PAWN for SA-MP in Sublime Text 3

About

Sublime Text 3 is a highly customizable Text-editor with a lot of cool features, that you don't get using the standard Pawno-editor or Notepad++. I know there are already a bunch of tutorials about this, but they don't explain how to install packages very well, which can be confusing for beginners and I added some instructions on using the program.

• You can fully customize the editor to something you feel comfortable with.
• Writing code is faster because of the auto-completion and a smart auto-correction.
• Your code will look a lot cleaner with the neat indentation it offers.
• A lot of useful (customizable) Keyboard Shortcuts to write code more easily.
• It also works for a lot of other languages, so it can be used as your primary text editor.
• Sublime Text is available for Windows, OS X and and Linux.

Installing the syntax

1. Download and Install Sublime Text

You can now start writing SendClientMessage to see if the auto-completion works. If it doesn't you didn't complete these steps successfully.

Installing the compiler

2. Replace the code with this code:
   
   Code:

   {
   	"cmd": ["pawncc.exe", "-i includes", "$file", "-;+"],
   	"path": "C:/path/to/pawno/folder"
   }

3. You have to change the path to the folder containing pawncc.exe (e.g. "C:/Users/Name/Desktop/MyServer/pawno"), make sure the slashes from your path are / and not \.
4. Save the file (remember the name) and close the tab
5. Restart the program
6. Set your build system: Tools>Build System>name you chose
7. You can now press Ctrl+B to compile the the code.

Congratulations, you're done

How can I get new color schemes?

There is a problem in your build system (compiler)
You wrote Cmd instead of cmd.

It should look like this:

Code:

{
	"cmd": ["pawncc.exe", "-i includes", "$file", "-;+"],
	"path": "C:/path/to/pawno/folder"
}

To fix it you have to edit the file that you made, located in:
C:\Users\YOUR PC USERNAME HERE\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User
and Change Cmd to cmd

Which part isn't working?
Actually it doesn't really matter where your pawncc.exe is. Just make sure that the path is correct.

If for example this is the location of pawncc.exe:
C:\Users\name\Desktop\MyServer\pawno\pawncc.exe

Then this should be your path:
C:/Users/name/Desktop/MyServer/pawno

So the path that you have to write for you build file doesn't have \ but /
and the path does not end with pawncc.exe

Check the 'cmd' param. You ~probably~ are compiling with (-l) arg.

If not you didn't install it right. If it does then click on it, afterwards click on install package and search for pawn syntax and install it. Wait until it's finished and restart the program afterwards. You should now be able to find PAWN in the syntaxes

Nothing happens when I click on Pawn syntax, the pop up just dissapears.

Do you use Linux/Windows/Mac ?
I double checked with the latest version on 2 different PCs and everything worked fine...

Is your file in the list of build systems? And did you click on it? Tools>Build System
I forgot to say that after you've made the file you have to restart the program before you can see it in Tools>Build System, so check again now that it has been restarted.

Send me the content of your build file, if it really doesn't work.
the file is located in C:\Users\PC_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User

The compiler work on my other PC.

Code:

{
    "cmd": ["C:/Users/user/Desktop/Server Files/pawno.exe", "$file_name", "-;+", "-d3", "-\\)+"],
    "working_dir": "${file_path}",
    "file_regex": "^([^\\.]+\\.pwn)\\((\\d+)\\)() : (.*)$",
    "variants": [
        {
            "cmd": ["C:/Users/user/Desktop/Server Files/pawno.exe", "$file_name", "-;+", "-d3", "-\\)+", "-l"],
            "working_dir": "${file_path}",
            "name": "Preprocessed output"
        },
        {
            "cmd": ["C:/Users/user/Desktop/Server Files/pawno.exe", "$file_name", "-;+", "-d3", "-\\)+", "-a"],
            "working_dir": "${file_path}",
            "name": "P-code output"
        }
    ]
}

Edit: Doing the same thing:

Code:

{
	"cmd": ["pawncc.exe", "-i includes", "$file", "-;+"],
	"path": "C:/Users/user/Desktop/Server Files/"
}

Check if you're not compiling with "Preprocessed output" variant. The compiler will give a .lst file if you are using '-l' arg (or another arg that gives this file format).
