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.


Where do I put those files?

Usually in whichever directory your SciTE executable is in - there should already be a bunch of *.properties files there.

Yeah, the one thing that I noticed was that if you don't SAVE your file as .lsl, it won't use the LSL syntax highlighting. THAT could be improved.

I'll have to give this a shot - currently using ultraedit bit this looks like it has popups for function syntax which would save me from having the help files open non-stop (I program in too many languages to remember what is what... There is nothing like sitting down, programming, and realize half way through what your doing you started coding in Perl instead of LSL...;)

/edit: Okay, from first look, that thing rocks! Will have to try it out a bit to see if it will be a replacement, but from first glance, very nice! Can you remap the keystrokes in the preferences? (Or I guess I'll just not be lazy and look myself...)

Slightly updated version available now, most noticeable it now features direct help for LSL calls via the wiki. See the history in the top posting for more details.

Alondria, SciTE is very customizable if you're not afraid of editing config files. Additionally it's scriptable in LUA.

here's a little change so you can use Ezhar's new version with the my semi-smart vertical white space stripper.

in lsl.properties
replace
CODE

if NO_STRIP_COMMENT
esl.strip.comment=/C
#command.compile.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileNameExt).tmp" && "$(SciteDefaultHome)\SciTE.exe" "-open:$(FileNameExt).tmp"
command.compile.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileName).lsl"

# put lsl script into clipboard
command.go.$(file.patterns.lsl)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\clipboard.exe" "$(FileName).lsl"
command.go.needs.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileName).lsl"


with
CODE

if NO_STRIP_COMMENT
	esl.strip.comment=/C
#command.compile.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileNameExt).tmp" && "$(SciteDefaultHome)\SciTE.exe" "-open:$(FileNameExt).tmp"
#command.compile.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileName).lsl"
command.compile.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileName).wsl" && "$(SciteDefaultHome)\stripper.exe" "$(FileName).wsl" "$(FileName).lsl" && del "$(FileName).wsl"

# put lsl script into clipboard
command.go.$(file.patterns.lsl)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\clipboard.exe" "$(FileName).lsl"
#command.go.needs.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileName).lsl"
command.go.needs.*.esl=cmd /c cl /nologo /X /u $(esl.strip.comment) /Tc"$(FileNameExt)" /EP >"$(FileName).wsl" && "$(SciteDefaultHome)\stripper.exe" "$(FileName).wsl" "$(FileName).lsl" && del "$(FileName).wsl"


course you will need a copy of the text stripper. found here

Nice. Let's petition SL to let us upload scripts via RPC..

A published BNF would be nice as well.

Strife, would you mind if I included your stripper in the next release?

The LSLWiki StyleGuide suggests doing

CODE

default
{
     state_entry()
     {
          if (x == 1)
          {
               llSay(0, "X is:" + (string) 1);
          }
     }
}

rather than
CODE

default {
     state_entry() {
          if (x == 1) {
               llSay(0, "X is:" + (string) 1);
          }
     }
}

You can modify your abbrev.properties file and add a \n in front of the abbreviations so that you have

# LSL states
default=default\n{\n\t|\n}
state=state |\n{\n\t\n}

rather than

# LSL states
default=default {\n\t|\n}
state=state | {\n\t\n}

sure. Makes my life easier; don't have to add hack after each update...

Also if you want to change it go right ahead, it's easy to compile as you have the MSVC compiler already. It reads up to 2k at a time. It will have problems if a line is longer then that....
More interestingly it supports undocumented LSL whitespace characters. They are useful if you want to make a script obfuscated.:D

(waits around for another obfuscated coding contest)

revisions

Thx for dreaming this up. Big multi script projects are now managable. All we need now is a syntax checker. I think a hacked c compiler would do the job.

Freqout, actually I made abbrev files for both brace styles. It lets you choose which one to use when installing.

Strife, cool, it'll be in the next release.

Unzip the attachment to your scite-ez folder overwriting the old versions.
