FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I have been looking for a good editor and i have found notepad++. spend a hour or two working out how to add syntax highlighting and syntax folding. Auto completion is next to work out.

did some one made a lua script editor for minetest?

can i do it too with textpad?

Yes, but Textpad is not comfortable

ok thanx

on which type of file must i save my lua file

Syntax highlighting should work once you save the file with ".lua" extension, or you can enable it in some menu.

Gedit is quite good. It does support syntax highlightening for a lot of scripting languages.
It is avaible for Windows and Linux.

.lua

I can't find it in my type of save-bar?!

LuaEdit at http://luaedit.sourceforge.net/
Totally rocks. I think it even has Lua debugging.
