Haha, i wish i could have it done by tomorrow - expected release date is still the 13th However i got further than i expected so far, so maybe some days earlier In the first version i release i expect no syntax highlighting(besides the original lua that sublime already offers), this will be a feature for the next release.

This will allow me to have both syntax highlighting and w/e. bug, typo, etc people have discovered in the first version - fixed for 2nd version. Because as of now i think having it all in one is just a little big too much of a project to start fixing if people discover bugs or anything else.

But no worries - all features will be available in the 2nd version, while the 1st version only has the features shown in the videos posted here, that is:

Full API WoW Support Auto-Completions with TabSteps and Return values.


Anyways, dentist time - Be back later.

I hope v2 plugins will be usable out of the box in v3 too (using the latest v3 dev build atm)

Do you have something planned for removed API?
A highlight you can add removed functions to would be helpful for those post-patch fixes.

You'll have some API maintenance work ahead anyway might as well make it useful
Example: http://www.wowpedia.org/Patch_5.2.0/API_changes (scroll down to API tables and expand removed column)

It will work for both V2 and V3 of Sublime Text

For the first version, no i haven't planned that. However for the next version all API's that have been removed from WoW will have a RED highlight. And functions which are either NOCOMBAT or w/e stated will have some highlighting too such as bold, italic, decreased opacity which should make it easy to fast recognize which belongs to which category.

Best autocomplete feature ever.

How will globals be displayed?

I was thinking red, as in "Hey...this might be a typo...are you SURE you want to use this?" but that's already taken.

o.O

The idea is to make them stand out, since a typo on a variable name suddenly creates a new global.

Hmm yeah i c that, lets use RED for globals instead and use something else for removed functions.. hmm i'll figure something out.

What you are asking for is Global Variables detection right? I can make it so that if one or more variables is equal they turn green otherwise they are e.g. grey/red. We can even make it detect them cross files.

Well i don't really use a lot of globals so whatever for me. I meant to green color while you typing it it has some different starter color, and when it becomes a global then turns green.

Will you be adding this plugin to Package Control?

Aye, that's precisely what I had in mind - that's really the main reason I use Sylvanaar's IntelliJ plugin. I much prefer Sublime overall; it's not a hulking behemoth of a Java IDE and it's so much more aesthetically pleasing.

BETA Release - No.. Final release - Yes. With final i mean version 2.0 which i expect to be done 1-2 weeks after the BETA release the 13th

Well sure, this will certainly be a great feature to have. But first i will look into everything about the auto-completion and then i will start working on syntax highlighting. Unfortunately there is no proper support for calltips in Sublime Text, i hope they will do that possible in the future so there will be no needs to check forums anymore to get API informations. After i tried to modify some changes i see that Auto-Completion actually also can take syntax effects, though only found it possible to edit the size, whether its italic, bold or not, etc. Maybe Highlighting can be accomplished in the popup-menu itself so that you will see the colors before the complete word has actually been typed in this way you will be able to see right away whether a function requires some sort of hardware event, if its removed or w/e.

Green means "go" or "good". Red means "stop" or "bad". You want as few globals as possible. So... Red > Green.

WoW love Sublime Text too! But what do you think how long will it be for free? Looks like more often you use it the by now option pops up again and I have to klick no again... 70$ seams to be much!

Free and full-featured forever. Pop-up appears every X times you save.

Sublime 3 doesn't run without a license, don't know if that will change once it's out of beta.
