This download provides XML files that allow Notepad++ to:

• Recognize “.j2as”, “.asc”, and “.mut” file extensions as JJ2+ script files.
• Highlight syntax in AngelScript documents.
• Enable block folding inside AngelScript documents.
• Auto-complete AngelScript keywords as well as JJ2+ script global variables, functions, class names and enum values.
• Display argument hints for JJ2+ script functions.
• Enable the function list feature in AngelScript documents.

Applying the XML files:

1. If you don’t already have it or have an outdated version, obtain Notepad++. Feel free to use either the installer or one of the packages.
2. Download and unzip this file. Its contents are Notepad-AS-patch.exe and XML_files_for_manual_installation.zip. You’re not going to need the latter unless the former fails to work for whatever reason or you don’t trust console applications.
3. New! If you intend to use a Notepad++ theme, select it in Notepad++ before the installation. The installer detects currently used theme and makes the color scheme for AngelScript files match it. If you decide to switch the theme later on, you can always run the installer again afterwards to update the color scheme to match it.
4. Run Notepad-AS-patch.exe. It will ask you about Notepad++ location and some patch settings. If you’re unsure about any of them, just follow whatever is labelled as “recommended”.
5. Run Notepad++.exe and open the Language menu. It should display AngelScript and JJ2+ Script at the bottom. Choose one of them to enable its syntax highlighting. If this is not the case, an unknown bug must have occurred. Feel free to contact me by any means available and leave a message about it.

Enabling added features:

• Syntax highlighting, file recognition and block folding will be enabled automatically when the language is set to AngelScript or JJ2+ Script.
• To enable auto-completion and / or argument hints, go to Settings -> Preferences -> Auto-Completion and select the options you want.
• To enable the function list feature, use either View -> Function List or a quick access toolbar icon.

Manual XML file installation:
With use of Google try to figure out what file goes where. One of the goals of the installer application is not to force me to explain how to do this manually.

In case of problems applying the patch, feel free to report them in any accessible way.
