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.

Known Issues

I'm sure there's a handful. Just undocumented so far. See below.

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

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.

1.1.1

Added diagnostics and some error correction. As well as a lot of strcutural changes to improve maintainability long term.

fixed bug with float numbers diagnostics not ignoring strings and comments.

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 Dom5 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....

Enjoy!
