UnrealScript Syntax Highlighting; Some help for coders

[hydra235]

You guys probably already are using this but I did not saw a topic of this so ( And I'm just trying to help ofcourse ) ;



Alright, this is just a protip for anyone who wants to make a mod in Deus Ex, this will really save you lots of stupid human errors ( Like forgetting a bracket or something like that ) and makes your code just way more clear.

Just download Notepad++ ( This is just an advanced version of the normal notepad you have on your pc ) here : http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/

And then just follow these simple steps to install the unrealscript syntax highlighter:

1. Download the plugin here: http://mrevil.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp ... Script.zip
2. Open the file with a program and extract the 'UnrealScript.xml' file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs ( Or C:\Program Files \Notepad++\plugins\APIs , or whatever, you get the point )
3. Open a .uc and click on 'Language' (Which is above the toolbar) and select 'UnrealScript' near the bottom.
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

Simple like that, now go, make me a mod where you explode a LAM there will be boobies!

This is one of the first threads I've seen in some time that actually has useful content instead of worthless bickering. Bravo!

you can't beat worthless bickering for traffic, but this kind of topic makes me actually get around to learning it. Thanks.

I'm used to using plain old notepad but thanks for this!

@Poor

LOL but Notepad++ actually highlights mistakes that you made, plus you can use it for several other scripting languages.



@This topic

Yeah, I've always had NP++, and was trying to find a way to find something like this. Thanks!

No problem guys, glad I could help.

Maybe sticky this topic? Just to help those modders out here ( If there still are some left, haha )

Notepad sucks.
If you use such a program then Notepad++!

mm do you recommend visual studio or this?

[~][FGS][Nobody~]

I think visual studio is unsuitable for UnrealScript.. unless there's a good plugin.
