dominions-mod-support README

This extension provides syntax highlighting, autocomplete and hover information on commands.

Features

Full list of known commands and information about it. As well as auto formated snippets when creating/editing objects like monsters or items.

Addtional details including relevent tables for some keywords. Will add more in the future.

Error checking for illegal values and missing #end commands.

If you refernce a vanilla asset such as with #selectarmor, if you hover over the value it will give you details of what armor you are selecting.

Commenting and uncommenting hotkey support.

Known Issues

I'm sure there's a handful. Just undocumented so far. See below. There's missing diagnostics and some are intentionally disabled due to needing some refactoring to account for edge cases.

• Copy Sprite hover will always show monster details regardless if its in an item's section.

A lot of commands have no maximum value listed so i've guessed or used seemingly reasonable values. If you find errors, please let me know.

Release Notes

There is likely errors in my data for all the commands. I did a lot of scraping and regex instead of going through it by hand. If you catch any and are feeling extra generous please fix and submit a pull request. Or if not and it's small just let me know via discord @zegma and I can include the fix in during an update.

2.0.7

Caught up to dom version 6.24 Added before but forgot to make a note, support for hotkey commenting. Ctrl-K to comment a selected text, Shift-Ctrl-K to uncomment.

Credits

I wanted to highlight djmcgill for creating a syntax highlighting tool years ago. Used that for a while and the decided I wanted to improve on that base.

Thanks logg-y for the list of mod manual missing commands.

Thanks larzm42 for raw game data.

General thanks to all the folks in the Dom Modding Discord. Plenty of help when getting clarification of mechanics to provide more accurate information in this extension.

ToDO

In no particular order things I want to do.

• Change the hover for ID on monster and item sprite commands to return sprite in addition to other data
• Allow hover to return data on items/monsters by name instead of just by ID. Problematic due to all the damn warriors....
• create warnings when selecting IDs out of vanilla asset range instead of error only when outside of all legal ranges

Enjoy!
