QC support for Notepad++
Posted: Thu May 05, 2016 6:31 am
This tutorial will allow Notepad++ to populate the Function List with QC functions.
The functions needs to be in one of the following formats; semicolons are optional:
It won't work for functions in the formats void () example = {}; and void () example {}; yet.
Go to the folder where Notepad++ is installed, and open the file functionList.xml .
Insert this line before the line </associationMap>:
Now, insert this section before the line </parsers>:
And here's a file for syntax highlighting. Right-click on this link and choose the "Save link as..." context menu item: NotepadPlusPlus_QC_highlighting.
Some notes on this syntax highlighting file:
- It includes a hack to highlight preprocessor directives. FrikQcc 2.6 supports these: #include #includelist #define #undef #ifdef #ifndef #else #endif #pragma #warning #error.
- Since builtins can be freely named, standard builtin functions' names are in regular color, but in bold format.
- Constants are in green; this includes variables usually treated as constants, like MOVETYPE_WALK.
- Constant strings have a background color to help tracking them across whitespaces, and vectors are underlined for the same reason.
- Flow control commands (switch case default if else break return do while) use a specific color to make it easier to track instruction flow.
- System globals are in bold dark blue, and system fields are in regular dark blue.
- System global functions and system field functions (.void) are in regular blue.
- Data types are in light blue, to help them stand out.
- Operators and separators are in red. The contrast between red, blue and black makes the separators easier to notice, while being easy on the eyes.
- Line comments have a yellow background, but multi-line comments doesn't, because colored backgrounds on multiline comments is distracting when in header-style text. To compensate for this, multi-line comments are in bold gray.
- Macro sections are in bold with a slightly dark blue color, to differentiate their operators from regular ones.

Code: Select all
void example () { };
void example () = { };
void example () = [$framemacro, thinkfunction] {};Go to the folder where Notepad++ is installed, and open the file functionList.xml .
Insert this line before the line </associationMap>:
Code: Select all

I was waiting this for a looong time since Notepad++ is my only tool to write qc code. As soon I can get my pc back I'll post my impressions
