Notepad++ Highlights and Auto-Completion
Posted: Wed Jun 19, 2013 1:23 pm
So I was searching around the net for the LÖVE plugins(APIs and highlights) for Notepad++ and found lua auto-complete&Highlights and LÖVE auto-complete&Highlights but the problem is that they weren't together meaning that if you were programing in LÖVE, notepad++ wont highlight Lua codes.
With that I spent a few minutes puting them in two files and here they are:
Auto-complete:
https://mega.co.nz/#!1xp1lQJD!RdozDVXHL ... 7xedDcQfcM
Highlights:
https://mega.co.nz/#!pgBRzBoT!NcZ9dn3hA ... tgUKMMlrNQ
How to install* them:
1. Download both .XMLs and put them wherever you want.
2. Copy/Cut "löve.xml" to notepad++ APIs folder, default is: "%programfiles%\notepad\plugins\APIs", you should see lots of other .XMLs just copy/cut it there.
3. Open Notepad++ go to "Settings"-->"Preferences.." and in the window that popped up press the Backup/Auto-Completion tab.
4. Check "auto-completion on each input" if not already and under it select "Function completion".
5. Again in the toolbar got to "View"-->"User-Defined Dialogue" and in the window that popped up click the button "Inport"
6. Another window should appear and from there find the file "LÖVE highlights v2 w lua.xml" which you have previously downloaded and press enter.
7. Restart Notepad++, click "New" and select "Language"-->"LÖVE".
8. That's all, start coding
(Original files can be found here [you do not need to download these, they are here just to credit the original creators]:
Original Lua 5.1 + LÖVE 0.8.0 Highlights post and used highlight .xml.
Original LÖVE auto-completion post and used LÖVE .xml.
Original Lua auto-completion Article (on Retro Effect) and used Lua .xml.)

Once again, I'm sorry if I broke any rules or something alike, I'm only a day old on this forum.
