Bringing Linden Scripting Language (LSL) support to Sublime Text.

With regards to the development of this package, supporting new features of Sublime Text as they become available takes precedence over ensuring backwards compatibility. Therefore this package targets and is tested against the latest Build of Sublime Text, releases are frequent and the requirements for this package will be updated accordingly. Implicitly this might require you to be on the dev release channel and consequently have a valid Sublime Text license.

• Sublime Text Build 4065 or later
  • (stable)
  • (dev channel)
  • Buy a new license: https://www.sublimehq.com/store/text
  • Retrieve a lost license: https://www.sublimetext.com/retrieve_key
• Package Control
  • via Tools > Install Package Control …
• SublimeLinter
  • Open the command palette
    • via Tools > Command Palette
  • Select Package Control: Install Package
  • Select SublimeLinter

Make sure your setup meets the requirements before you:

• open Sublime Text
• open the command palette
  • via Tools > Command Palette
• select Package Control: Install Package
• select =BB= LSL

To get LSL syntax highlighting in tooltips, refer to the settings section.

Close and re-open Sublime Text.

When editing scripts in the viewer, click the EDIT button in the script edit window. Save and close view (tab) when done.

To use Sublime Text for editing your script in-world:

• Enable: Me > Preferences > Advanced > Show Advanced menu
• Go to: Advanced > Show Debug Settings

Setting consists of these three parts:

• Path to editor (use quotes if path has spaces)
• Optional command line params
• "%s" will paste script path automatically (do NOT change this)

For a list of Sublime arguments run subl --help and/or refer to the OSX Command Line documentation.

{
    "mdpopups.sublime_user_lang_map":
    {
        "lsl":
        [
            [ "lsl" ],
            [ "=BB= LSL/.sublime/syntaxes/LSL" ]
        ]
    },
    "mdpopups.use_sublime_highlighter": true
}
