powerlord - are you able to get pawnstudio to do proper ... I don't know what it's called, but when you start to type a function or something, it pops up a hint thing that shows you the actual function and what each variable is - whatever's in the include file?

like how NP++ does

Yes, but only if the include file is in the SourceMod include directory or included using a relative path.

I think I figured out what's going on...

it would put the small little hint box when you were typing but would only show more details if you put your mouse over it... I was hoping to have it always show more details instead of the smaller hint box.

I'm switching back to pawnstudio from NP++... just need to get the colors right... for some reason, pawn studio shows the following as a partial comment because of the //'s

#define URL "http://blahblah.com"

it shows //blahblah.com in the comment colors...

Wait wait wait. You got NP++ to do the little popup thing? HOW?? Is there one for PHP? That's all that NP++ is missing for me to be a complete IDE.

ya... NP++ does the pop up hint box when you're coding - but only for <sourcemod> <cstrike> and <sdktools>

I'm going to either manually enter the other includes or run a script to add them to the sourcemod.xml.

The updated sourcemod.xml HERE is what I use for the hint pop up box thing... I use an older version of the userdefinedlanguage xml file because the one he posted incorrectly parses the text and creates funny looking colors sometimes

[McFlurry]

The pop up thing you mention is called auto complete. Enable it in Settings>Preferences>Backup/Auto-Completion
Tick Enable Auto-Completion on each input and Function parameter hints on input if you want it to help you with parameters. Also sourcemod.xml does highlight <tf2> and <tf2_stocks>.
McKay, it already has a php function library.

I just wish there was an easy way to update the sourcemod.xml with extra includes - smlib, sdkhooks, colors, updater... those are the ones I use most

but I'm working on it - need to fix my linux box so a script can create it - pearl script from here

ya, the hint box is autocomplete and the coloring of the text is syntax highlighting

pawnstudio is cool, but it crashes sooooo much - yesterday especially when typing LoadTranslations("blahblah"); it will crash even if I just place the curser in between the quotes...

same when typing SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_Spawn, SDKHook_OnEntitySpawn);... it will crash as soon as I start typing entity

it was crashing so much I went back to NP++

The reason Pawnstudio is better, IMO, is that it will load the .inc for autocomplete as I type the include... if NP++ did that, I would just use it, but it doesn't. I switch between both

Extract the file you downloaded somewhere. Put Socket's socket.inc in SourceMod's addons/sourcemod/scripting/include/ folder. Put the plugin you want to compile in addons/sourcemod/scripting/ folder. Drag the sp file to spcomp.exe One drawback of this is that the window will likely be immediately hidden if there's a compile failure. Still assuming Windows, the other way requires you to run cmd.exe, navigate to SourceMod's scripting folder, and run spcomp.exe pluginname.sp

But when I download SourceMod i dont have socket.inc

As the post you helpfully quoted states, the Sockets extension is not part of SourceMod.
