The Windows download seems to work for me, though I forgot to add an .exe starter application to the zip (if you have Java installed, you can still start it via double-clicking the RText.jar file).  What file name are you trying to open?  RText should use ZScript syntax highlighting for files using extensions .z or .zh.

What file name are you trying to open?

*.z or *.zh (script files and header files).

Perhaps you can resave the script file as one with the extension .zh or .z in the editor?

The RText Windows zip now includes an "RText.exe" starter program to make things seem a little more "native."  The Windows demo has always been just a single executable.

 

Alcurad, can you try getting the newer zip and trying it out?  If it still doesn't work, feel free to PM me if you want to try to debug the problem.

Updated and the bug is still here:

I think I've fixed this now in the latest downloads.  The problem only occurred when a file was opened either by file association or drag-and-dropping it to the executable (opened the file after opening the editor, via e.g. Ctrl+O, was fine).

Updated. Bug is still here.

 

EDIT: Redownloaded and the bug is fixed.

Do seems to always expect brackets. For instance

 

do foo();

while(bar)

 

Will return an error saying expecting { but ZC doesn't mind at all. Not a problem really but the error stops the left Paine from outlining beyond the that point.

Fixed in Windows demo, thanks.  Others to follow.

 

Edit:  Code now on GitHub:  https://github.com/bobbylight/ZScriptLanguageSupport.  Not for the faint of heart.  Building instructions are currently wrong.

Have there been anything new important updates to this recently?

[David]

No, not that I know of. But the program is a leading great enough that it doesn't need much fixing at this point.

[bobby_light]

Future enhancements could include calling out to the "official" compiler (if it were runnable in batch) for "exact" errors that would match those from ZQuest exactly and ability to parse and support arbitrary headers (not just the standard ones) for code completion.  And any other features folks can dream up.  I had high hopes that the source would be released, and I could port the compiler to Java - this would allow for some slick stuff - but I'm not sure that will happen, at least, any time soon.

 

Right now the focus is on editor enhancements not specific to zscript (clipboard history ATM) and converting the project to use gradle for builds instead of Ant.

Ah okay, sounds good. Thanks a lot for working on this so much for all of us.

Hey, I recently download the latest version of Java 8 and I also updated my Mac to OS X Yosemite. However, the program says that I need Java 6 to run the application. I don't want to ask too much of you, but is it possible for you to make RText compatible with Java 8? Thanks!

[bobby_light]

Very strange.  Sure, I'll check it out, thanks for reporting it!
