[gossamersolid 155]

Thanks for the confirmation that this method works (from post #25), I'll put that in the first post incase people need it.

[AnimalMother92 10]

Nice! Thank you

[Stapo 1]

Yep, Upgrading to latest version fixed all my issues :P, now to get coding :P

[riouken 15]

Nice! thanks. Works great.

[dmarkwick 261]

Excellent :) thankyou.

[maddogx 13]

Awesome stuff. This will make working with SQF again a tad less torturous. :D

[tryteyker 28]

Brilliant, thanks a bunch :)

[Sarge 1]

quick question - does it support folding code ?

I use the old Armascript recoded plugin, which has some nifty features besides highlighting - one of em being folding, as well as showing function hints if you mark a function in your code.

Thx for a feedback

cheers

Ah, I was going to ask the same thing as Sarge.

Congrats on A3 addon #0001!

[BelgarionNL 10]

hey heads up! I couldn't get this to work either but that was because the xml from armaholic is wrong!

I used your code in the first post and then it worked like a charm! so maybe let someone know to update it?

@BelgarionNL

Thanks for the report mate, I copied directly from the source so no idea why it did not work for you. I have now downloaded the source directly so I think now it should be good for everyone :)

[hellfire257 3]

Damn, thanks for this! I owe you one. :)

bump - any feedback on this ? Thx & cheers

Hello fellow scripters!

I've been using the ArmA 2 Syntax Highlighting that Nicolas made back in 2009 (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8680). I've noticed that he hasn't updated it in a long time and that nobody else seems to want to take a crack at updating it, so I thought I would.

It's missing some commands that were added in the OA era, but it has all ArmA 2 and all known ArmA 3 commands now.

Please feel free to modify/contribute and I'll update this post.

Language -> Define your own Language -> Import

You have to copy and paste the code inside the spoiler I made in the first post and put it in an xml file on your computer (on the desktop for example).

This is your first post and I don't see any spoiler.

[gammadust 12]

^^ ignore the spoiler (not in use anymore) just download the xml file and do as instructed :)

@Gossamer i noticed 2 operators not reacting (divide and subtract), in the meanwhile we can just add them in the "Operators1" under "Operators & Delimiters" on User Defined Language dialog.

[Sanjo 1]

Hi,

I did some improvements:

• Added all missing functions (based on https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands)
  
• Added all BIS_fnc_* functions (in an extra keyword field)
  
• Added missing operators (the word versions too)
  
• Added support for block folding
  
• Added player, _x and _forEachIndex to magic words
  

Have fun with it. Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x37r92umbpgxcx8/ArmA3.xml

It would be nice if you could link it in your initial post and update it on Armaholic etc. (Just additionally credit me please)

awesome! I love notepad++ and this just made it 10 times better

[Planetside 1]

Hey I tried to get this to work, but I've never had to import a custom language before because the languages I do know are already there. User defined does absolutely nothing in the languages drop down menu.
