![]() This way, if you type "$ myVar=1.0", the '$' will be easily visible making it clear this is a Python line. ![]() Highlight a standalone '$' when not in a string or comment.If you disagree with my choices, edit them under the "Keyword Lists" tab and fiddling with the "Styler" button. I've tried to group the keywords into sensible categories, each with their own colour. To open, click on "Language > Define your language." and set "User Language:" as 'RenPy') This custom defined "RenPy" language makes Notepad do the following: ( you can change these settings in the UDL GUI. If you must have fold-by-indent, see these instructions to make Python recognise Ren'py keywords. I've provided an alternate folding mechanism ("fold-by-comments", see below). As has been noted, Python-style folding via indentation is hard coded and thus isn't available for "RenPy". ![]() I've taken SusanTheCat's original and improved it. This defines a new option under the "Language" menu bar: "RenPy". Make backups of the original files as appropriate and then (re)open Notepad . Both should be placed in %APPDATA%\Notepad (assuming Windows, just type "%APPDATA%" into the Windows Explorer address bar). These are in the two attachments to this post: userDefineLang.xml and functionList.xml. Some of the information in the above links was a little outdated so I wrote an improved version of the settings for Ren'py in Notepad . If you want Ren'Py specific highlighting you should undo/skip step 1 of this guide.Īt the time of writing, I am using Notepad v6.6.9 ![]() If that info is not enough for you there is a thread on Notepad Syntax Highlighting for Ren'Py. Note: If you want Ren'Py specific syntax highlighting, SusanTheCat made a guide for that. Please read comments, this section/links are outdated rpy files as python scripts.Ģ) Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Tab Settings, find "Tab Size" and make sure it is set to "4" then check the "Replace by space" Checkbox, and Notepad will use spaces instead of tab for indentation.Īfter these steps i find it very comfortable to use Notepad for writing/editing my Ren'Py scripts Hope this was helpful to someone. Enter "rpy" (without quotation) into this box and Notepad will detect. It didn't take me long to figure out that this can easily be fixed, and as soon as i figured it out and didn't see any guide for it here, i decided to write this in case someone else is having this problem.ġ) To solve this, go to Settings -> Style Configurator, then find "Python" in the Language menu, and below it you will see a text box for "User ext.". It will also sometime generate tabs when you paste code into it. ![]() rpy as a "python" file, so it won't have any styling at all to help you with the code syntax.Ģ) By default, Notepad uses Tabs for indentation, so if you're using it you need to tap space 4 times instead of just pressing tab. I recently started using Ren'Py and noticed how it doesn't even recommend Notepad as a default editor, i found this weird since in my opinion Notepad is the most convenient free editor i know about, and it's my editor of choice for almost all of my coding.īut when i tried using it with Ren'Py, i found out why it wasn't recommended.ġ) It doesn't by default detect. ![]()
