Script syntax coloring

Script syntax coloring

Following this discussion on forum, my proposal to give script coders a quick system for syntax coloring.

The goal of this system is to provide a first tool in the analysis of scripts of the game and their control.

Notepad++

Install & Using

I'm assuming that you are using Windows (procedure apply with Linux or Mac too, just need someone to check information below):

• Install notepad++ from Notepad++ site
• start-> run -> %appdata%\Notepad++
  • a folder will be opened, backup your userDefineLang.xml file if existing
  • download from here userDefineLang.xml and copy it on %appdata%\Notepad++ folder opened before
• run notepad++
  • open using notepad++ a ufo-ai script file, for example:
  • https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk/base/ufos/ui/bases.ufo
  • open languages and select language "UFO"
• now you can see ufo script syntax colored
  • here and example
