Description

I just recently started using jEdit, but was disappointed at the currently existing syntax highlighting, so I decided to make my own. This syntax highlighting will highlight cJASS correctly and as closely as I could get it at the time. Though, I am thinking of adding some useful functions like printf.

Anyways, why use jEdit? It's a powerful text editor with one extremely useful feature. Code folding. And it's not restrictive. You can either choose to have exclusive (manual folding) or folding by indentation (Godlike).

This is how my TESH is setup:

How To Install

To install, simply place cJASS.xml (View attachment cJASS.zip) in X:\Program Files\jEdit\modes\

And, open catalog (no file extension) with any text editor and add this at the bottom:

Code:
<MODE NAME="cJASS" FILE="cJASS.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="{!{common,blizzard}}.j" />

That's it! It's now installed.

How To Edit

Think the color scheme is ugly? I did. Push Control + F12 (Or Utilities -> Global Options)

Find Syntax Highlighting.

Change the colors to your liking :3

Here's mine:

Dark blue background for a text editor is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

That's only for JASS, vJASS, and Zinc (which are the files I linked, I just zipped them individually in the post). cJASS uses JASS because all of the types, natives, etc are in there.

The blue background is just my color scheme. Yours starts out even uglier, trust me :3

You can change it however you want it to.

The xml file only tells the program what to highlight, not what color to highlight it ;3

I made all those files (except for the least useful one). No, I am not letting you redistribute them.

Cool, but needs instructions for other OSes (Linux and Mac).
Had to search to find out how to get it to work on Ubuntu.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
