SourceMod-Npp-Docs

Here the new API docs with all (I hope) function, define, enum, methodmap and fixed xml structure. Docs were generated by reworked generator plugin.

Plugin

Features:

• Generate auto-completion files.
• Generate inline docs (sourcemod.xml).
• Supports SourceMod 1.7 API specifics.

Changes:

• Added better way to detect commentary.
• Added methods docs.
• Added more console stats.
• Added xml filter.
• Code optimization.
• Detects all function params.
• Detects enum & define correctly.
• Detects methodmap selection.
• Detects typeset.
• Makes keywords to pop up correctly.

Server command:

sm_makedocs - starts to parse SourceMod includes and generates output files.

Notepad++

SourceMod docs files are located in the plugins\NPP\ subfolder of sourcemod folder.
Notepad++ API files are located in the plugins\APIs\ subfolder of the Notepad++ installation folder.
Notepad++ API v7.6+ files are located in the autoCompletion\ subfolder of the Notepad++ installation folder.

Note: Use sm_makedocs command to generate docs or get them from the latest release).

Highlights

Use preset

A preset has all the setting ready to developing your plugin. To load preset go to Notepd++ -> Lanuguage -> Define your language -> Import and select userDefineLang.xml from SourceMod docs or copy userDefineLang.xml to <USER_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\

Define you own preset

If you want to configurate user defined languge or update keywords, check plugins\NPP\ folder for NPP_STYLE files. These files contain defining the keyword lists for the SourcePawn language. Open one of those files, select keywords and copy. Go to Notepd++ -> Lanuguage -> Define your language... Select you own language or create new and past keywords to the Keywords Lists group. Do it for other groups too. More information here: UDL 2.0.

Note: It's important to define your language as sourcemod

Autocompletion

Copy sourcemod.xml file from SourceMod docs folder to Notepad++ API folder. Done! Due to Notepad++ Issues I highly recommend using 3P plugin for autocompletion feature. Otherwise, you can use default Notepad++ autocompletion feature (don't forget to read about Issues). The completion list can be triggered automatically as you type, via settings in Settings -> Preferences -> Auto-Completion: Auto-Completion is enabled by a checkbox. Additionally there is a setting "From X th character", accepting a the minimum length of a prefix needed before the completion list is shown (some people like 2, some 3, some 4...); and, there is a setting to specify which candidates should be used: words, functions, or both.

Note: Press TAB to fast autocompletion.
Note: To watch docs again place the cursor between ( ) characters and press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE hotkeys

Methodmap notes

These strings are not actual SourceMod functions. The purpose of these strings is to provide access to documentation showing the methodmap structure. Notepad++ don't reacts on dots in names (exp: fileArray.GetString) and docs not shown, so . were separated with _ symbol.

Note: If you want to use string as code you must remove prefix and separate _ with .
Note: If you want to watch docs you must do the vice versa.

Prefix structure:

MM (Methodmap) type	With tag	Without tag
C (Constructor)	MM_%1_%2_C_%3	MM_%1_C_%3
M (Method)	MM_%1_%2_M_%3	MM_%1_M_%3
P (Property)	MM_%1_%2_P_%3	MM_%1_P_%3

Where: %1 - Class name, %2 - Tag name, %3 - Real method/property/constructor name.

Note: Prefix - a string before %3 param (e.g., MM_ArrayList_Handle_M_GetArray).

Examples:

MM (Methodmap) type	With tag	Without tag
C (Constructor)	MM_Menu_Handle_C_Menu	Always has the tag
M (Method)	MM_Menu_Handle_M_ToPanel	MM_AdminId_M_BindIdentity
P (Property)	MM_Menu_Handle_P_ItemCount	MM_AdminId_P_ImmunityLevel

Editing string to watch docs:
Method: ToPanel()
Prefix: MM_Menu_Handle_M_
Result: MM_Menu_Handle_M_ToPanel

Editing string to use as code:
Docs string: MM_AdminId_P_ImmunityLevel
Removes prefix: MM_AdminId_M_
Result: my_code.ImmunityLevel()

Issues

The following Issues were reported on notepad-plus-plus repository.

1. Code-complete-file defined with ignoreCase="yes" input makes autocomplete work incorrectly.
2. Code-complete-file defined with ignoreCase="no" input makes pop up docs work incorrectly for functions with a similar names (e.g., ReplaceStringEx hint docs from ReplaceString).

By deafault code-complete-file defined withignoreCase="yes" input, because it did less harm. So, keep in mind about issues #1.

Note: For changing ignoreCase attribute edit sourcemod.xml file.
