In my version of VS Code (1.77.3) the *.verse script files do not show color coded syntax. I presume the installation of the extension has failed because of a compatibility problem. But no error message appears when opening such scripts from the Unreal Editor (5.5).
What would be the minimal version of VS Code that is suitable for Verse programming? Because of other programming project that need different extensions I haven’t (auto)upgraded to the latest VS Code yet. What do other UEFN island creators and Unreal Engine developer use as rule of thumb regarding external editors? Please advice.
The language server works only on vs code as far as Im aware and currently Im using vscode version 1.94.1 so I assume anything around there is compatible with the verse extension
I found that the current UEFN based on Unreal Editor 5.5 (v31.30) still bundles both the system and user installers with UEFN called VSCodeSetup-x64-1.78.1.exe and VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.78.1.exe from April 2023. These files are typically located in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite\VSCode\ or where you had the Epic Games Launcher install Fortnite to; along with two extension files themselves: Verse.vsix and URC.vsix.
I was on 1.77.3 because of an older MacBook while I like to keep versions in-sync, but upgraded slightly. I’m now on 1.78.2 and even consider your tip using the latest on this specific machine for UEFN.
After installing newer VS Code, I could use the Extension tab’s menu option “Install from VSIX…” and succeeded. Verse toolbar now appears and *.verse files are color-coded.
