Using SciTE with LÖVE

If you are using SciTE to develop LÖVE games, you might find the following useful:
Add this line to lua.properties: (open it via the menu: Options -> Edit Properties -> Open lua.properties)
Code: Select all
command.go.main.lua=love "$(FileDir)"
make sure you are root -- run gksudo scite (if you use Gnome).
This will run LÖVE if you press F5, but only if the opened file is main.lua.
(If you have other tips & tricks for SciTE, please share!)

Very useful, speeds up development and reduces window switching.

These were linux instructions, use the full path to the love exe on windows.

I can't do it in windows, tried every kind of mix i can think of but still throwing me
">lua5.1 "main.lua"
>The system cannot find the file specified."
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev\LOVE\=love "$(FileDir)"
What's wrong ?

That space on the path looks suspicious.
Have you tried putting the "C:\... " between quotes?
If that doesn't work, you might try
adding the LOVE folder to your PATH. Then you will just have to use love "$(FileDir)", like the linux guys.
Or, you can try installing LOVE on a less "special" folder (with no spaces or special characters on it)

You'd need
Code: Select all
command.go.main.lua="C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev\LOVE\love.exe" "$(FileDir)"

Hey, it's been 6 month but i finally got love working with scite
Just modify the end of lua.properties like this :
Code: Select all
# compatible with LuaBinaries for Lua 5.1; will work on both platforms.
##command.compile.*.lua=luac5.1 -o "$(FileName).luc" "$(FileNameExt)"
# Lua 5.1
##command.go.*.lua=lua5.1 "$(FileNameExt)"
# Lua 4.0
#command.go.*.lua=Lua-4.0.exe -c -f "$(FileNameExt)"
command.go.main.lua="C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev\LOVE\love.exe" "$(FileDir)"
I only commented the default lua binaries/5.1/4.0 commands and added the last line.
Just make sure you put your own path to love.exe and your lua file is called "main.lua".
Or just put "command.go.*.lua" in place of "command.go.main.lua".
I hope this will help.
Next year i'll probably find how to make something moving on the screen !
