Scripters tools preferences

[holo89 10]

simple question. I saw that many tools (IDE) were adapted or made from scratch for sqf scripting.

I post here because I'd like to know what tool You, mission editor and scripter are actually using for Arma 3?

Personnally I use the notepad++ syntax, but I saw squint and Eclipse with ArmaDev addin, and none seems to have a Arma 3 version yet.

I'd like your expertise on that. I wish to switch to one better than Notepad++

thanks,

Holo

A great starting tool is ArmAEdit. It's a little dated now but mostly works still. Some of the wizards, like sounds in description.ext are still quite valuable.

Personally I never liked Notepad++ but I have totally fallen in love with Sublime Text 2. It's nagware and not free but well worth the cost as far as programming editors is concerned.

I personally just use NotePad++ with this syntax highlighting.

+1 for NotePad++ and the syntax highlighting addon.

Same again. Notepad ++ makes editing much easier

Yeeee NotePad++

Yep notepad++ for me. I used to use ArmAEdit but got sick of re-installling it daily to fix the locked-minimized problem.

ok looks like notepad++ is à la mode!

Thanks for your input!

anyone using Squint anymore for Arma 3?

But Arma Edit is still handy for anyone starting off

Never really got into Notepad++, but I too have been addicted to Sublime Text 2/3. It's got plugins with syntax highlighting for nearly every language imaginable, including SQF, and is in general a blast to use.

I'm in love with Notepad++ with SQF highlight

I will probably try SubLime Text later.

Not sure if this applies to ArmA; but also use Notepad++ because with editing Flight Sims, there were often small errors if you use the standard Notepad or other simple text editors that were almost undetectable (forgot the specifics).

I believe notepad is the only good thing microsoft have done

Notepad++ since a few years already. It's great.
