SciTE

Every couple of weeks it seems someone complains here that they wish they could do includes.

Well we have been doing includes and much more with SciTE. But it does take a bit of work to get it up and running and tweaked how you want unless you want to use the older outdated one in the wiki.

So to try to make it easier on others I have setup a user page on SciTE with all of my property files and links to what all you need. Page is still under construction so I have also linked to Strife's page because he already has the links for some of the add ons.

Hope to get a discussion going on this and am of course still always learning myself. Still want to install Lua and learn to start using some of it's scripts in SciTE also. OOoOO They have one script that gives you a hotkey to insert file name/date/timestamp in the script

I will still always love Alphons's LSLEditor. Somethings it just makes soooo much easier but now I have mine so that I can open the script I am working on in LSLEditor by hitting F8. Any changes that I make there will go back into the open script in SciTE. WOOHOO!

Here's a teaser:

Damn - these are the moments I wish I had a PC or a Linux-System...

Why can't I get such stuff for the Mac??? (I know, there's Eclipse - but it kinda sucks...)

Ah but see, you have access to something we can only dream about: Textmate!!! Costs money but from all I have heard, it rock's!

Thanks for the hint, Jesse!

I found the thread with the tmbundle a while ago, but never downloaded TextMate... Should've, I guess

Just installed TM (demo-version) and at a frist glance it looks great. I like the PHP-Bundle that comes with it too...

39 Euros aren't that much - so I guess if I still like it after the 30 days, I'll buy it...

I used to use scite until I found lsleditor. One thing I like is that, since I work on at least two different computers, I have all of my SL scripting stuff on a USB drive. I have to have the .NET framework installed on each computer, but I can simply run lsleditor off the USB drive. I haven't looked into it at all, but can I do that with scite? Or does it rely on registry keys and the like?

Although you can run SciTE off of a USB drive by itself, you would still come out losing compared to LSLEditor. The big advantages that Scite give, outside of your ability to create custom definitions, are because of it's ability to do calls to outside programs and run Macros from outside. So to get full cabilities, you need VS 2005 C++, indent.exe, stripper.exe, lslint.exe, clipboard.exe & LSLEditor.exe. And you can add even more functions with Lua and Perl.

For a USB no, but for your hardrive, it isn't as bad as it sounds. Download components, install in the right places, run SciTE and script

Coders running Windows and Linux have been begging the creator for a couple of years to port it to windows and he has declined. Recently Apple bought Textmate and we are holding out hope that maybe, just maybe, they will see the advantages of doing that. I do know it would double thier sales and that should help them decide

Well - as Apple became somewhat greedy recently, you might be lucky

After a little testing, I really like the editor... have to really figure out how to set colors for my flavor (I destroyed the PHP-Settings, obviously, and now all I can see is black and some green - but I'll fix that, I'm sure)...

TY again!
