Finding a good IDE for torque script

by metalion · in Torque Game Engine · 02/08/2006 (10:21 am) · 9 replies

Just began messing with the torque script files, using visual studio for some initial tests it's been ok... but browsing the CS files without help is a nightmare!

I've noticed there are quite some torquescript IDEs arround, but, either they miss key features like autocompletion/intellisense, or they're in alpha state...

the ones I've seen are these:

Tribal IDE
JEdit / TIDE
torquedev / codeweaver
Brain Edit Pro
Torsion

Do I miss any?

does JEdit has intellisense/autocompletion? I'm lost in the options.

Torsion looks promising, but it is in alpha state...

I'm new, and I wouldn't not like to begin a flame war on which is the best editor... just want to get a good editor that makes my life easier learning torquescript

Thanks in advance

Metalion - I have been using codeweaver for hte last couple weeks and it has easily shaved a good 5 - 10% of my production time off.

I would suggest it personally. Though Torsion looks just as good.

I've used all of those except for TIDE and Brain Edit Pro and Codeweaver is the one I've stuck with. I do still keep Tribal around also, its nice to take a quick look at a random script if I don't want to wait for an IDE to load.

No, JEdit doesn;t come with the SDK. I like Codeweaver, except for one thing, which makes me not use it. I was direct filesystem access, Torsion gives me that but not the features of Codeweaver. So, i use an aio (all-in-one) solution. Eclipse with every plugin you can possibly find. As for Tribal IDE, its kinda outdated last i heard. As for Brain Edit Pro, never used it.

@Chris - If you could, ping me with the specific Codeweaver features you would like to see in Torsion. We're making the final push to a feature complete Beta release now.

Tom - It would be really nice if when you used find, it put the focus on the text box... and tabbed to the replace with box (if using replace).

That's the only thing I really hate.

Brian - You double posted because you refreshed the screen without first navigating away and then back to this page.
