SciTE-WOWInterface  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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

yeah... no love.

It appears to structure things a bit differently, and too differently from how I was able to piece things together in a few minutes to make things make sense.

I haven't actually noticed anything in your release that's made things busted for me, but then I basically just use it as an editor and do a /console reloadui when I need to test stuff.

As an aesthetic (and laziness) thing, I deleted the new version, as it looks with it's fontiness, and the horridly long dropdown menu for opening properties files.

Yes, I am *that* lazy.

I have no idea, you would have to tell me. I doubt it, however.

or something like that?
If you're using cogwheel's distro, yes.

But now, I have a new error message:
bin\lua.exe: C:\Program Files (x86)\SciTE\lib\wow.lua:1: attempt to call global 'loadlib' (a nil value)
Do not use wow.lua at all. If you removed the -l wow.lua from teh two commands, it won't be loaded at all and shouldn't be.

lua.exe fails to find/load the wow.lua file
Yes, because of the way the load system changed.

Open lua.properties and remove the -l wow.lua from the commandline.

Thanks for the help Cladhaire.

So the missing piece was to change the command.go line in Lua.properties to:

command.go.*.lua=bin\lua.exe "$(FileNameExt)"

No, not if the files are placed and renamed correctly. It should "just work".

That doesn't matter.. that's just a factor of the way they were compiled.
