LSL Alternate Editors

2012-08-05T23:13:22Z

Solo Mornington: /* SubEthaEdit [{{HoverText|C|Commercial Software}}] */

{{LSL Header|ml=*}}

There are several off-world editors available for free or purchase. Some have syntax highlighting for LSL that will make your code easier to follow. At least two will compile and execute a large subset of LSL. Below are some of the more popular editors for use with LSL.

If you have a favorite that is missing from the list, '''please''' feel free to add it.

=== Online LSL Generators ===
Online LSL generators create and edit LSL scripts via a website, some may have syntax highlighting for better reading.
Sites are multi-platform editors without downloads:
*[http://conwylie.co.uk/ScriptGenerator/ Con Wylie's LSL Script Generator]

== Syntax Highlighting Files ==
These projects may have more current LSL highlighting files:
*[http://adammarker.org/shill Shill project]
*[http://hilitelsl.googlecode.com HiLiteLSL.GoogleCode.com]

==LSL Integrated Development Environments (coding and testing environments) ==

===[[Con-Wylies-Script-Generator]]===

*[http://conwylie.co.uk/ScriptGenerator/ Con Wylie's LSL Script Generator] has been ported from a website into a free downloadable program, anyone can use the program as it is very easy to use.

Con Wylie's LSL program is multi-platform on Windows, Linux and Mac. The generator, editor and compiler has been build from the ground up to give the user ease of use.

===[[LslPre]]===
* [http://lsl.dreamjammers.net http://lsl.dreamjammers.net]
LslPre is a full featured LSL script editor, preprocessor and optimiser for windows.

===[[LSL Editor Community Edition]]===

LSL Editor Community Edition '''for Windows''' is a standalone LSL script '''editor, compiler and debugger'''. Binary and Source as of 4-29-2010.

Its compiler and debugger are already now reasonably accurate. Please blog any LSL-Editor bugs you find into such places as our [[LSLEditorBugs|LSL-Editor Bugs]] article or via the project's SourceForge bug tracker located at: [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=319248 Bug Tracker].

* Alphons van der Heijden, author of LSLEditor, the great off-line editor and debugging tool for scripting in Second Life, has donated his opus magnum to the free and open source community where it can grow and keep pace with the SL platform!.

*Details, executable and source can be found at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsleditor/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsleditor/]

Development of LSL-Editor was originally done by Alphons van der Heijden at [http://www.lsleditor.org/ http://www.lsleditor.org/].

=== [[LSL-Plus]] ===

[http://lslplus.sourceforge.net/ LSL PLus Eclipse Plugin]

'''For Windows, Mac, and Linux''', the LSL Plus Eclipse plugin is a Editor/Unit Test environment for LSL implemented in Eclipse. It is a FLOSS project (Free/Libre Open Source Software). The latest release (0.13.0 - 2010-01-06) features multi-script execution with '''source level debugging''' (setting breakpoints, single stepping through code, examining variables on the call stack, etc.), making it unique among LSL IDEs. It now supports both multi-script execution in a simulated environment (with avatars, prims, inventory, (limited) physics, etc.) and '''unit''' testing - allowing you to test individual handlers and functions by precisely controlling the setup/teardown and interaction with the execution environment (including support for 'mocking' the LL function call that interact with the script environment). It also has some additional code management features that encourage code re-use without having to cut-and-paste, as well as code '''optimization''' (inlining, constant folding).

By using the Eclipse IDE you get features such as integration with source code control systems like CVS or Subversion, task management, integration with 3rd party bug tracking software, and so on. It supports development on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.
* Missing bracket matching and certain highlighting features.

=== [[LSLForge]] ===

[http://code.google.com/p/lslforge/ LSLForge Eclipse]
'''For Windows/Linux/OS X''', LSLForge is a derivative of [[LSL-Plus]], forked in September 2011. LSLForge aims to further advance and mature the LSL-Plus project and support the Eclipse LSL developer community.

==Off-world syntax checker==
You can build a syntax checker yourself and hook it into whatever editor you fancy if you have the viewer source installed and compiled on your machine. The C++ source to build one yourself is [[User:JB_Kraft#Offline_LSL_Syntax_Checker|here (JB Kraft)]].

This a great text editor with extensible language support. It also happens to be an incredible collaborative editor. Info at: http://www.subethaedit.net/

There is a contributed LSL mode by Zarf Vantongerloo. The mode is a little out of date and could use some love. But in general works great, doing syntax hilighting of LSL funcitons and adding a pop-up menu of all functions, states and event handlers to the top of the window.

An updated LSL mode by Mark Lentczner is available now from the SubEthaEditor [http://www.subethaedit.net/modes.html User contributed modes Repository].

An updated (but still out of date) version of Mark Lentczner's mode is available on Solo Mornington's Github: https://github.com/SoloMornington/LSL_mode Note that this mode was developed for Coda 1.

===Coda [{{HoverText|''C''|Commercial Software}}]===

Coda is 'one-window web development,' but it's a very pleasing text editor for a wide variety of uses. You can set up 'sites' which are web sites, but can represent any remote filesystem, which is echoed locally through ftp and/or subversion.

Coda can use SubEthaEdit syntax coloring 'modes,' so LSL is supported. Also available is a plug-in editor which lets you run arbitrary scripts on the selection or document.

http://www.panic.com/coda/

===BBEdit and TextWrangler ===

|agenda= LL developer news then open discussion.
* Resident Proposed Agenda Items
** Regression tester is regression-y! https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7357
** Can we get LL to look at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4933
** Does the [[RevokePermissions]] message still work? It doesn't seem to now.
** What is the status of SVC 472?
** Could people volunteer to post the transcripts more regularly? There are 3 weeks full of missing logs now and it hits hard, since it affects the ability to make references to factual answers by lindens, visiting transcripts of topics you couldn't attend, etc.
** In the modernisation of SL, why has all effeort for new features seemed to be targeted at Mesh? I feel that the biggest immersion killer, and the area where SL is lagging behind other MMOs the most, right now is not having seamless sim crossings, and not being able to traverse the seas. [Davido Chrome]
** Lets get some action on https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR-37

LSL Alternate Editors

2010-05-02T19:13:26Z

Solo Mornington: /* Coda [{{HoverText|C|Commercial Software}}] */

{{LSL Header|ml=*}}
{{Cleanup}}

There are several off-world editors available for free or purchase. Some have syntax highlighting for LSL that will make your code easier to follow. At least two will compile and execute a large subset of LSL. Below are some of the more popular editors for use with LSL.

If you have a favorite that is missing from the list, '''please''' feel free to add it.

== Syntax Highlighting Files ==
These projects may have more current LSL highlighting files:
*[http://adammarker.org/shill Shill project]
*[http://hilitelsl.googlecode.com HiLiteLSL.GoogleCode.com]

==LSL Integrated Development Environments (coding and testing environments) ==

===[[LSL-Editor]]===

* [http://www.lsleditor.org/ http://www.lsleditor.org/]

LSL-Editor '''for Windows''' is a standalone LSL script '''editor, compiler and debugger'''. Binary code only (not open source).

Its compiler and debugger are already now reasonably accurate, but yet quite totally perfect. Please blog any LSL-Editor bugs you find into such places as our [[LSLEditorBugs|LSL-Editor Bugs]] article.
* No Longer maintained. Missing newer functions.

=== [[LSL-Plus]] ===

[http://lslplus.sourceforge.net/ LSL PLus Eclipse Plugin]

'''For Windows, Mac, and Linux''', the LSL Plus Eclipse plugin is a Editor/Unit Test environment for LSL implemented in Eclipse. It is a FLOSS project (Free/Libre Open Source Software). The latest release (0.13.0 - 2010-01-06) features multi-script execution with '''source level debugging''' (setting breakpoints, single stepping through code, examining variables on the call stack, etc.), making it unique among LSL IDEs. It now supports both multi-script execution in a simulated environment (with avatars, prims, inventory, (limited) physics, etc.) and '''unit''' testing - allowing you to test individual handlers and functions by precisely controlling the setup/teardown and interaction with the execution environment (including support for 'mocking' the LL function call that interact with the script environment). It also has some additional code management features that encourage code re-use without having to cut-and-paste, as well as code '''optimization''' (inlining, constant folding).

By using the Eclipse IDE you get features such as integration with source code control systems like CVS or Subversion, task management, integration with 3rd party bug tracking software, and so on. It supports development on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.
* Missing bracket matching and certain highlighting features.
==Off-world syntax checker==
You can build a syntax checker yourself and hook it into whatever editor you fancy if you have the viewer source installed and compiled on your machine. The C++ source to build one yourself is [[User:JB_Kraft#Offline_LSL_Syntax_Checker|here (JB Kraft)]].

==Multi-platform Editors==

===ByronStar SL===
Based on [http://eclipse.org Eclipse], the [http://byronstar-sl.sourceforge.net/ ByronStar SL IDE] includes most modern program editor features. It also includes custom features for LSL, such as variable checking, error markers, and code formatting. Eclipse is available for Macintosh, Linux, Windows, and many UNIX flavors.
* No longer maintained.

===Emacs===
There's an [[Emacs LSL Mode]] available on this wiki, which provides syntax highlighting and indentation features. If you want some tips on writing LSL in emacs, read [http://xahlee.org/sl/ls-emacs.html Xah Lee's page]. Emacs is available for many Unix flavors, Macintosh and Windows.

You may come across (and attempt to use) Gary Evan's [http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~leavens/emacs/lsl-mode.el LSL major mode]. It won't work with the Linden Scripting Language, as Gary wrote it for the [http://www.cs.iastate.edu/larch-faq-webboy.html Larch Shared Language].

===vim===
[http://www.vim.org/ vim:] vi improved. A multi-platform evolution of the most classical of the editors: vi. GPL code.

===jEdit===
Developed in Java, this mature, cross-platform editor runs on any operating system with a Java 2 version 1.3 or higher virtual machine. It has all the features you'd expect from a full-GUI text editor. Syntax highlighting and tailored editing behavior is supported through "modes." (You can get the LSL 'modes' file [http://nonbaryonic.no-ip.org/repository/SL/lsl-edit.xml here] {{WFont|fstyle=italic|color=orange|text=updated 5-Feb-09}}.) The editor supports a rich plug-in API; many third-party plug-ins exist to facility editing, formatting, communications, etc. 
You can find jEdit [http://www.jedit.org/ here].

===Shill - LSL syntax files for a variety of editors===
The [http://adammarker.org/shill Shill project] provides up-to-date syntax files for many LSL editors. You might find files there that are more current than those here on the wiki. Last update: 19Aug09 for Second Life 1.23.4. New in this release: lslint
