Help Notepad++ User Defined Language

[Darkfire]

Who here uses notepad++ whe they are modding and might want a userdefined language that will check some syntax and stuff
ATM it is very basic but I would like people to start testing it etc.
As soon as I figure out how to send it to people P) I will upload the necessary stuff here along with an example file to show how it works.

Okay file is up
to add it to your languages open notepad++
go up to languages
godown to user defined language(another window appears)
goto import near the top left
load it just like you would a regular file
it will now show up below userdefined language on the drop down


As an example of how this looks when used here are three versions of Charmander.dat(the script that gives you cyndaquil) when this language is on

I am trying to do what you list, but when I click on User Defined, nothing comes up, if you can, help Dark.

 

[Darkfire]

I might have directed you to the wrong place
try "Define your language..."
Here are some images to help you



I will also updat the first image to include a demo image or 2 of the UDL in work

I don't have that option either, I only use the basics.

I find it a very convenient tool to have
especially with attacks and abilities being in lua(a supported script) and this user defined language feature
and many of the options it supports, etc
It is my default text editor....

 

[Lilligant]

What are the lua scripts for anyway, I haven't had the time to look at them.

There are:
Attacks.Lua which contains a list of all of the attacks
It lists the number for the attack , the name of the attavk, the description for the attack, and the file path to get the details for how the attack works in battle.

Abilities is the same but for abilities

Then there are folders for each one
attacks are split into folders for each type
each file allows a myriad of different details to be set
all of the base attacks are set it is just effects that need implementing

no abilities are implemented AON so........

Ok........................ And I think it was you, might have been Vade, but for my intro, I wanted to remove Oak's sprite, but nothing happens when I rub out his sprite and stuff on Paint.Net. I din't want that, as the rival is the one talking, not Oak.

[Lilligant]

Yes, I will try again. See if that works.

It is a syntax checker/code folder for the pokemon3d scripting language.
If you look at the images you will see the words chancged color
this does that only when the words meet specific conditions
also this alows you to fold up if statements and options so that when you finish them they can be reduced and held out of the way without actually moving the scripts
