Arma 3 Notepad++ Syntax Highlighting

Yet another but this time hybrid A2 A3 syntax higfhlighter for Notepad ++ http://killzonekid.com/arma-2-arma-3-hybrid-syntax-highlighter-for-notepad/

This is brilliant. Just what was needed :) Scripts are now much easier to read and write.

Did you manage to implement the folding feature ? Planning it ? What about function references in Notepad++? Planned ?

reason i ask is is still use the very old Arma Script recoded plugin, which has all these nifty features, and a bit more, but is lacking in the AR;A 3 new commands section :-)

cheers

awesome

Great addon, been using it since I was born. :)

Good to have an updated list.

And I'd have a question. When I click on an .sqf in my filemanager, Notepad loads it okay, but I need to select language SQF for the first script to load my colors. Oherwise they are all black. What may cause this? (I'm also using the ancient ArmaScript plugin with project management and some handy functions)

I have found a relatively easy way to open a script command's Biki webpage directly from Notepad++ by using the Language Help plugin:

1. Install the latest Language Help plugin for Notepad++ (currently 1.50) available on this page

2. Open Language Help options.

3. Click Add...

Example entry data:

Name:

Search Biki

Extension/file mask:

*.sqf;*.sqs;*.sqm

Extended help file path:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=Special%3ASearch&search=$word$

4. Set up other options to suit your preferences (either Ctrl+F1, context menus or toolbar icon)

The end result is right clicking on any script command in Notepad++, choose help, Biki page opens :)

I tried folding but since {} is used for other things too it gets messed up. At the moment I'm quite happy how it turned out and the colour coding, so apart from updating it with new commands (which I already did BTW) I think I'll leave it alone.

Had another go at folding and it worked. Updated with folding option for {} and [] http://killzonekid.com/arma-2-arma-3-hybrid-syntax-highlighter-for-notepad/

Thanks a lot for this. I always use Monokai though, so I changed the style a bit to be more like Monokai (A bit more different colors though) Here's a link

If you want to use that you can edit userDefineLanguage.xml and replace the default styles part for the SQF user language by this. Don't use notepad++ though. Just use regular notepad or so. If you use Notepad++ the file resets itself everytime you restart notepad++

Here is a screenshot

Thanks for the update.

Any chance of getting nearEntities/Objects (and related commands) accepting an x and y format for detecting objects/entities in the area of a square/rectangle? I know triggers already sorta have this functionality available, but I don't want to use a trigger.

Latest Notepadd++ has a nice new feature:

Enhance delimiter selection (Ctrl + Mouse Double Click) - add GUI settings in Preferences dialog.

By default it's set to ( and ) but if changed to { and } and tickmark multiline finally a fast and easy way to see if the pairs match.

Is there a way for other files like sqm to use this sqf highlighting?

Yes

Open "Language" menu

select "Define Your Language"

"User Defined Language" dialogue opens

In "User Language" drop down menu select "ArmaSQF" (or whatever your version is called)

Add SQM to the "Ext." field

Much appreciated!

Thanks guys, to all the chaps involved.

I can't import the language. The error message is: "Fail to import". Does anyone know how to fix it?

Last Np++, copied the xml file on my desktop and imported in Np++

It isn't the plugin from the OP, but it may be useful as an alternative (in fact, I originally found it from this thread over a year ago!):

Killzone_Kid's Np++ SQF language file

I find it works well, and he does continue to update it.

Sounds awesome, gonna try this when im back home ;)

Sub'd for future reference. Thanks!
