LUA Language plugin for Visual Studio 2012

[Raizor]

I've found another LUA plugin for VS that seems a lot better than this one (has some intellisense support for a start). I can't recall the name and don't have the files here at work, but I'll upload it tonight. I've managed to get it working in VS 2012, but not 2013 yet (as I don't have it installed, and probably won't until it's released).

NPLanguage is what I've been using lately. I prefer it.

If you want to get it to install for VS2012, rename the .vsix to .zip, open the manifest and change the VS version number from 10 to 11. Rename back to .vsix, and install

Thanks for the zips and the link to the alternative one

Amazing job Raizor.

The last few days I have trying to port vslua dot codeplex to vs 2012 but unsuccessful try,  my compiles always give-my errors!

Your good work save-my some weeks or months.

Glad it's helped CLRPizzas

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 dude!  I'll have a look!

Thanks, I realize its been a while, but I signed up to get this.
I have the "Lua Language" extension loaded and enabled in Visual Studio 2012.
When using the Dark theme, I see no improvement in syntax highlighting - the Lua text is unreadable in this theme.

Does Visual Studio 2012 in the Dark Theme with this plugin work properly for others?

Thanks.
