My Advanced usage for IceCC/iscripting with use TEXT-CODE EDITOR-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
introductionNote:this is just my usage so u guys just referring to merit of this tutorials
and i'd not teach about how to write basical iceCC
So this Tip apply to an intermediate iscript coders
it's need to some coding experience but just need quite a little 1.My usage for writing iscript of IceCCBefore introduction,
i use powered text-code editor mainly when i work for writing iscript
n i use GRP preview animaite Tool when i want c my script for animation
Most General pplz, use notepad or wordpad in windows
and that good enough for use,
but you can work more easily with Advanced text editor
that drive u to Advanced Scriptor
some editor is need pay to buy suc as ultraedit/Editplus..etc
but there are many good freewares and they are so passable stuff
i suggest one out of many, that is "PSPad"
PSPad editor is very good freeware to coding
it's support these features :- work with various programming environments
- highlight syntax in code
- make self a custom small tool with simple controls
and it give capabilities of a mighty code editor 2 user
- smart search engine to direct find words editor PSPad is ready to work immediately,
without requiring customization. The editor supports many file types and languages,
with syntax highlighting. There are macros, clip files and templates to automate
repetitive activities. An integrated HEX Editor, Project support, FTP Client,
Macro Recorder, File Search/Replace, Code Explorer, code page conversion,
are just some of the many possibilities that PSPad can offer you.
and another good thing is i made Optimized high-light syntax in code for iceCC
if u load iscript *.TXT file,u can see high-light colors of each class
so u read source with more colorful, like this
Note : it might be not show syntax colors at fist opened time if script lines are too long
but u can see by order to View->Sytax at menusalso u can change syntax highlight colors as u please
But Most Great thing is u can use hotkey for strings of iceCC Script-code
it also i made hotkey to link to clip text for PSPad
for example, just press hotkey "CTRL+P" if u want write iceCC-word "playframno"
and that hotkey settings allow change as u please
what is better,there are showed iceCC-operation code list with popup windows
and u can pick one string of iceCC code list
those all code list already maded to cumstom option by me
just press Ctrl+Space at once then u'll see that popup list
PSPad is best choice for people who want to have
free functionality of professional for highlevel iceCC coder
visit hre if u want go PSPad offical website
http://www.pspad.com/my other introduce tool is CV5-Blizzard's GFX tool(Diablo,Starcraft)
it's allow u open,view,extract,convert,play animate with CV5 Script
that furnish more useful and Good functions
n u can get CV5 information from here
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopi...=0entry456841that's best combined collection for Expert of iscripting for the current
so it would be better for writting and check shape of animation rather guesswork
from my experience
1.iceCC/iscript coding with PSPadi did mention about PSPad above modified custom options and functions too
best good thing is that's totally FREEWARE so u use that full
u can use advance set with settings what maded by me When u run that PSPad
- PSPad layout and features for iceCC
ok guys, let me introduce PSPad layout and menus
i had set some layout and menus for IceCC also uguys can make either
1.Farvotie tool
add farvorite working files n website and link 2 programs
go to favorie tool what icon is heart at left toolbar
there 4 categories for adding
[1] Files -

2.Project tool
this tool useful when u got to work for sererval units script u can specify any text file on the Project
Also u can open specified all files at once from Project

4.Advanced search engine
PSPad allow searching word to deatils for u from Search Results windows
just select as u wanted line that's all,it's very simple
5.command line tool
it's allow running command dos directly such as decompile with icedc.exe
6. syntax highlighting
Do you like syntax highlighting in your code? then PSPad is for you
u can set highlighting colors as u please so u could read iceCC script more easily
aight we had look around what is merit of PSPad for iceCC coders
rest features is u guys's task referring to PSPad manual, u can see that by help menu of PSPad
there are so many great features
but it's not best one ever, there are many TEXT-CODE EDITOR
some would say lik this
" hey~! this is not best solution my editor is better good than this "right~! it's not best one , just my introuduction one of TEXT-CODE EDITOR
