Crimson Editor Syntax Files - MMOBUGS

[PeteSampras]

Crimson Editor is one of many free text editors that can make your life easier when writing or editing macros. I use it and like it. The syntax files that are on the main mq2 site are lacking all the MMOBugs TLO/members and have some other missing stuff. I updated a lot of the syntax files for what i use personally, but it is missing some that I dont regularly use.

Download Emerald Editor from SourceForge.net

Then you can add in the .key and .spc files into the /spec/ directory.

I alternate between MAC and MAC2 views. They each highlight everything identically except variables. MAC highlights variables as a whole, while MAC2 only highlights the TLO/Members of the variables. It makes it easy to see if you have a valid TLO member or not. Again, the list is based off my personal use, so I am missing some TLO/Members and UI windows. Feel free to post lists of commonly used window names or TLO/members. Everything is Case Sensitive. MerchantWnd is not the same as merchantwnd. I put the actual case sensitive names of things in.

.key and .spc are invalid file types for uploading, so I threw them in a .zip

EDIT: Tossed a pic up of what it looks like.

Very nice, Pete. Just got it all set up. This will definitely make things a bit easier.

Sweet, thanks for sharing these with us Pete. I love Crimson Editor, and had modified the MQ2.com files a bit to include a few things that I found missing. I'm sure your files are much more inclusive, so I'll definitely give them a shot.

Does Crimson Editor have a function list? Don't see one in your screenshot but don't know if you have it disabled or not. I've been using Ultra Edit for a while myself, but it's got some quirks about it that are annoying. Wouldn't mind trying out a different editor but the function list is one thing I wouldn't want to give up. Makes navigating large macros a lot easier.

No dev, its a pure text editor. There may be a plugin for function lists, I have no idea. It doesnt have all the IDE/intellisense stuff you are going to find in some other apps. I only code macros and sometimes look at mq2 .cpp/.h, so i've never need a function list for my purposes. But i have VS2010 when i want to actually do c++ since I need to compile it anyway and intellisense is super effective!

I've been using cloud9 and my github repo for my macros recently. I like that editor and it supports ssh'ing to a directory. It is pretty easy to add highlighting to a language in it.

For local, it looks like Crimson Editor plugin has better syntax highlighting than the Notepad++ settings. Thanks Pete.

Thanks ! I've been using notepad++ but I'll definitely give this a whirl this week. It'd be nice to more easily see when you've screwed up.

Im sure notepad++ can do everything crimson can. Crimson just happens to be the one I use, so i posted my personal .key and .spc files. It's probably not any better than the other ones out, I was just providing the syntax files in case someone else uses it. I'm certain you can create all the custom highlighting in the other text editors. I just tried Crimson as my first editor, liked it, and used it instead of trying the others. For all I know, I am missing out on a much better one!

Pretty sure there was a custom syntax file for notepad++ over on macroquest2.com as well.

Though, it would probaably need some updates just like Pete has done with this one.

It may be better. Notepad++ is pretty awesome. The point is, you did the work already and it's up to date Thanks. Downloading it now

Notepad++, and Crimson updated files?

Necro Posting like a boss. So I've been coding with NP++ and found it quite hard on my eyes. So I went to the user defined languages and setup my own that seems to be doing pretty good. I did spot the one on macroquests2.com but It gave me a headache tbh. I prefer darker settings.


This is my user defined languages file. Which I found at C:\Users\UserNameHere\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++

Might notice I have Pull.mac and Pull1.mac up...that's because I never edit my working code. I always make a copy and break that one
