ZScript Plugin for Eclipse?
Has anyone considered creating one? I know practically nothing about Eclipse plugins, but from what I've seen of Eclipse it seems like it would be perfect for creating a syntax highlighting ZScript editor.
....and if the ZC developers enabled us to compile scripts without opening ZQuest (or can we already do that? I haven't figured it out yet...)...well, then we could compile directly from a friendlier editor...
Just curious.
(I guess if I learned ZASM I wouldn't have to compile at all!)
Although I know nothing about Eclipse, you could use the C syntax with minor modification (mostly need to add a bunch of keywords).Originally Posted by ScaryBinary
Nope.
Of course you would. ZASM is human readable text, which is not what the computer likes to read.(I guess if I learned ZASM I wouldn't have to compile at all!

I do script requests!
The ZScript compiler almost stands alone (after all it just compiles ZScript to ZASM) so a stand-alone compiler is definitely feasible post-2.50 if someone has a sufficiently strong interest in it. Incidentally if anybody wants to make their own independent ZScript compiler (or wants to take a stab at ZJava or something) I'll be happy to give you the bison grammar files to get you started.
ZQuest will get a completely new, modern, non-suck GUI... eventually, if those dang bugs stop crawling out of the woodwork...
