1. Did you find any other command bugging out?

I still haven't written any actual code. I just tested the addonfiles from before and just happened to test player.

addonfiles was definitely out of order (it was below some other command like "addonOwner" or something. Probably because of the case sensitivity issue), but I'm not sure what's wrong with player.

2. { and } are included in Folding in code 1 entries, under Folder & Default tab. ?, yeah, that's probably from sqs...

That's weird. NP++ was showing them like purple characters for me (the color I use as the default style, like the old version). Maybe a bug in NP++.

addMPEventHandler
addMusicEventHandler
addonFiles
addOwnedMine
addPlayerScores

...

playAction
playActionNow
player
playerRespawnTime
playerSide

 

Everything in alphabetical order but it freaks out after n and e because the menu in N++ is giving priority to upper case letters. Not sure if this was the same in previous version of N++.

{, } and operators as well as default style itself are set to adopt global colors. So either from something in Settings\Style Configurator >> Global Styles or your theme itself. Every theme actually also has different colors for every language not just stuff under global styles (this shouldn't affect user defined languages but 🤷‍♂️).

 

Side note: restart N++ after changes. Live tuning can work for some things but not for everything.

Interesting. I'll check it out.

Yeah. I always do it just to be safe.

 

Anyway, thanks for putting up with me buddy. I know I nitpick a little too much! 🙂

Sure thing bud, my ocd can be pretty bad as well sometimes. Besides, you're always very detailed in reports so it makes it easy.

| is still missing from the list of operators (|| is the same as OR).


Also, I'm not sure if it's just me, but autocompletion appears to be completely broken this time. There is less than 10 commands in the autocompletion dialog for every letter I type (a b c ...). Can you verify please?

Sorry, my bad. Apparently, keeping multiple SQF styles breaks autocompletion. Removing the others fixed it.

I forgot to mention guys, you can also install user defined languages manually by copying "Language and Theme\SQF.xml" into "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs" folder. That way you can have each language in their own file, separate. Can be easier to manage if you use custom themes.

If you import them through N++, then all user defined languages are bundled into one file "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml".

ReadMe will reflect that with next Arma 3 update, whenever that is. Although, could be sooner if @Leopard20 finds some burdens for me in the meantime. 😄

Hi,

Could you please add the latest commands from the dev branch as well:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Introduced_with_Arma_3_Development_Branch

There's gonna be an update soon (most likely by the end of this week) and I don't think there are gonna be any new commands.

BTW, please add the \ operator too; it's used as the line continuation character in preprocessor lines (I totally forgot to mention this the last time)
Edit: the : operator is missing as well. (used in switch do cases)

Done.

That one wasn't missing. For me, its highlighting as per global default style like the rest of operators.

I absolutely love this plugin as Notepad++ is my goto for most things.

 

I am having a weird problem with the latest version. I don't know if it is caused by Notepad++ or this plugin. While editing, especially when cutting out text, the style will sometimes change from the cursor down. It makes all text below it blue. Sometimes, less commonly, it will make it all gray (comment) or just turn one line above the cursor gray, but there is no comment on that line. If I go to Language and down to 'sqf' which is already selected, then click it again, the style is fixed. Also reopening the file will fix it. I do not have any custom styles in notepad++. It's a clean install from a week ago. Does this happen to anyone else? Any idea how to fix it? Thanks!

@AZCoder, thanks, yeah that's a Notepad++ issue and only w/ 64-bit version iirc. Do you run the x64 one as well? Reload from Disk (Ctrl + R by default) fixes it but you do obviously have to save first (Ctrl + S). Custom hotkeys can be set in "Settings >> Shortcut Mapper...".

Yeah it's 64. Thanks for the shortcut tip.

Any other link, please? like dropbox... Google drive is a little bit... intrusive. Hard time for privacy.

Hmm, that didn't age well. I'll look into alternative mirrors for the future at some point but only downloading from Gdrive shouldn't too much of a hazard for now. One can use uBlock Origin and StevenBlack's static hosts filtering to control what domains are allowed to connect to. Google has more then one element to it.
