Which IDE / Text Editor do you use? - BiosMarcel - 26.12.2016

Hello,

Since i have been coding Pawn, i have used Pawno, which we all now and probably even hate(i don't see any reason thatmakes it likeable).
So, why do i hateit?

That's pretty simple, because it has got nothing besides syntax highlighting,the ability to run a compiler with specific arguments and an autocomplete function for method names only (not even the goddamn brackets and such).

So, what am i missing (its not like i expect that anyways does such stuff for such an unknown language)?

• Jumping into a methods declaration
• Proper autocomplete (like in the Eclipse IDE, but Eclipse is compiling while coding ... so that might not be possible anyways)
• working identation (its somehow totally buggy)
• a formatter
• the ability to collapse blocks

... there could be more, but i think thats a minimum for coding with comfort

So what IDE are you using? Which do you think is the most comfortable?

greetings Marcel

Sublime Text is all you need. Its selection features are very useful.

I am kind of too stupid to get the build system to work how'd u do it? there seem to be diffrent way, some people use python files, but that isn't even acknowledged as a build system in my sublime?

You could use Notepad++:

I'd prefer sublime, simply because it looks better, lol

I think that "Brackets" is the purest and amazing IDE even created, such a shame it doesn't support pawn, (and it's free,), spicialised in web development, but its awesomeness makes you use it to other programming languages

It's good stuff...

Re: Which IDE / Text Editor do you use? - BiosMarcel - 27.12.2016

What's the name?

The todo list thing seems cool, does it support more than just todo tags? And what else can it do?

Re: Which IDE / Text Editor do you use? - Spmn - 27.12.2016

It looks like CodeBlocks (maybe with some plugins in order to integrate pawn)

---

Re: Which IDE / Text Editor do you use? - Sew_Sumi - 27.12.2016

It is CodeBlocks, it has no extra plugins needed.

Re: Which IDE / Text Editor do you use? - SickAttack - 27.12.2016

I don't know if other text editors have the multi region selection feature like Sublime Text. But that's really useful, and the main reason to why I prefer it.

The word-wrap option is also so useful for me.

Re: Which IDE / Text Editor do you use? - Sew_Sumi - 28.12.2016

Here's how to get CodeBlocks working.

I'm sad to don't see anyone recommend Atom Editor. I think if you program just in PAWN, choose the faster editor. But if you program in other languages, Atom is the most complete editor ever seen.
- Open source and completely hackable;
- Project management;
- Full git integration;
- Good build system (package) that allow you to make a PAWN builder in some minutes and customize a ton of things, like: input directory (gamemode.pwn), output directory (gamemode.amx), more than one API directories (the include files...) etc. Good for modular gamemodes;
- Already has syntax and autocompletions (snippets) for PAWN/SA:MP;
- Atom have to be used with modular gamemodes, if you open a file with 1mb and +/- 10k lines you'll have a messed editor.

Can't really list all the benefits, but the git integration should make everyone fall in love... I use for PAWN and other programming languages with some packages and it's perfect for me.
The only problem is a git integration bug that makes the editor slower when focus in. But the community reached a temporary fix till the oficial fix be released (I said! It's hackable!).
If you are a lazy person, Atom can be difficult to install and configure the packages. But if you do it, you can be more lazy and productive

If someone is interested, I can make a tutorial installing and configuring Atom for PAWN (This is outdated).

Here is a preview, the project structure is on the left. Sorry for show only YSI folder, the project is private!

Thank you for understand my english!

Actually i use Atom, but i didn't really try out a lot, so i have no clue what is capable of (in its default version, no plugins and such)
