Daggerfall quest editor for VS Code

A VSCode extension that brings support for Tipton's Template scripting language for Daggerfall.



Daggerfall Quest Editor on Nexus Mods

Personally, I think that this change is very helpful and would be probably highly appreciated. At least for translating reasons it's helping a lot. The current quest editor for translating quests has the same and can't imagine it without.

+1 from me

As a quest writer I am very interested in this.

This is a smart idea!

Thank you for feedback! I've update first post with installation instructions.

@Deepfighter
I'll give a look at translation editor, thank you for pointing that out.

Added highlighting and snippets for Visual Studio Code.

I installed it, but I don't have any highlighting on my end (except where I highlight some word with the mouse and it repeats the highlighting elsewhere). Is there some missing step?

You can change language from the language indicator on the bottom-right corner. Select 'dftemplate'. Extension is .txt so this can't be done automatically (unless you want it for all text files).

line 35 of dftemplate.tmLanguage has a typo:
This is duplicated a few times. Is this correct for the VS code file? Anyway, found it while messing with trying to get an Atom grammar definition by converting yours. They seem to both be TextMate based so the info is same, but Atom wants a json/cson file instead.

I found a converter that turns .tmLanguage into .cson but it doesn't recognise the 'match' key annoyingly, that would be a real easy way to auto generate atom highlighting.

It's working now, and magnificently. Thank you TheLacus!
