4DScript Syntax Highlighting in Notepad++
Posted: Thursday 02 July, 2015 - 12:38
Ever have one of those days where you would like to edit ED-files in a text-editor and find it hard to separate the comments from the code?
These days are luckily over! That is, when you download the attachment [attachment=0]4DScriptSyntaxHighLighting.zip[/attachment] extract the xml-file from it and start (using) Notepad++.
To activate syntax highlighting in Notepad++, open the "Language"-menu and the "Define your language.."-option.
Now you see a window with several options, the one of interest would be "Import".
Select 4DScriptSyntaxHighLighting.xml and it should now appear in the "Language"-menu.
When you open *.4ds, *.atm, *.gui or *.app files they should light up automatically but you can always manually turn it on by selecting it from the menu.
I hope someone will find this useful and if anyone improves it, post it here and Ill make sure the newest version be attached here.
