When you click youtube, what if the phone rotated sideways to be a horizontal view?

Also, you might be able to use [url]http://m.youtube.com/[/url] instead. It might load the mobile version of the website.

Couldn't find anything adding glualint to vscode so I gave making my own extension a shot:

[t]https://i.imgur.com/c3PxJaT.png[/t]

If anyone else is interested, you can use it by simply installing [url=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=goz3rr.vscode-glualint]my extension[/url] and having [url=https://github.com/FPtje/GLuaFixer]FPtje's glualint[/url] in your path. It'll activate for any file opened as lua or glua (the latter is not provided by my extension, I personally use [url=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=aStonedPenguin.glua]aStonedPenguin's extension[/url] for that)

I'll probably get around to adding a pretty printing and global analysis command later.

Vscode works faster than atom? Atom gets pretty buggy and sometimes really slow, like it's worth the change? Or it's just a visual change like sublime to atom is

[QUOTE=wauterboi;52863596]What about VSCode makes you uncomfortable?[/QUOTE]

I'm just very comfortable in Notepad++.

I really like the find and replace window from Np++ and I'm really familiar with the hotkeys and menus.

[Deathking15]

I used notepad++ and found the transition difficult at first. But almost 18 months later, I love and use it all the time. VSCode > Notepadd++

It seems like you're loading the mobile version, but I'd still recommended removing the scroll bars or replacing them with an equivalent that makes the scroll bars disappear after a few seconds from scrolling.

When I switched to Linux I was looking for an editor that was similar to notepad++. I figured notepad++ uses the Scintilla code editing component, so SciTE is close, except it's very bare bones. You can also extend SciTE with Lua.

There's also ZeroBrane which is built entirely in Lua. It's using wxWidgets and the Scintilla code editing component. It's a bit heavy and tries to be more of a lua ide rather than just text editor.

If you really like the simplicity of notepad++ maybe you'll like SciTE if you make some plugins for it. But I honestly don't see a reason to switch if you're efficient in notepad++ and only use windows.

Speaking of tools, my glua "emulator" converts glua to normal lua which could be useful for feeding into standard lua tools. Not sure if it works on windows atm, it did last time I tried.

download [url]https://github.com/CapsAdmin/goluwa[/url]
goluwa cli --glua2lua C:\someluafile.lua,C:\someotherluafile.lua
goluwa cli --gluacheck C:\someluafile.lua,C:\someotherluafile.lua

You can find the source code for the conversion code here

[wauterboi]

Honestly I just use vanilla Lua so standard Lua tools don't freak out and because my code will resemble existing code. Garry's change to Lua conventions with new operators aren't my cup of tea.

I do too for my own code, but when I have some old file open for reference it's nice to not have random errors.

On top of that glualint also warns you about gmod specific things, like deprecated functions

[Raox]

I bear with Atom. It has its issues in terms of starting time but the string/symbol auto completion and fact you can use FPtje's linter probably makes up for it. I'm not sure if there's other editors that have those readily available.

[FPtje]

It's awesome to see people are still using and even developing plugins for glualint. It has official plugins for atom and Sublime. Cool that it has one for vscode now too.

For fast startup, similar hotkeys to n++ (I think?) and cross OS compatibility I recommend Sublime. I switched to it from n++ and haven't looked back. Atom didn't do it for me, way too slow in general.

Also

[/QUOTE]
Yes. That is a function I put into the render library for good reason. Something like that is long overdue anyway, since you are rarely supposed to change only one of the result operators, especially without changing the comparison function itself.

As for the second unary minus, I am drawing an inside out box sized 64 units, instead of drawing a box sized -64 units.

In the end, I prefer my code to be more descriptive instead of being "correct" according to some constantly changing, and not really agreed upon rules.

Works fine for me on both maps apart some flickering due to the material using the wrong shader probably.

[QUOTE=MPan1;52868601]Sorry. I'm developing OCD and unless the style is identical to Garry's then I will [URL="https://pastebin.com/raw/Qe9AaWGP"]break my keyboard trying to fix it[/URL].
I know it's nitpicky, but I don't think Garry's style has varied since he wrote his first line of code, so I try to use it for everything.
You said your code was nice. It works and has a JavaScript sort of spacing style, but for me if the code does not have Garry's style, then it cannot be nice.

I appreciate your efforts to keep everyone's code consistent, but your rules are so needlessly pedantic that enforcing them will do more harm than good. And seeing that you've made 150 commits to your code style rules, you really need to make your own guidelines more consistent before shoving them on anyone. Everyone is unique. We evolve. So long as it's readable, optimised, reasonably consistent, and not a total trainwreck; I don't see that big of a problem. Consistency is nice, but ensuring arbitrarily specific rules like perfect spacing is unnecessary.

Don't read that rule book mess, it's only for my forgetfulness and junk.
The only thing I actually changed about the code was the spacing, which was meant to make it look more Garry, since it is Garry's Mod.

Also, whenever I add anything to that page it always ends up as a new commit.
If I could collapse commits I would, but I'm just trying to cover every possible situation for myself.
