL.

(Reads up...)
Ahhhh, I see. Cool, but I've only been in SL for about 2 weeks; and working with LSL for only a few days. Once I'm grounded in it, *then* I'll start messing with preprocessor directives and such.

But thanks for updating the Wiki! I did some Wiki updates yesterday; didn't see the section on external editors.

Take care,

Oops, somehow I missed the Particle-System Constants.... The ZIP file has been updated.

If anyone uses Code-Genie, please let me know if you find any other "missing" constants!

Take care,
