Notepad ++ package for scripters

[Kenix]

1) Compiler

• 
  

How to install?

Download "lua5_1_4_(YOUR OS)_bin.(zip_OR_tar.gz)" hence

http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/download.html
Extract this file in folder C:\Program Files\Lua (this path will be used)
Next hit F5 and in window enter this command "C:\Program Files\Lua\luac5.1.exe" -s -o "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)c" -- "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
If you want use combination keys for compile. Click on button "Save".

2) Syntax checker (by Talidan)

One thing LuaEdit has that Notepad++ lacks is an Lua syntax checker. This lets you look for general LUA mistakes that are NOT RELATED to MTA scripting before running your script and debugging it inside MTASA. For example it will make sure the end statements balance out and your if comparison operators are valid.

So why use this? It saves you time by detecting silly mistakes before switching windows and going ingame, where you will get the same error messages. The general Lua syntax must be correct before your Lua script works.

You can download the files here:

OPEN THE README FOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!

Notepad++ syntax check hax

========================

1) Extract the contents of this archive to an appropriate directory. These files need to stay somewhere for notepad++ to call upon.

2) In Notepad++, press F5, and browse to the location of syntaxcheck.bat

3) At the end of the path, add the following parameter:

"$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

So, for example:

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\syntaxcheck\syntaxcheck.bat" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

4) Try a test run. It'll only report something if there's an error. If it works, press F5 and go ahead and press the Save button, and give it a name and optionally a shortcut key

What download are you looking for?

[Jaysds1]

Anyways, Here's a pic of the Syntax Highlight for anyone who can't see it: http://i.imgur.com/RmM0I.png

[Guest Guest4401]

The 3rd & 4th together didn't work for me. Any idea where I've done wrong?

I can use only one at a time. Is that for everyone or only for me?

[Jaysds1]

I don't think they're compatible with each other.

[Guest Guest4401]

Ok, thanks for the info.

[Jaysds1]

[JR10]

Highlighting by Fro is very nice, only one problem though, the function auto completion and parameter isn't working with it. Well it was helping me when I forget an argument.

So does anyone know any solution? Or an alternative? Thanks.

[Jaysds1]

sorry, but I don't have a solution,

I just wanted to ask you, Where you got the MTALua.xml from?

My Notepad++ says that it can't find the MTALua.xml, and right now I'm using the Highlight From Buffalo Lua.xml

Any solutions?

[Jaysds1]

Run

Select Syntax -> MTALua

I don't see this in my Notepad++ List

[Kenix]

Jaysds1, You wrong installed.

Okay. Who want use Buffalo auto completion and Fro highlighting.

Install

plugins\MTALua.dll and plugins\FunctionList.dll in folder PROGRAM_FOLDER\plugins\

plugins\config\ in folder PROGRAM_FOLDER\Notepad++\plugins\config\

plugins\APIs\ in folder PROGRAM_FOLDER\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\

Run

Select Language -> MTA Lua.

Don't forget restart notepad++ !

Download

[Guest Guest4401]

Thanks kenix, it's working perfectly now.

[JR10]

This is not working for me.

I copied plugins\MTALua.dll and plugins\FunctionList.dll in folder С:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\

Copied plugins\config\ in folder %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\config\

And copied Buffalo's lua.xml in folder %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\

And I choose MTA Lua as the language, but it didn't work.

[Kenix]

You should copy mta lua.xml but not lua.xml. ( If you want use with Fro's highlighting )

Don't forget select language MTA Lua.

[JR10]

I downloaded Fro's highlighting but didn't find plugins\APIs\.

And Buffallo's has one file lua.xml.

What should I exactly do? Sorry but I don't really understand what you've described.

[Kenix]

Okay i explain more more better.

Copy all files from folder plugins\APIs\ to folder Notepad_FOLDER\plugins\APIs\

Copy all files from folder plugins\config\ to folder Notepad_FOLDER\plugins\config\

Copy all files from folder plugins\ to folder Notepad_FOLDER\plugins\

[Jaysds1]

JR10, go into your Notepad++ Folder, here:

C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\APIs

Place your mtalua.xml in there.

[JR10]

Didn't work for me until I placed it in C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\APIs, not %APPDATA%.

Thanks Jaysds1.

[Kenix]

My mistake. Don't' saw this. Update now.

Edited June 9, 2012 by Guest

[JR10]

For me, it actually opened a different file.
