I use GameKit and this feature would be very useful. It would also be
nice to add HLSL and Cg highlighting in addition to Lua and GLSL. Some
people are using blender2ogre plugin with GameKit and therefore use the
Blender text editor to write Ogre materials which might include both
HLSL and GLSL
FYI: I wrote a plug-in now that lets you edit Blender text files using
External Text Editor. So if your external text editor has highlighting
for files it should deal with this issue.
The plugin has been tested internally (under Windows) and I believe it
should be one of the solutions to this is
@Campbell
I'm actually trying to sell the plugin. If I sell enough copies I would be more
than happy to re-license it under GPL.
Not saying what "enough copies" is at this time, I just released the plug-in
today.

Hi,
I'll agree that at least it should be patch which would allow to easily
define new highlighting schemes. There are several ways how this could
be done. Easiest way is defining set of keywrds. That's like current
highlighting works.
But supporting new languages not only relates on syntax hi
There's no reason to keep the keywords list as a Python var. Who needs
constant access to it? It can be converted to a native C
vector/array/whatever immediately. Any highlighting extension that isn't
scriptable isn't worth doing IMO.

+1 for using an existing text engine - at least seriously
investigating the possibility before extending blenders,
notepad++, geany, scite, eric, code::blocks all use scintilla.
Lots more I never used on their site:

Hi,
I am fond of XEmacs and use it as scripting tool, highlighting etc..
THEN in a text part of Blender I open that to be build or changed file such
that the correct link is set.
If I now change the file in XEmacs (or what ever you use, I suppose) and
save it, it is seen by the text in Blender
and
yes, would be good to have auto-reload though.
this is good when you someone else or another program is changing the file,
so you can be aware you are not in sync anymore with what is on the
harddrive. But for people writing script like you, the option of auto-reload
can be nice I guess

I'll be flat out honest with you, I can easily do what is needed to
simply extend Blender's current highlighting. I do not have the
I wonder if there would be a way to open this up to python scripting, that

would want.
Since at this time Gamekit has not yet been added to Blender, I don't see
any point in including Lua highlighting. However if you wan

Hi SInan, could you give a link to the post?
We could have this builtin to blender since we have an to edit
external images and it seems useful.

Out of curiosity, Is it legal to sell a python add-on to Blender, since it
links to the blender python api?
I remember a discussion about it but can't remember what the outcome was.
Maybe Someone else can enlighten me. I personally have no problem with it,
but I just wanted to check.

If it's only a python add-on (which I believe it's) then it's legal.
If it involves changes in the Blender code it's legal BUT you need to share
the changes made in
That seems to make more sense. Thanks for clarifying that.
