First of all, this is a very specific tutorial, focused on people who use to work on OSX with IntelliJ. This tutorial does not exclude the fact you'll have to install a Windows VM on OSX, since pawn compiler sa-mp uses only works on Windows.

Requirements
- Parallels or VirtualBox. Download it at: http://www.parallels.com/br/products/desktop/
- A working Windows VM (XP, Vista, 7 or 10) built in Parallels, Wine or similar with network shared with OSX. (my parallels version: 10.2.2. In this tutorial I'm using a Windows 7 VM with Parallels Tools installed.
- IntelliJ IDEA (mine is 13.1.4). Downloat Community Edition at: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/
- MobaSSH installed on Windows. Download Home Edition at: http://mobassh.mobatek.net/download.html

Windows VM installation on Parallels
- Open Parallels and press command + N.
- Select Modern.IE as the new Virtual Machine. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2v331tlb6...36.29.png?dl=0
- Keep clicking in "Continue" until you reach a window asking you to select the version of the system you want. Select "IE 11 in Windows 7". https://www.dropbox.com/s/cakcnre7nd...37.14.png?dl=0
- Download and install.

Windows VM installation on VirtualBox
- Download Modern.IE 11 on Windows 7 at http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/mac/
- On VirtualBox, go to File > Import Appliance and import the appliance you downloaded.

Parallels network configuration
Create two network configurations configured as the images below:

VirtualBox network configuration
- First you need to create a new host-only network on VirtualBox, so open VirtualBox and press the shortcut Command + comma (Settings), then go to Network > Host-only network and click the icon "New" on the right panel. https://www.dropbox.com/s/14wj6fpyp8...56.52.png?dl=0
- After creating vboxnet0, edit it with the following configuration:

• Adapter
  • IPv4 Address: 192.168.56.100
  • IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • IPv6 Address: <leave it blank>
  • IPv6 Network Mask Length: 0

• DHCP Server
  • Enable it.
  • Server Address: 192.168.56.100
  • Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Lower Address Bound: 192.168.56.101
  • Upper Address Bound: 192.168.56.254

Windows Network Configuration
After installing and launching Windows, go to "Control Panel" > "Network and Sharing Center" > "Change Adapter Settings" > "Local area connection" > "Edit" > "Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4)" and configure it as the image below to configure Windows network to use static IP address.

MobaSSH
On the Windows VM, download and install MobaSSH (http://mobassh.mobatek.net/download.html)

IntelliJ IDEA Deployment configuration
On IntelliJ, configure the deployment as the images below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1d1hw8o4yp...13.34.png?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4w2o3uuuis...17.08.png?dl=0

Check the option "automatic upload"
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvpe4y5o0v...18.20.png?dl=0

On deployment options, check the option "Upload external changes" and remove ".git" and ".svn" from the excluded items by name.

Setting up IntelliJ IDEA custom external tool to compile the pawn script
Create a new External Tool with the following configuration
https://www.dropbox.com/s/letyfefide...22.36.png?dl=0

Change "Program" and "Working directory" paths. You'll also need to create a file called pawncompiler.sh on "Program" directory with the following content:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
regex="\/([a-zA-Z]+)$"
[[ $1 =~ $regex ]]
dirpath=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
echo "$dirpath $1 $2 $3"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_winvm
ssh yourrootusername@127.168.0.27 "cd /drives/c/BRZ/$dirpath/pawno; ./pawncc.exe -i ../$2/$3; exit"

Create a shortcut to your new external tool:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x83hbizj9u...28.27.png?dl=0

In this example I created the shortcut Command + \, but you can also configure IntelliJ to call the Pawn Compiler tool when you save the file (Command + S).

Pros

• For me, it's way better work with pawn in OSX this way, I don't even need to switch to Windows, I just need to turn it's VM on to call the pawn compiler, I hate switch to windows only to work with pawn scripts.
• You can use all the power of IntelliJ. I know, i know.. there are a lot of other IDE's you would prefer, but for me no one beats IntelliJ for web and pawn development, you don't need to install a hundred of plugins on it, just set pawn as C/C++ script and voilа, you have highlight and autocomplete, it's very customizable, just as Sublime is.

Cons

• Tutorial difficult to follow for people who are not use to the tools used in this tutorial.
• A lot of configurations both in Windows and OSX. Execute a bash to call pawn compiler through ssh on Windows, sharing Volumes between Windows and OSX, having the same code on OSX and Windows... I know it's ugly, very ugly.. but what are the other ways to pawn script on OSX?

The tutorial can be incomplete, maybe I miss one step or another.. let me know if you follow this tutorial and couldn't start scripting on OSX!

You actually can compile PAWN scripts natively on OS X. You just have to compile Zeex' modified PAWN compiler.

Hi. The image URL don't work, could you please upload the images again or write the image content? Like the settings for Intellij, Windows network and etc.

Thanks.
