Symbols Automation

For use with the PSX-MODDING-TOOLCHAIN.

This extension enables automatic addition of extern declarations to a symbols.txt file.

Made using the help of OpenAPI's ChatGPT model.

Usage

1. Select the text to be added to symbols.txt.
2. Run the extension by running the command symbolplacer.helloWorld in the command window.

Format

The selected text must be in the following format: extern <type> <name>; //0x<address>.

Examples

1. extern char myVar; //0x80100123
2. extern int* myVar2; //0x80080445
3. extern myType myVar3; //0x80123456

Configuration

The path to the symbols.txt file can be set in the workspace configuration. To do this, open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type "Preferences: Open Workspace Settings". This will open the settings.json file, which can be used to set the path to the symbols.txt file. The setting is called "symbolsFile.path", and the value should be the path to the symbols.txt file.

Bug Fixes:

0.0.4: Changed default setting for placing into the symbols to be no. This way, if you dont choose an option, it won't default to placing it into the symbols.txt file. 0.0.6: Changed the error message to display correctly when the format is incorrect. 0.1.0: Fixed documentation formatting.
