Visual C++ for Tourqe script

by Robert Stewart · in Torque Game Engine · 02/28/2005 (10:37 am) · 8 replies

I was just wondering if any has setup Visual C++ for tourqe script, so it has syntax highlighting and / or auto completion. If so can you share how you did it. Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of, but you should really check out TBE the Torque Build environment. It uses eclipse, and there is also a TIDE eclipse plugin somwhere on these forums.

Between the two you have a complete crossplatform dev tool, for both the engine and the script. It's great!

I've tried adding a Torque language extension to Visual Studio but the big problem is VS (starting with 2003) thinks a .cs is a C# file. I haven't found an easy way around this problem. Currently I'm researching the in-game editor

The only solution to the extension problem so far is to change (cringe) torque's underlying code for script compiling.

You may want to check-out my latest .Plan because I have a list of editors to try there.

GVim also thinks that .cs files are C# files, and it colors them accordingly. It's actually a very good fit.

Has anyone ever tried changing all the .cs files to another extension? If not, I'm ready to. I love my VS.NET. :-D

Just to save trouble with cross-platform compatability, can someone confirm for me that both Macs and Linux support long extensions? I plan to use .torque
