Notepad++ Language file for Game Configs

Posted by EmSixTeen

(This was originally posted here on EmSixTeen's blog)

Prompted by a thread on the QuakeLive forums asking if there were any programs with syntax highlighting for editing QL configs, and the fact that there isn't, I just went off and made a custom language file for Notepad++.

I went through the configs from the games I play, and added in some extra things to make those work too. It's not perfect and I'm no guru, but it's better than just plain old black text on a white background. The colours need tweaked, but they're workable at the moment.

So yeah, this should provide rough syntax highlighting for your game config files in Notepad++. Screenshots:

Tested with configs from:

  • QuakeLive
  • Quake 3 CPMa
  • Call of Duty 2
  • Call of Duty 4
  • Counter-Strike 1.6
  • Counter-Strike: Source

Any suggestions in the comments, please!

Update


Since the original link died and the file was lost, Reeload69 has created an alternative file for Notepad++,

Quake Live Problems? Try the official Quake Live FAQ!

Posted by Malice

For a while we've been trying to help people with our unofficial Quake Live FAQ page. This page mostly includes general gameplay and customization tips and guides.

A few weeks ago, however, a more technical and official Quake Live FAQ about the game was created by the Quake Live crew.

Some of the questions answered in the official Quake Live FAQ:

What are the QUAKE LIVE System Requirements?
Where can I provide feedback, suggestions and follow QUAKE LIVE's progress?
I am receiving an Error Code alert, what does it mean?
How can I contact QUAKE LIVE technical support?

Another effort to support players with questions is the unofficial #Quakelive.Support channel managed by B^ and supported by several other volunteers.
