Whats the best Editor to use for coding?

[legacy-Kaoh]

I used HomeSite from early on for uscript (using a JS highlight) but now use WOTGREAL.
Although its a great idea, it really needs some work.
It has a huge overhead, some features are really anoying, and some are really great (the function/events lists is great but I hate the class linking)
Its still unstable and creates regurly 100% processor use crashes etc.

I can live with it, should spent some time checking customize options before I really judge it
but when its done its going to be a great editor and sure worth money.

Bahaa, I don't even use notepad, I'm so far behind. I'm using windows ME dos shell EDIT command XD
Its actually quite useful for my needs.

"CTRL ALT D" is not doing anything. no white. This is in the Game itself right?

There is a prior step needed to make it work. Here's the original post by Dr. SiN about it:

There's some pretty sweet GUI functionality built into UT2K3.

if you hit "CTRL ALT D" you can then CTRL CLICK any gui object inside the main one (they will turn white showing its hilighted)

Then if you hit the ALT key (dont let go of CTRL) you can move the selected object with your mouse.

You can re-size the guiObject using CTRL and the +/- symbols (keypad does width, other does height)

The coolest part is: You can now CTRL C while on a moved, resized object and then ALT TAB out of UT back into your editor and CTRL V the new properties!!

Pretty sweet schtuff!

UMake was created to make compiling a matter of a simple keystroke from any text editor one might use for UnrealScript coding.

I didnt like any of them, so I wrote my own. Notepad with F keys for compiling, running, viewing logs, basic stuff.

But you need custom UScript syntax highlight that I made.
PM me your email and I'll send it to you (9KB).

EDIT:
I just found a way how to call ucc from the editor. :up:

It helps if you have syntax highlight, tabs to open several documents at once, line numbers and also a cool feature called FOLDING where the functions can be folded so that big classes can be overlooked and navigated more easy.
