This is a syntax highlight thingy for a few of the ZDoom special lumps to be used with Notepad++ or TextPad. The supported lumps are:

Code: Select all

----------------------------------------------------
| Lump     | Extensions (Notepad++) | Notes        |
|----------|------------------------|--------------|
| ACS      | .acs                   |              |
|----------|------------------------|--------------|
| DECORATE | .dec                   | Discontinued |
|----------|------------------------|--------------|
| MAPINFO  | .zmap                  |              |
|----------|------------------------|--------------|
| ZSCRIPT  | .zsc .zc .zs           |              |

ACS auto-completion for Notepad++ - by boris (Optional)

Here is how to use:

(the following instructions concern Notepad++. For instructions on how to use it with TextPad, see here.)

Download the linked file and extract the .xml files contained within somewhere on your machine.

(The files with the "dk" suffix are for a dark theme/style, and the ones with "lt" are for a light one. So go with what suits you.)
Start Notepad++ up and from the menu toolbar: Language --> Define your language...
In the User Defined Language window, click on Import and navigate to where you extracted the .xml files. Choose a file to import.

And that's it! If your file has one of the extensions from the table above, the syntax will be applied automatically on the file when it's opened. You can, of course, force the syntax on any file regardless of extension by choosing the language from the Language menu (it should be at the very bottom of the list).

Note: if after import you don't see the language in the Language menu, then just do a restart of the program.

Thanks very much. It works great.

Haha wow, totally forgot that I had a hand in the original definition... my brain is failing! XD Thanks for this BlueShadow!

Thanks a ton dude, this is amazing. Especially after I changed the colours to suit my black background

I don't suppose anyone fancies converting this to a Textpad SYN file do they?

I currently use the C highlighting and it works pretty well to be honest but an ACS specific setup would be nice if anyone fancied doing it.

Oooooh! Handy! My old text editor software has changed a lot and the stuff I have is out of date. This is perfect for my needs! Thanks!

Here you go.

I suppose you already know how import/use the configuration?

Edit: I almost forgot, for the coloring part: Keywords 2 is for functions, Keywords 3 is for constants, and Keywords 1 is for pretty much any other keywords.

Yes I do, and it works like a charm. Thank you.

Added one for DECORATE. Also, in addition to the standard, light theme, a dark one is available.

I used to select C for the scripts, but this is so much nicer.
Thanks.

Same here.

Unfortunately I can't think of a nicer way to force Decorate styling for arbitrary filenames. I have literally hundreds of actor files across several projects, and changing the extensions on those would be a pain in the arse.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a way to force language detection from an opening comment? Perhaps needing a plugin?

It's not that I don't know how to do it. I think Notepad++ is a great editor and there should be a way to make its features extension-agnostic.

Also I sometimes reach Gez levels of laziness.
