gmod-wiki-npp

Scrapes http://wiki.garrysmod.com for useful autocomplete hints and tosses them into Notepad++ autocomplete format. This does NOT generate syntax highlighting.

Usage Instructions

Download GMod Syntax Highlight plugin (http://code.google.com/p/npp-gmod-lua/) from Notepad++ plugin manager and update the xml file with this: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1274235&p=43718059&viewfull=1#post43718059

Save latest scrape https://github.com/Python1320/gmod-wiki-npp/raw/master/GMod%20Lua.xml to Notepad++/plugins/APIs/ and enabled auto-complete on Settings->Preferences->Auto-Completion

Bugs

• autocomplete list too big for notepad++ (takes multiple seconds to process)
• Does not parse/handle incomplete data
• This means not all functions get processed (about 10 in the current wiki)
• Does not cache wiki content

TODO

• Enums Category
• Include Examples
• Add download caching
• Notepad++: Use RapidXML instead of TinyXML for speedup
