Adding Notepad++ for Ren'Py

[Patibulaire]

Hi,

I am not Dev; i was looking to add Notepad++ in Ren'Py and there is a try.

Now it seem to work fine.
Download Link http://rapidshare.com/files/406149613/notepadpp.zip
Install : "Unzip here" notepadpp.zip in the Ren'Py folder. Open the Ren'Py launcher and in the menu Options select the current editor and choose Notepad++
You can modify the syntax color in notepad++, menu "Settings" > "Style configurator..." and select "Python"

I second the motion.
How can I change the default editor in renpy? I assume it's done outside the program, but I have no idea where to start.

In the Ren'Py launcher, menu Options by selecting the current editor (by exemple : jEdit) you can see the list of other editors found in the Ren'Py folder.

If you want to add an other editor by your own, look at the files "xxxx.editor.py" and "xxxx"
xxxx = name of the editor
Renpy scan the folders and use these files for load the editor

If you want to add an other editor by your own, look at the files "xxxx.editor.py" and "xxxx"

I did that, and manually edited the file. My very limited understanding got me a "Launching the editor failed" error.

Code: Select all

# Name: gEdit
# Version: 1
# Description: gEdit

import os
import os.path
import sys

editor = os.path.normpath(base + "/../gedit/bin/gedit.exe")
editor = renpy.shell_escape(editor)

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    config.editor = 'gedit.exe - jar "' + editor + '" -reuseview "%(filename)s" +line:%(line)d "%(otherfiles)s"'
    config.editor_transient = 'gedit.exe -exe "' + editor + '" -newplainview "%(filename)s" +line:%(line)d "%(otherfiles)s"'
else:
    config.editor = 'java - jar "' + editor + '" -reuseview "%(filename)s" +line:%(line)d "%(otherfiles)s"'
    config.editor_transient = 'java -jar "' + editor + '" -newplainview "%(filename)s" +line:%(line)d "%(otherfiles)s"'

I am under windows, i created a copy of the gedit folder in renpy, and added the file

gedit.editor.py

Code: Select all

# Name: gedit
# Version: 1
# Description: gedit

import os.path
import sys

editor = base + "/bin/gedit.exe"

editor = os.path.normpath(editor)
editor = renpy.shell_escape(editor)

config.editor = '"' + editor + '" "%(allfiles)s"'

and the file gedit

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$RENPY_GEDIT_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export gedit_HOME="`dirname \"$0\"`"

for i in "$gedit_HOME"/bin/gedit.*-*; do
    "$i" "$@" && exit 0
done

it work but i dont understand how work the last file (without the extension) because adding or not the /bin , gedit is loaded
(im stupid its for linux this file ahahah!)

Has anybody managed to set N++ to be used as the default editor under Windows? I even managed to set it up in one of the previous RenPy builds but with the new system of selecting the default editor I just don't know where to start.

Setting the Notepad++ to send the data from the currently open file to RenPy is easy (just adding a "D:\Program Files\renpy-6.9.2\renpy.exe" + "--game" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)") and works perfectly but as soon as I get any error reports RenPy calls jEdit (which I'm trying to avoid).

Edit: ok I finally managed to download the link from the first post (Rapidshare was blocking me before for some reason) and it also contains the whole N++ installation directory. So now it works, but the problem is, I already had N++ installed on my computer (and launching it from RenPy directory doesn't load all the settings etc that I already have predefined) so I tried changing the

Code: Select all

editor = base + "/notepadpp.exe"

to

Code: Select all

editor = "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"

but it doesn't really work...

I did it!!!! I got Ren'Py, NotePad++, and FunctionList working together!

Please note this is very specific to my system, you'll have to make allowances as necessary.

1. Install Notepad++
2. Download and install FunctionList Remember to put FunctionList in AppData in Vista
3. Run Notepad++
4. Add userdefined language "Renpy"
View->UserDefined Dialogue...
New Button
5. Set Menu to not be compact
This was the part that threw me. It is not logical, but it works.
Settings->Preferences->Language Menu
UNCHECK Make language menu compact
While you are here you will want to disable the languages you don't use
6. Exit Notepad++
7. create file notepad.editor.py in launcher directory

Code: Select all

# Name: Notepad++
# Version: 1
# Description: Requires Notepad++ be installed on your computer.

editor = ("C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe")
editor = renpy.shell_escape(editor)

config.editor = editor + ' -n%(line)d "%(filename)s" "%(otherfiles)s"'
config.editor_transient = editor + ' -n%(line)d "%(filename)s" "%(otherfiles)s"'

8. Edit userDefineLang.xml I found it in %APPDATA%/Notepad++
Add the following

Code: Select all

    <UserLang name="Renpy" ext="rpy">
