MSVC Extension for DoomScript - possible ?

[motorsep]

Has anyone ever tried making an extension for MSVC to allow coding in DoomScript inside MSVC, utilizing all it's power when it comes to search, highlights, hints, going to declarations and definition, etc. ?

 

Is it possible?

No and I don't know how it's done, but I wouldn't mind seeing one.

 

You could probably get it work my including a header that'd be ignored by the game compiler, something like

 

#ifdef __MSVC__

#define object struct

#include game_header.script

#endif // ifdef __MSVC__

 

struct instead of class so the members are public.

I can't think of any other redefinitions that'd be needed off hand, but there are probably some... It might work!

There used to be this app for scripting: http://d3raptor.tripod.com/screenshots.html, but it's gone now. So having MSVC extension as IDE for DoomScript (and flexible/configurable enough to accommodate not only stock Doom 3, but any standalone game made with idTech 4, like TDM) would be awesome and quite useful!

Nah, I would like to be able to search references, have hints for functions/variables when hovering over them, peek definition, etc. Just like when you code in C++. Highlighting can work (somewhat) by default if you use C++ highlighting.
