→Fully Integrated Compiler with NppExec (Best Choice)
| Line 29: | Line 29: | ||
The best way to integrate any compiler into Notepad++ is to use the NppExec plugin. Your compile output will appear in a window in Notepad++, you can easily copy-paste from it, it will be in color, and you can double-click on any error and it will jump you right to the line and column with the error in the editor. So, it will work like many modern IDEs do when working with compilation and errors. | The best way to integrate any compiler into Notepad++ is to use the NppExec plugin.

The best way to use Notepad++ plugins is to to use the Plugin Manager. Unfortunately, as of Notepad++ version 7.5 and later the Plugin Manager was not shipped as part of the default plugins. At that time Notepad++ added an 64-bit build, and the Plugin Manager and many other plugins were not available for x64, so they removed it. However, that problem has since been fixed, and the Plugin Manager and many of the plugins now have x64 versions. | The best way to use Notepad++ plugins is to to use the Plugin Manager.

In order to check if you have the 32-bit or 64-bit version installed, open Notepad++ and press "F1". If it shows (32-bit) you should uninstall that and install the 64-bit version.

Now, select Plugins->NppExec->Execute... or press F6. Type the following into the execute dialog box, and press Save... and save it with the name "Papyrus Compiler (Debug)".

Adjust any of the paths here to your preference, this is for Fallout 4 in the default install location with all the DLC, and working on scripts out of the Data\Scripts\Source\User directory. NOTE: this does not require any changes to the ScriptCompile.bat file (or the others), since they is not used. This invokes the compiler directly. | Now, select Plugins->NppExec->Execute... or press F6.
