Bad Pilot 0 Posted April 23, 2009 I use Chris Henderson's "ArmA Edit" program for my scripts. It's great as far as it goes - and I probably would never have begun scripting without it - but I need more. My biggest problem and the one that costs me more time than any other thing is missing/extra ';' and '{' and '}'. I edit, save, compile, copy, load, start ArmA, create server, get an error, press ALT-F4... and back to edit. It's worse if I'm testing a client/server issue and have to get the mission onto my dedicated test server because I've got to get out of my chair twice to shutdown/start the server in another room. I've begun writing my own editor but I'm never going to finish it. Then I thought about making a quick syntax checker which would scan all the scripts, highlighting errors before I go to compile them. That would save me hours every week. So, has anybody done any work on syntax checking? Or intellisense? Integrating the mission map into the scripting environment? Chris H., are you doing any more on ArmA Edit? Can I extend it..?

.kju 3245 Posted April 23, 2009 You really need to check dev heaven and ofpec. :D Try NP++ with i0n0s ArmA script extension Personally I love EditPadPro. Code folding, brackets matching. Works very nicely. cfgConvert from BI tools suite can format and partially fix your configs very nicely. I am working on the code formatter uncrustify in combination with cfgConvert.There will be a wiki guide available soon. Check the Community Modding Bible arcticle on SimplifyTesting. :bounce3: PS: We have a skype group channel you might be interested in joining to discuss topics like these.
