You have a very strange monitor setup. Vertical over a horizontal?

It is actually side by side… the screen shot just came out that way for some reason???

You’re using lots of fancy tools there. I just use:

  • Notepad++
  • Blender
  • GIMP

I’m probably missing loads of tricks…

Heh. Yeah pretty much the same.

Got me about 7 or 8 things flying around in the background wide open at any one instance.

Like rn I’ve got my wonderful ZeroBrane, ROT viewer, Excel, ScriptDev, Notepad ++, Paint.net, Lua Editor, Cold Fusion HOD, and God knows how many little explorer windows open lol

#6

What advantage do those Lua tools have over notepad++? Do they make scripting / error catching easier?

#7

It does for me. There are lots of little things I enjoy… some of which may be in notepad++ as well…

Eclipse for LUA is free… you should just download and try and see for yourself. Phillips head or Flat head… they are both just tools.

I use 3 editors at any given time for the same programming effort. Eclipse, UltraEdit, and notepad. I just use the parts I find work well for me… in the end it is all about the final outcome. If a tool has something that can save me time, or make my life easier I am all for it.

I’d call that a good start… :wink:

This example only slightly dramatized for effect. missing are the two dozen explorer windows I usually have open, half of them looking at the same directory >_<

multiple sublime, notepad++, at least 10 explorer windows, excel, 3-4 powershell windows and soooooo many chrome tabs

explorer windows multiply until I just kill the whole stack, I finally just added a toolbar with 5 working directory shortcuts

haha i have powershell scripts to do everything… backup files and copy over to HW dir at same time… launch apps and set up for development. etc etc. love it!

#11

Ruby is my go-to for scripting if I need to script something, personally

#12

I got really close with my audio pipeline to just writing c# code in powershell scripts to handle the file manipulations, iterators are great things. I didn’t take that plunge though

#13

I find Eclipse’s color coding system helps me focus. I use it to do most of my scripting stuff.

And I find ZeroBrane’s really good and fast. So I use it when poking around in the build and research files and all the other main library files.

ScripDev’s the weakest one. But I use it to focus only on icons and stuff. Because I can’t handle having too many tabs open and don’t want to forget my train of thought.

I use Notepad ++ for editing ship files. So all my double-clicks on ship files in explorer get fast-opened in that one.

Anyone use Visual Studio Code for their modding? I tried to get it set up but it won’t recognise anything that’s not a *.lua file as LUA so it’s been unhelpful so far :thinking:

Sticking with notepad++ until I figure it out I guess?

#15

Could this help?

A lot of people appear to use Notepad++, personally I use ATOM with a lua plugin

#16

I got a LUA language plugin already, and it highlights things well. I was hoping to make something with all the HWRM functions in it (autocomplete style) but that seems a bit beyond me :stuck_out_tongue:

Might shelve this one methinks

#17

i have that in my eclipse… auto complete on HWRM functions and auto document. Been meaning to post a quick vid but super busy these days.
