how to install notepad++ so the stupid colors change - reper1210 - 01-10-2013
can't get it to work so i'm pretty much hopeless when it comes to anything. don't copy and paste that 4 lines of w/e on the website, it doesn't help me any. i dragged the hps into the api folder, changed all the settings in the notepad++ settings/preferences area correctly and did w/e else it told me, so now what?

I think the colors and other helpers in notepad ++ depend on the language you're writing your code in (C#, C++, etc...). It doesn't recognize a .hps file as a known language, so it doesn't know what to do with it color-wise. If you save your .hps file as a different file type (for example .cs), you should see colors and rollouts and stuff. Just don't forget to change it back to .hps before using it in your Custom story!

or simply add .hps as an extension for c/c++ color coding, which you can you do in the style configurator.

you can download sublime which i believe is better than notepad ++ and you can colour it the way you want by going view--->Syntax------>ActionScript

simple isn't as simple for me, i went to style configurator and clicked on everything and there is no way to add anything to that page.

Ok just go to the 'Language' menu on the top bar, go to C, then select C++
