Hi everyone!
As I occasionally find myself referring to old code that I’ve written, as well as sometimes poking at some old game mods, and such, I decided to do a little bit of tooling for Visual Studio Code, my new default editor, to deal with some UnrealScript.
There is an extension available: UnrealScript language for VSCode - Visual Studio Marketplace
And it’s open source, you can find the git repository here: GitHub - ericblade/vscode-unrealscript: Unrealscript language and grammar for Visual Studio Code</titl
I don’t often get time to mess with it much, but I figure if there’s some people dedicated to UDK still, you might be interested in having a tool that you can improve upon, and I’d love to help.
Basically, right now, it just supports syntax highlighting and auto-detection of UCC (for ucc make) and UnrealEd (for creating an editor launch task) binaries.
Things it could really really use, if anyone wants to contribute:
- Intellisense (i suspect that could mostly be lifted from Java, as I did with syntax highlighting, but I don’t really know Java, so I’m not entirely sure about that)
- Ctrl-click on class names to open that file (that might come along with Intellisense, i’m not sure)
- Ability to delete or rename a package before running ucc make (although you can define that in a task yourself, it’s always nice when the editor can handle the menial tasks for you)
… any other good ideas?
