Atom.io - Multi Theft Auto Lua support

Introduction

Some of you might have heard of the new text editor called: Atom.io. If you haven't heard of it, go check it out. It's a cool text editor to use and in my opinion the new sublime! I've been using it for the past few months and really enjoyed the text editor thus far.

But with most text editors they lack support of various languages, API's, etc. I found this awesome package which added Lua support to Atom. It really speeded up my development process, but it lacked the Multi Theft Auto API.

And that's why I started this package, to integrate the Multi Theft Auto API into Atom.

Installation

The installation of this package is quite easy since atom has its own package manager(apm).

So just open up Atom, go to settings(ctrl + ,), click on Install and search for the package "language-mta-lua". Press install and you're ready to go!

Is it just me or do I miss a lot of functions?

The package is still in development and a lot of functions are indeed missing. I'm working as fast as I can to implement all the functions into the package.

What is currently implemented?

The current functions that are implemented are listed on github. I'll leave some links down here.

Do you need any help?

If you'd like to help, I really do appreciate that! Just fork the repository(https://github.com/Kevenvz/language-mta-lua), add some snippets and grammar and make a pull request.

It's awesome!

I think this belongs here.

Anyway, great job! I was using Atom a few months ago and really liked it. I was bummed that no one here had added syntax highlighting support for MTA's functions. Glad to see it finally happened.

You might wanna look into JR10's resource NPP. It should get you all the function and all that good stuff you need. I used this myself when I was writing my own MTA-Lua language definition for N++.

I've always been loyal to N++ despite their poor support for Lua(at least custom versions of Lua). But I might check this one out some time. I've been too scared to try other editors since I love the Zenburn theme of N++

Edit:

I saw there were a few zenburn based themes so I went ahead and gave it a go. It's actually pretty darn solid, very sleek interface design. And there's a whole lot of addons to be found.

I would highly, highly recommend the "minimap" and the color-picker.

I'd gladly help contribute to this, but I've barely used GitHub other than to host my own repositories. So I'd need to look up how contributions actually work so I don't break anything
