Roland Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is there anyone using another LUA IDE than the built in. Nothing wrong with that one but its a bit limited. I'm not to familiar with what's out there and what suites Leadwerks nicely. Any suggestions? /Windows/ Quote AV MX Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Aswer to myself Found this one. Seems to be an extension to VS2013. Will test that one. Would be perfect for projects with both C++ and LUA https://babelua.codeplex.com/ Quote AV MX Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I use notepadd++ sometimes. The only thing you'll lose with these 3rd party ones is the debugging/stepping ability. I don't use that often myself but some might. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarovich Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm using Emacs. With settings that I've made, I have the following features: Auto-complete. I've added a custom-made dictionary file with LE classes and methods. Lua snippeting. I've made several snippeting templates - for generic loops, method definitions, etc. Syntax highlighting and auto-indentation. The latter is very, very useful: it's enforced and you can easily detect missing construct parts. On the fly syntax error checking - so that even before running a LE game, I can tell if there is anything obviously wrong with my code. Plus, in the opposite window, I'm always keeping open a Lua console, so I can easily test various LUA constructs I'm not sure about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarovich Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Emacs has quite steep learning curve. I've been using it for various purposes for years now. If you want some quick and decent solution, I can only recommend Atom.io It's a modular editor based on package system. There is a nice package for Lua (you install it from the editor) which does syntax highlighting and auto-indentation. There are also packages for auto-completion and similar programming necessities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehankinator Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I've not tried it yet but Microsoft released "Visual Studio Code", a free cross platform code editor. Looks pretty slick. https://code.visualstudio.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
