Tutorial: Script with Notepad++ ! - yom - 06.05.2009

This small tutorial explain how to use Notepad++ as a replacement for Pawno.

Many advantages, but one inconvenient: no functions list (yet). Still interested?

• Download and install Dracoblue's Pawn syntax highlighter for Notepad++
  
  
• Go into C:\Documents and Settings\<you>\Application Data\Notepad++\plugins\config
  
  
• Open NppExec.ini and modify as follow (or delete all in the file and add this)
  
  Code:

  [Console]
  Visible=1
  ShowHelp=0
  Encoding=290
  SaveOnExecute=1
  CmdHistory=1
  SaveCmdHistory=1
  NoInternalMsgs=1
  CdCurDir=1
  [Restore]
  LastSelectedScript=1
  [ExitBox]
  I0="exit"
  [ConsoleOutputFilter]
  RecognitionMask0="%ABSFILE%(%LINE%) : warning*"
  RecognitionEffect0="+E 00 00 FF -I +B -U"
  RecognitionMask1="%ABSFILE%(%LINE%) : error*"
  RecognitionEffect1="+E FF 00 00 -I +B -U"
  RecognitionMask2="%ABSFILE%(%LINE%) : fatal error*"
  RecognitionEffect2="+E 00 00 00 -I +B -U"

• Open or create (in the same folder of the previous step) npes_saved.txt and add this:
  
  Code:

  ::pawncc
  <path to pawncc.exe> "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" -;
  //In my case it's: E:\GTA San Andreas\samp_server_02X\pawno\pawncc.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" -;

• You can change the shortcut for compiling (by default, CTRL+F6) by going in Settings -> Shorcut mapper -> Plugins commands and change the shortcut of Direct Execute Previous to F5 or whatever you want.
  
  
• Done! Have fun.

Cool. Good for someone who prefers the look and feel of notepad++ in their bed in the morning.

Honestly though I don't see the point, but good job none-the-less.

Sweet I didn't know about ConsoleOutputFilter. Using c++ or c might be better than adding custom languages as it's similar enough for the function list to work. I made an API for function completion a while ago, just go to "...\Notepad++\plugins\APIs" and replace either the c or c++ API with http://pastebin.com/f14b99c15.

To compile the same way as pawno:

It's a hidden folder

Re: Tutorial: Script with Notepad++ ! - lavamike - 06.05.2009

To show hidden folders, in your Explorer (The thing that lets you view files and folders and stuff) click: Tools -> Folder Options -> View - Thank mark the 'Show hidden files and folders' button. OR you can access hidden folders by typing it in to the address bar. So for example go to the <you> folder and in the address bar add 'Application Data\Notepad++\plugins\config' and it should bring you there

Great! I greatly dislike the indentation system in PAWNO and prefer the look of Notepad ++. So thanks for this.
