I've been doing some LUA work recently and have also upgraded to Visual Studio 2012. Unfortunately, there's no LUA plugin for VS 2012 to support syntax highlighting etc. I decided to have a go at porting VSLua over to VS 2012 and it's worked well.

I've attached the extension to this post in case anyone else would find it useful.

Cheers,

Raizor

EDIT: I've also attached the source to this post too.

Thanks Raizor, I was looking for this

I don't know I f I can keep up posting everyday hahaha, I'll try. Anyway nice to meet you guys all

I don't think the Express edition supports installing extensions. I might be mistaken though. Please let us know if you give it a try

Thank you for this plugin! I prefer to stay within Visual Studio and not have to download a separate editor. This is helpful.

Indeed, Express edition can't detected when I'm trying install this plugin

Well so I just need to extend my trial license in Ultimate

Just to be clear, I didn't write the LUA plugin, I just made it compatible with Visual Studio 2012. The original plugin came from here. Doesn't look like they've updated for 2012 yet though

thx for the plugin. It works well but sometimes shows error message box.

Does it support intellisense so far >.< though I've not find an IDE supports it perfectly

I've never seen the error messagebox myself. Intellisense is tricky due to a number of factors, especially LUA being loosely typed. I might have a look at adding this at some point, but it's a really tedious job, so there are plenty or more exciting things to focus on atm

Unfortunately the plugin wont run on Visual Studio 2012 Express

svcondor · May 04, 2013

Many thanks, don't know lua yet but this should help a lot.

lliihhaaoo · May 08, 2013

Many thanks! I really need the Vs2012 lua.

zazu · May 11, 2013

Thanks a ton! This will definitely come in handy.

And yeah, found this site only because of this topic.

Quite lots of One post wonder here, nicking LUA Files on here

and never post again as that not good at all!

I would like to see LUA Forum on DBF where people show their work on what they have done as that may help

or

if any person post 10 or more then they have the LUA Files which I think seem fair......

It is up to Shockwave on what he think about that as I guess he doesnt want too many One post wonder by end of year as if person havnt post more than 1 year thefore they should have warning when they received their email and if they haven't bother to respond then their account should be delete!

what do you think guys?

Haha, what do I think? I think you need to calm down a bit Hotshot

They have to register in order to download attachments. I don't see any of this being a big issue, at least not for me. I uploaded the plugin conversion here as I figured it may drive some traffic to DBF and a small number of the people who registered to download it may end up sticking around. Seeing posts like yours is unlikely to encourage people to want to stay and contribute. That's my two cents anyway

I won't lie, I registered because I had to. It would have been nice not to have to register to yet another forum, but it's all good. I've been browsing a little bit, and I may at the very least become a lurker, reading up on stuff and making the occasional post. I'm not a full fledged developer - I just code to create quick solutions or utilities when there's a need.

Anyway, I hope Hotshot's sentiment isn't shared among the majority here. I understand it, but don't agree with it . . . but hey, I'm just the FNG.

iomk · May 13, 2013

Downloading now, gonna try it later... Nice share.

BlazesRus · July 10, 2013

You thinking of porting this to Visual Studio 2013?

pasman · July 18, 2013

Awesome work!
