Hi

I am new on scripting in SL, but not new to C++ and C#. I was wondering if I can develop and test my script and not being log on to SL ? (Outside SL)

I do it using this:
/54/16/182108/1.html

It's a small IDE, more than an editor.

All hail to Alphons!

Being a full time scripter, I've tried many outside-SL LSL editors. The best I can think of IMO would be Scite paired with LSLint. This way you can edit and create scripts, and mock-compile them in a much more stable enviornment (we all know how SL can get).

SciTE-ez

A customized package of SciTE, sporting syntax highlighting, folding, autocompletion and tooltips for the whole LSL API. Also includes syntax highlighting and advanced features for many other languages, such as PHP, C, C++, LUA, and Perl.

Available at sdfjkl.org
This is no longer supported at this site, but updated syntax files can be had at http://adammarker.org/shill/.

To use lslint with SciTE-ez, first make sure lslint.exe is in the same folder as scite.exe is. Then pull down the Options menu and select "Open lsl.properties". Add this line:

command.build.$(file.patterns.lsl)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\lslint.exe" "$(FileName).lsl"

This enables the Build option in the Tools menu. When you click Tools>Build or press F7, lslint runs and checks the script.

Hope I helped xD

Thanks ! Now I found a lot of editors to use and also attempt to use them.
Now I had one more question about this.

If I created one object in SL and use script on that, is it possible to work with that object offline in one of the editors ? For example, created a box, and want to change color on it... very simple...

Hi Brother Beck

,

I use LSL-Editor to make my scripts, it's a good runtime environment, but: all editors are just that: editors providing some debugging help.
They are no object simulators, so there's no way to "see" the changed textures.

What you get are the fuction calls, so you can track down the process flow. You can include notecards in the editor as part of the script setup (but no real prim objects) and so you have a good approach to get the script roughly working outside SL.

Fine tuning (eg. positioning, setting textures at the right surface etc.) will always be done in SL... But as there's no cost at getting a script inworld (Luckily copy&paste works) this is no real issue. Just remember to copy the inworld changed script back out world....

Maybe, when simulator code may get Open Source, there could be a possibility for a complex creation tool outside SL...
