Notepad++ Event Syntax Highlighting

Started by Xifanie, November 20, 2016, 07:53:28 pm

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.

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

<Raijinili> remember that? it was awful

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

You rock Xiffie

no, EVTCHR is for EVTCHR...

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

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.
