SciTE-WOWInterface

Version: 0.8

by: Cladhaire [More]

This is a re-package of the popular ScITE editor (based on the scintilla editing component). You can find more information about SciTE at http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html. Some of the customization is from the package at http://gisdeveloper.tripod.com/scite.html , but those just amount to some configuration files that have been altered. 've adjusted some of the preferences and added the bulk of the WoW API with prototypes and descriptions as pop-up calltips (you can see a few examples in the attached screenshots).

One thing you will want to adjust is the window placement and size. Unfortunately SciTE does not save window positions (it was originally designed for GTK+, where the window manager saves the position). You can do this by opening the global properties file:

Open SciTE
Select the Options Menu
Select "Open Global Options File"

You'll want to edit the following options (0,0 is in the top left of the screen)

position.left
position.top
position.height
position.width

CHANGELOG
=================================
* Re-compiled lua, luac and bitlib so they should all work and operate together with no license restrictions
* Added the bitlib functions to the lua calltips
* Re-packaged the entire distribution from scratch to be a bit more efficient and easier to make quick packages
* Updated SciTE to version 1.70 (the latest version)
* Compile action will compile to FileName.luc
* Build action will do a no-output compile testing for errors
* Go action will execute the LUA using the interpreter

Thanks for this editor Cladhaire, it my personal favorite for working on my mods, but its only for lua 5.0. I have a few syntax problems on the current 2.0 test realm, and was curious if you will be updating it to lua 5.1?

If not, is it possible for a semi cluelless newb like myself to update the files?

I haven't decided entirely, but you can replace the lua 5.0 binaries using the binaries cogwheel has compiled here on WoWInterface. Just put these files in the bin/ directory. As for the API update.. I don't know I'll be getting to that any time soon, but we'll see if I get time at work.

How do I implement that? How do I apply it to the folders and things?

This is just what I did to fix things up... your mileage may vary

1) get Lua 5.1 here:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloa...ua5.1.1WoW.html

2) edit your lua.properties and modify the command.go.* line to the following:
command.go.*.lua=bin\lua.exe -l "lib\wow" "$(FileNameExt)"

3) move your SciTE-WOWInterface\lib directory to SciTE-WOWInterface\bin\lib

4) modify wow.lua to not load bitlib unless it's missing:
if not bit then
local lib = package.loadlib("lib\bitlib.dll", "luaopen_bit")
assert(lib)
lib()
lib = nil
end

(optionally just remove the whole bitlib stuff - since bitlib is included with cogwheel's binaries)

How do I go about doing this exactly? I mean once you get 5.1 then what? do I have to move the lau5.1.exe and lauc5.1.exe files somewhere? or rename them? what about the bin2c5.1.exe and the lua5.1.dll?

Help I am pretty clueless about this stuff and I am just learning.

I have programmed in several different languages (C++, VB, java, etc...) but I have never had to setup something like this to do it

I only recommend Lua version 5.1.1 compiled for this specific purpose:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...a5.1.1WoW.html

You are using a different Lua package (probably the official one) if you have files with those names.

Take Lua.exe and Luac.exe from the correct package (in lua511wow-1.7.zip\lua511wow\msvc\release) and use those files to replace the 2 files with the same names which are present in the directory "SciTE-WOWInterface\bin".

If you are "zomg keylogger" worried you can compile the binaries yourself using Visual Studio (and check the source code too).

These are free tools developed for a very limited project and take a little bit of effort to work with rather than your copies of VS.net and Eclipse which have a huge number of contributors. The hard work doesn't end here as SciTE doesn't provide many autocompletion features.

Hallithron A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 23 File comments: 25 Uploads: 3	So, this may be a silly question, but is there a way to get the WoW API integrated into SciTE in Linux? I see some files for the API floating around, and if it's a matter of compiling something via pseudo-conventional means, I probably have the know-how to get it done. If there's a way I can just insert the WoW API, though, that would make things a great deal simpler for me! __________________ Author: SolaceBuffDisplay SolaceStones

You just need to add the wow.api file, and then load it in the Lua properties file. It's just a matter of getting that file, which is out of date, and I no longer have an easy way to access.

SciTE that is packaged here is Lua 5.1. There would be another issue. Can you post the code on pastey.net or something so we can look?
