Onno 22 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I'm looking for a plug-in/extension that will allow me to use syntax highlighting when editing SQF files. Does anyone know if this exists for VS2010 or 2012? (I've seen it for UE and Notepad++, but not VS) Does anyone have a link?. (looking for the terms 'arma visual studio highlighting' or 'sqf visual studio highlighting' did not yield any viable results on either google or this forum) Edited September 13, 2013 by Onno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 155 Posted September 14, 2013 Hey there was a program call squint that worked great for arma2 SQF but after one of the last game updates or somthing it stop working for me I never really look into why! See if the program is still around And working. It may be worth a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onno 22 Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks. I already found out about squint. However, that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want yet-another-editor for yet-another-tiny-language. I'm looking for VS (or very maybe eclipse) support, not a limited editor like squint. Also, Notepad++ or UE are not really options to me, as that would boil down to yet-another-editor for me.

ceeeb 147 Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) It's extremely unlikely it exists. Visual Studio is expensive software that casual home users would never buy, and adding custom language support is far more demanding than it is for a simple text editor. There is also some support for free IDEs: Eclipse, NetBeans Edited September 15, 2013 by ceeeb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[aps]gnat 28 Posted September 15, 2013 Notepad++ or UE are not really options to me, as that would boil down to yet-another-editor for me. Well, sorry, they are certainly more common and well used than your "yet-another-editor". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onno 22 Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) @[APS]Gnat: I have access to VS through MSDNAA, and it has become my favourite editor by far. Netbeans is second, and Eclipse a close third after Netbeans. NP++ and UE are just not in the same ballpark for me. I've used them in the past, and they lack many functions I want in an editor. Both in the editing and in the options to support tools. @.kju [PvPscene] & ceeeb: thnx :) [EDIT] I've been using ArmADEV for a couple of days now, and it is absolutely awesome. Thanks for the heads-up! :) Edited September 28, 2013 by Onno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
