Solariz Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm pretty sure it didn't work without adding the extra line, though. Just FYI. Huge step up from the normal ModBuddy, tho, I can't believe it wasn't shipped with code completion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zingfharn Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hello! So. I'd flagged this thread but seen it wasn't ready for windows 7. Then you posted there was a new version so that was the first version I tried, and yes. Syntax highlight works. On my phone right now but will report back later this evening with answers to all your questions in detail and screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamDragonpunk Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 ALL: Based on Zingharn's reports, please try the new code (same url) for Windows 7. If it works for you, please let us know if you have the VS SDK 2015 installed or not. If it isn't working for you, please try adding the additional line (described in the original post), and please let us know if you are running Modbuddy in a language other than English (the only Windows 10 users experiencing issue were originally running in French and Spanish). -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXecator Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yes, I'm using Win10 and I do have VS15 installed if thats important. Jesus Christ! For this I will deal with the pain of switching my color scheme to dark.did as I was told to do in OP typed a variable name and a dot burst into tears Very nice, thanks a lot.Are you using Windows 10? What is your system specs? Alex just updated the file on Saturday to include additional DLL, so we're ready for another round of testing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zingfharn Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Zingfharn, I want to verify that you get the brown and additional colors from the Syntax Highlighting. You're the first reported user with the extension working for Windows 7, so I just want to verify. If it does work for you, did you have the VS SDK already installed on your computer? It is currently still not working on my Windows 7 laptop, but that could be for various reasons. Also, it is showing up as an extension within ModBuddy when you click the button? Ok. So, to follow up. Here is an image of what it looks like: https://imgur.com/JbbfZ3Z You can see the autocomplete is.. somewhat lacking. But it's definitely trying. It's the same autocomplete for whatever I try. Except arrays, which get (I presume) native array functions. Strings don't trigger at all. Win 7, 64 Bit. I have already installed Visual Studio via Unity, if that helps? I'm not sure if that's what you mean about the VS SDK? (Sorry, installed Unity literally a couple of weeks ago to write an app, and it was my first time with VS - I have grown to rather like it - but until now, I've lived my life in Notepad++). Tell me what to look for, and I can report back in more detail. I added the line in the XML file (also line 9 for me). I don't see the parsing message, at any time. Should it say it constantly? And as for "clicking the button", do you mean "tools -> extensions and updates"? If so, there's nothing registered there.

TeamDragonpunk Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) "Win 7, 64 Bit. I have already installed Visual Studio via Unity, if that helps?" Ok, so the one thing that every working user has in common is that they have the Visual Studio 2012 or 2015 running. Ideally, you wouldn't need this as the correct DLLs would ship with ModBuddy. Until we figure out which DLL is right, we'll just have to ask users to download VS. I'm downloading VS 15 community right now to test.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. It does work, but it's not robust. All of that has to be custom written, and developers who can do that aren't cheap and we're lucky to have Alex at all. We take it for granted because Microsoft invests millions in their IDE, and free IDE like Eclipse have thousands of contributors. If we want this more robust, I suggest we all "buy Alex a cup of coffee" through his paypal donation button on the site. The good news however, is that there are a lot of other features that work for his extensions, that Firaxis simply has to enable in ModBuddy. 1) Snippets2) Code Definition Window 3) Object Browser4) Class Outline (Document Outline) Edited March 16, 2016 by TeamDragonpunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that it is free. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691978&clcid=0x409 Ideally, we'll get this to a state that we can ship without it, but one step at a time. I know Alex wanted to work on a Syntax Analyzer next, and we're all hoping for some more robust auto-complete and intelliSense functionality.

Lucubration Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Well, still not working for me. Windows 8.1 with VS 2015 installed. I get the syntax highlighting but the first character of any file I'm looking at shows a NullReferenceException. Trying to get auto-complete to work shows only 'const/default/global/static' options for anything. Edited March 16, 2016 by Lucubration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
