DracoBlue Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Hey scripters and notepad++ users, just copy and paste http://dracoblue.pastebin.com/f273b14d8 to a file called lua.api (for 4.9) or viewtopic.php?f=91&t=23647&p=285813#p284758 to a file called lua.xml for 5.0 (thx to spz) and put this file into c:\program files\notepad++\plugins\apis after you did that, you'll have auto-complete (ctrl+space) for all mta functions. Hope it's useful for someone else, too. - Draco Edited November 8, 2008 by Guest [dev-diary] • [lua api docs]
Gamesnert Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 What... GREAT! Been waiting for this! ^^ EDIT: Hmmm... You sure that's the way to full install? Since it doesn't work... =/ EDIT2: I was looking around, and found this: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/ ... -HOWTO.php And it seems to be that it needs to be in XML format... =/ Projects: Slothbot | Maximap
SpZ Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 It worked for me when I placed it in a file named 'lua.xml', here's the code: http://dracoblue.pastebin.com/f7d40972f
DracoBlue Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 Hmm, I have it as .api file and it works like a charm. Maybe it's because I just updated notepad++ over the years and never reinstalled it? - Draco [edit] oh, 5.0 is out [dev-diary] • [lua api docs]
Gamesnert Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Hmm, I have it as .api file and it works like a charm. Maybe it's because I just updated notepad++ over the years and never reinstalled it?- Draco SpZ's version works fine. And I don't exactly know why it does work for you and not for me (and maybe others). =/ EDIT: Yes most have 5.0 now. Projects: Slothbot | Maximap
50p Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 We had a topic like this and I used my .api for quiet long. After an update from 4.x to 5.0 it stopped working. I've checked the settings and it seems to be fine (Auto-completion is enabled). So not everyone can use it because Notepad++ is bugged. - MTA Script Editor - Ask your scripting questions properly, please. - 50p's public resources - Meta.xml - what is it for? How is it possible LOL

With 5.0 they introduced .xml api files. - Draco [dev-diary] • [lua api docs]
50p Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Right... I'm going to add parameters to each function in that xml file. So far, 150 functions have parameters, only ~560 remaining! If somebody wants to speed it up, PM me and we'll divide the functions so we won't have the same function twice. - MTA Script Editor - Ask your scripting questions properly, please. - 50p's public resources - Meta.xml - what is it for?

robhol Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I can probably do something, I'm not sure how much.. How about you give me 50 or so to begin with? Do NOT PM ME for help unless invited. - New MTA Script Editor Scripting help "etiquette": understandable language, relevant code (ALL code if unsure), [Lua] tags, error messages with line numbers.

SpZ Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I'm almost done, worked on it for hours yesterday..

SpZ Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Sorry Anyway, 41 functions left.. watch this post. [Edit] Enclosed the lua.xml API file. Notepad++ will AutoComplete your MTA functions if necessary and will show parameter/return value hints!

Notepad++ will AutoComplete your MTA functions if necessary and will show parameter/return value hints! Nice work, but.. how do I get the prototypes (retval and args) to appear? Edit: never mind, worked it out. For those who actually don't know: * Settings > Preferences > Backup / Auto-completion (what perfect logic!) * Check both boxes. * Close.

darkdreamingdan Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Oh my god i nearly slit my wrists after only just discovering this (all that wiki checking *shudder*). I dont suppose you could start work on a DP3 version now? Maybe have one for release that is included with the installer. Also i dont support anyone knows how to switch between Client and Server parameters using the keyboard? I can click the arrows but it ruins the flow of scripting somewhat. I tried obvious ctrl+up/down, alt+up/down etc. If not i'll request it on their forums. VCP FOREVER!

I tried that too but it doesn't seem to be like in VS. It's a good feature so if you've registered there (I couldn't be bothered to do it myself ) post a request. - MTA Script Editor - Ask your scripting questions properly, please. - 50p's public resources - Meta.xml - what is it for?

I can click the arrows but it ruins the flow of scripting somewhat. I tried obvious ctrl+up/down, alt+up/down etc. If not i'll request it on their forums. Yeah, I couldn't come up with a better way to show the difference between client and server functions. Somewhat annoying to click the arrows, I don't know about hotkeys for that either.
