CQE Alternative (ConTEXT)

[gordonzero]

I managed to code up a custom ConTEXT Highlighter For anyone who wants it.

For thoes of you who don't know what ConTEXT is. It's a tool that some people (mostly programmers and game scripters) use to check the syntax of their code.

Now this won't do everything that CQE does. But it comes close.

I wrote this Highlighter because i didn't realy need a program that would hold my hand though the whole quest creation process. But I still wanted somthing that would show me whether or not I typed somthing in the correct syntax.

Anyway enough of my jabbering lemme give you a tutorial on how to install and configure ConTEXT Highlighter:

1.) Get ConTEXT
http://www.context.cx/ConTEXTsetup.exe

2.) Install ConTEXT

3.) Download my Highlighter (right click and say save target as) and save it to your C:\Program Files\ConTEXT\Highlighters
http://webpages.charter.net/gordon0/Context/EQEMU.chl

4.) Now start ConTEXT and close the History.txt and Readme.txt files. and click on the new document icon

5.) Now go to Tools --> Set Highlighter --> EQEMU Quest Script

6.) and start writing scripts

The only bad thing about using this system is that you need to memorize most of the commands to be able to do it real fast... but that's what real programmers do... If you typed somthing incorrectly like EVENT_SAY or somthing like that it won't change color when you've typed it.

Good Luck with your Quests
