Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• bgforge.fallout-ssl.compile: Path to Fallout SSL compile.exe plus compilation options.
• bgforge.fallout-ssl.output_directory: Where to put the compiled Fallout SSL scripts. Absolute path or relative to source directory.
• bgforge.fallout-ssl.headers_directory: Absolute path to directory containing Fallout headers, searched recursively.
• bgforge.weidu.path: Full path to WeiDU binary

Also see:

• SSL configuration.
• Hotkeys.

SSL

Both Star-Trek Scripting Language and Sword Coast Stratagems Scripting Language use files with extension ssl. BGforge MLS defaults to Star-Trek Scripting Language (Fallout). If you need SCS Scripting Language instead, you can set file associations in VScode settings:

"files.associations": {
  "*.ssl": "weidu-ssl"
}

This can be set globally, or per project, so you can work on both types of projects simultaneously.

Hotkeys

• CTRL+R: compile (Fallout ssl) or parse (WeiDU tp2) file, reporting errors if any.

Installation

Search for BGforge in VScode marketplace, like any other extension. Alternatively, download the package from Github releases tab and install it manually.
