For those still looking for an editor, JEdit might work.

ZScripting Help
#1

Meant to post this back when I saw a thread on editors, but didn’t have time. JEdit seems to be mentioned only once on the site, and not in the scripting forum, so I thought I’d point it out.

Very capable editor written in 100% pure Java, so crossplatform. Emphasis on programming. Syntax highlighting, though I doubt if anyone was made up a ZScript syntax coloring file–but should be easy to do. Emphasis very much on a programming editor, but can be used for other things also. I have no association other than using it for most of my programming needs.

Check it out at:
http://jedit.sourceforge.net

Cheers,
Ken

Jedit is Great i used it for VRML for a while!

I like the Syntax hilighting…

Lately I have been useing Notepad++, it is Tabbed, and lots of languages supported like Jedit… you might wanna try… both Jedit and Notepad++ have lots of great features :slight_smile:

Anything is better than windows notepad :sunglasses:small_orange_diamond:+1:

At one time I think someone was talking about a Zscript Syntax hilighting editor… this was when I first started useing Zbrush …

Hi,
the best editor is (for me) UltraEdit, but it’s not freeware.
Try Crimson Editor (free), it’s very good.

SciTE.
It comes free with some software packages. I know DigitalFusion for sure(check the utilities folder). I am pretty sure there are some free ones. But you will just have to look. It is my Fav.
Most languages are already built in.
If not, you can even write your own defines/rules/etc for coding different file types (based on .ext ). I think there are even some free flashActionScript download versions.

I would also recommend UltaEdit32. I still preferr SciTe, but that is only because I started with it. In my opinion it is better for my scripting/programming needs. Ultraedit32 is much more as a package. It has fileCompare, HexEditors, Find/Replace for files in Directories/Subdirectories, and lots more.

Lots of good responses so far, this could prove to be a quite usefull thread.
I will download the links and try them now.

Thanks everyone.

I have spent time working with jedit, and it’s a pretty competent editor. It’s also easily extensible if you have the right skillset and the time to do so.

I’m new to these forums so I don’t know whether TextPad has been mentioned yet or not. It only runs on Windows but has some great features. I use it for all kinds of programming and it has loads of addons like syntax highlighting, clip libraries, recordable macros, etc… It’s very fast unlike most Java editors that I’ve tried. The one thing I wish it had that I like about NotePad++ is the code collapsing feature.

Anyway, hope somebody else can enjoy this editor as much as I have in the past. Be seeing you more often now that I have started checking out ZBrush.

EZ has a new release of his WYSIWYG ZScript editor. Click on the Large icon to download it. I really like his Autosave-NEW plugin.

Activestate Komodo, try too “Code:View as Language:TCL”.

Which provides Matching braces highlighting, block highlighting (Ctrl+]) of ZScripts.

No more lame 'end if’s; :slight_smile:
