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

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

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.
