Writing Scripts with Syntax Highlighting

[Felix-The-Ghost]

This is a UDL (User Defined Language) for the free code editor Notepad++

After installing it, your scripts will no longer look like this...



They will have syntax highlighting, making it much easier to write scripts!



To install this UDL, save the following text to your computer with the .xml file extension. E.G. cubescript.xml

Next, open up Notepad++ and click on the "View" menu up top (or push [ALT] + [V] on your keyboard to open it)

Now, select the "User-Defined Dialogue..." menu item.

Click on the "Import..." button and select the file you just saved (remember, the file needs to have the .xml file extension)

Click the "Open" button or push [Enter] and you've got it installed! You do, however need to restart Notepad++ for it to work. After you do this, any files you open with the .cfg extension will have syntax highlighting for the CubeScript language!

If you already had some files open during the installation process, you will either have to close and re-open those files or click on the "Language" menu ([ALT] + [L]) and select "CubeScript" from the bottom of the menu. You can also use this menu to disable syntax highlighting for the current file by choosing "User-Defined" instead of "CubeScript."
