Improved Notepad++ HPS Support

[Apjjm]

The old notepad++ files which most people have installed had faults. I have been slowly tweaking these files as I have used them. Today I decided to fully finish the job. Below is a list of fixes I have made:

Hps Language Definition File (hps.xml)

• Removed several unsupported functions
• Added 3 new functions which are supported as of 1.2 justine patch
• Added various missing supported type keywords (E.g uint)
• Added keywords for classes, interfaces, enumarates, typedef and funcdef and possibly others
• Removed "PlayerStartArea_" keyword
• Probably a couple of other things too
  

Hps user defined lang file (userdefinedlang.xml)

• Added folding regions (See sample hps file)
• Overhauled color coding
• Added appropriate color coding for all supported keywords
• Added color for OnStart, OnLeave, OnEnter and OnGameStart events
• Strings now have the escape char defined
  

Preview: Sample Script

I have also included a sample script file, and a text document containing installation instructions (note that these instructions will still work if you already have the current version installed - but you may have to restart notepad++ to see the changes take effect)

Download link (FIXED!)

I propose that we update the wiki with these new versions for the notepad++, but I feel I should ask the community first if you are happy with this, and if there are any alterations you would like to propose to the above files.

Edit (v1.2): Old download link "userdefinedlang.xml" missing 1 folding set because of swap with old link

Neat! I may give that a shot. I like the C++ style I'm working with though

By the way, I tried out your parsing functions in my sandbox map. REALLY need stuff dude, it cut out about 10 lines of code

thanks for this, the folding regions is something i've wanted for a long time. However, i'm struggling to import the userdefinedlang.xml it says 'import successful' but none of the features work, even after a restart of notepad :/ however, the hps.xml works great! I just need some help with the userlang.xml - thanks

Try removing any HPS entries (there might be two!) from the user-defined-dialogue window, re-add the new version, then restart notepad++. If that still doesn't work, I updated the zip again (v1.2 already - totally professional ), so try that version of the userdefinedlang.xml.

Cheers - the colouring is kind of a hybrid between the old style and c# - I find it really helps scan in long functions though.

Thanks, it really helps clear up any misleading functions. I've always forgotten the Justine command functions and had to look it up on the forum or a previous script I used it with.

I also recommend that when you do update the wiki (which I hope you will do), that you'll put an alternate link to the .hps format on this page for your modification:

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this, the folding regions are especially welcome.

I took the liberty to generate a tags file for Geany from your updated HPL2 functions list. It can be found here: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/thi...text/geany

Great job Apjjm! <3

I would update the wiki with this, but it appears I don't have permission to upload files to the wiki - either that or I am doing it wrong. If somebody else could try to add these it would be appreciated.
