Latest version: SciTE-ez 1.61-6 on 2005-04-02I've promised this quite a while ago when I stopped updating the Editplus config files, and someone pestered me enough to finally finish it, so here it is. Download Readme.txt: From: someone SciTE-ez is a customized version of SciTE, the Scintilla Text Editor, bundled with WSciTEcm and wrapped into an easy to use installer. It's aimed at users of Second Life and contains support for the LSL API of Second Life version 1.6.0, but also serves well as all-purpose text editor. Make sure you read the included Tutorial.lsl at least once. The latest version should always be available at http://sl.sdfjkl.org/Send bugreports, feature suggestions and contributions to [email]efairlight@gmail.com[/email] Thanks go to the makers of SciTE, wscitecm, InnoSetup, ISTool, Second Life, the LSL Wiki contributors and many others. Ezhar Fairlight <efairlight@gmail.com> Links: SciTE-ez: http://sl.sdfjkl.org/download/ SciTE: http://www.scintilla.org WSciTEcm: http://www.burgaud.com/wscitecm.html InnoSetup: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ESL: ESL scripts are basically LSL scripts that are piped through a C preprocessor (Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 by default). This allows the use of preprocessor keywords such as #define, #include and #ifdef. SciTE-ez defines a compile (Ctrl-F7) and a go (F5) command. Compile will call the preprocessor (and a whitespace stripper) and produce a file with the .lsl suffix. Go will put the resulting LSL script into the clipboard for easy transfer into SL (it checks if a new compile is required first and does this automatically). Optionally you can also have it strip comments from the source (if you're hitting the 64kb limit of the SL editor), set NO_STRIP_COMMENT to 0 in the file lsl.properties if you wish to enable this. History: 1.61-6: (2005-04-02) * fixed a bunch of missing or incorrectly named LSL functions in the tooltips and highlighting (thanks Strife) 1.61-5: (2005-04-02) * LSL support updated for Second Life 1.6.0 * Changed the F1 keyword help URL to the new address of the LSL Wiki * Added "Sort selected lines" feature to tools menu (this uses your operating system's "sort") * included Strife Onizuka's ESL whitespace stripper 1.61-4: (2004-08-31) * Updated Tutorial.lsl * LSL support updated for Second Life 1.5.0-pre2 * Minor change in calltip color * Included an adapted version of Hugh Perkins' preprocessor hack (*.esl extension) * Go (F5) now puts the LSL script in the clipboard for easy transfer into SL (ESL scripts are preprocessed first) * added API hint for llParseStringKeepNulls 1.61-3: (2004-07-24) * Added LSL Wiki online help - place your cursor on a LSL keyword an hit F1 to open the Wiki page * Added installer choices for monospaced font and line wrapping * Included small wrapper for software that doesn't quote long pathnames properly (i.e. Curious Labs Poser 5) * Started this history :P 1.61-2: (2004-07-22) First public release * Added Toolbar choice at installation * Cleaned up global properties 1.61-1: First release (not public) Screenshot (attached): Enjoy!

Then you can drop in my .properties and LSL api stuff, fix some Unix specicfic things and you should be set. Apple hardware is obscenely expensive and so I don't have any, which results in me having next to no clue about Mac software - go port it yourself :) |

I found this on google. Seems to be a build of SciTE for MacOS/X11. I have no idea if that works or which version of SciTE it is, go try it out |

Very nice, Ezhar. Only two niggly complaints.
Is there a version of this thing that actually saves your settings between runs? I'm getting tired of having to go into the options every time I run it. (Just annoying.)
Is there any way to set it so that LSL is the default language, and when you save a file, While you have LSL options turned on, it will actually add the .lsl extension for you?
Like I said, minor annoyances, but the thing as a whole is terrific!
Thanks

If you want to permanently change an option, you should set it in your SciTEUser.properties (use the menu entry: Options -> Open User Options File). Which options would you like to change? I can add more settings to the installer if theres some options that everyone wants to change so you can just pick them when installing. From: someone Is there any way to set it so that LSL is the default language, and when you save a file, While you have LSL options turned on, it will actually add the .lsl extension for you? Hmm, LSL is already the default language, so when you just create a new file it should default to LSL syntax highlighting and calltips. Does that not work for you? I gotta look into the .lsl extension thing. |

Whoah! I just tried it. This is great! I'll never go back to typing directly into that stupid script window.
Thanks, Ezhar!

Well, like I said, it's niggly and minor. So far the one that really annoys me is that it won't stay set on monospaced font. I'll have a look at the user options file. From: someone Originally posted by Ezhar Fairlight
Hmm, LSL is already the default language, so when you just create a new file it should default to LSL syntax highlighting and calltips. Does that not work for you? That works. It's just not intuitively obvious (until you start working on a new script and can observe the highlighting, that is.) From: someone Originally posted by Ezhar Fairlight
I gotta look into the .lsl extension thing. Thanks! Like I said, minor little things. But on the whole, it's a fantastic improvement over notepad!

OK, I've gone digging into the global settings file, and have turned on monospacing, which seems to be working.
I also noticed this:
"default.file.ext=.lsl"
Which apparently does nothing at all. :-/

That line ensures that SciTE uses LSL as the default mode, but despite the name it has nothing to do with file extensions :)
Also, I added a zipfile to the download page with only the properties/api/abbrev files for SciTE. That should help the Mac people and anyone else who is already using SciTE. Don't forget to add "import lsl" to your global properties if you're not using mine.
