Notepad++ Event Syntax Highlighting

[Xifanie]

How to add it:

• Download the attached file


• In Notepad++, Select Language/Define your language...


• Then click the Import button near the top left and choose FFT_Events_UDL.xml

How to use it:

• Select Language then FFT Events at the very bottom

How to make it auto-load with defined file types:

• In Language/Define your language... there is an Ext. box. You can just type the extension there. I already added evt, so ideally you should name your event files *.evt


• You could always set it to .txt, but I don't recommend it unless you plan to use notepad++ exclusively for FFT events

Warning: If you only ever use event.txt and want to use event.evt instead, you'll have to edit your event compiler's CONFIG.INI accordingly.

This is awesome and will definitely be a world of change for me when it comes to quickly jumping between parts of an event

You rock Xiffie

are u converting the evtchr.bin file to an .xml to get all that ? when i loaded in your file to notepad++ it didnt give me hundreds of lines with the convo text to edit ??
any help appreciated, TY !

no, EVTCHR is for EVTCHR...

This is for events (which are in TEST.EVT)

so... sorry i know i sound dumb. but , the test.evt you import into notepad++ to edit for CDmage import ? or

i have had success so far in shishi, graphics gale, fftevgrp, cdmage, fftactext, fftorgasm, and fftpatcher (obv)
but editing the convo in this game has been p.i.t.a.

ty!

Thanks for the detailed guide on setting up FFT Events in Notepad++. It seems straightforward and should be helpful for anyone dealing with these file types. Personally, I find Notepad++ quite versatile for coding and organizing different types of files.
Thanks again for sharing the setup instructions.
