Now with better formatting support, improved 2DA editing, and richer WeiDU intellisense.

You get formatting, and you get formatting, everyone gets formatting!

Document formatting is now available for TRA, MSG, 2DA, and scripts.lst files. As a reminder, VS Code hotkey for this feature is CTRL-SHIFT-I.

2DA highlighting

2DA tables get support for rainbow highlighting via semantic tokens, which should make larger tables easier to read and work with.

WeiDU built-in functions params

Built-in WeiDU functions now have their parameter data structured, getting feature parity with user-defined functions.

Translation entries .tra and .msg files now support find references feature, showing usage across consumer files such as .ssl, .baf, .d, .tp2, .tssl, .tbaf, and .td.

Fallout SSL also gets go to definition for #include paths, so jumping from an include line to the referenced file now works directly from the editor.

On the Infinity Engine side, there’s now support for weidu.log:

  • Syntax highlighting.
  • Go to definition on ~mod/path.tp2~ entries resolves to the matching .tp2 file.

Binary editor improvements

The binary editor now handles invalid PRO and MAP values more defensively. Saving from the editor, or exporting to JSON, will clamp out-of-range values to the nearest supported in-format value.

JSONs are now schema-validated, which should make generated files more predictable for tooling and diffs.

Main new feature

Binary viewer has graduated to binary editor. And now it supports Fallout MAP files too:

Fallout map file editor

Additionally, you can dump to and load from JSON, saved near the original file. Finally, there’s a new setting bgforge.binaryEditor.autoDumpJson that will automatically dump binary files to JSON on saving, for easy diff viewing and clearer git history.

Important note

  • MAP format is complicated and may not be fully decoded without all PRO files that it references, which may not necessarily be shipped in mods. Because of that, MAP support is best-effort: objects are not displayed and cannot be changed.
  • PRO format is static and self-contained, allowing for full round-trip support.

In other news

Added new bit type to JSdoc, both Fallout and WedDU types. Use for flags.

v3.3: Semantic highlighting

The big addition in 3.3 is semantic highlighting for function and macro parameters across all supported languages. This means parameters are now visually distinct from other identifiers, making code easier to read at a glance.

WeiDU translation references styling has also been unified across BAF, D, and TP2, and textmate highlighting updated to match intellisense data more closely.

Fallout SSL semantic highlighting

WeiDU TP2 semantic highlighting

v3.4: Hover documentation and extended syntax

Hovering over engine procedures in Fallout SSL now displays built-in descriptions, with user JSDoc appended after a separator.

Fallout SSL grammar has been extended to support more syntax:

  • for loops with compound assignment operators (+=, -=, *=, /=).
  • Token-paste operator ## in macro bodies beyond procedure names.
  • include directives with bare identifier paths (no quotes needed).
  • switch case/default with begin...end block bodies.
  • Macro parameter rename now works.

Plus a number of parsing and stability fixes across all languages.

The main new feature is find references - now available for both Fallout SSL and WeiDU TP2 and D.

outline and references

The outline view has also been improved — procedures and functions now show their parameters and local variables as children, making it easier to navigate large files.

On the reliability side, compilation and validation got a number of under-the-hood fixes to handle concurrent edits and external compilers more gracefully.

Setting changes:

  • validateOnSave, validateOnType toggles are consolidated into a single validate setting.
  • Fallout SSL now has falloutSSL.compileOnValidate toggle, which allows to disable saving resulting .int to the destination directory on every validation.

This is a grand update, including more advanced features for every supported language, as well as 2 new transpiled dialects: TD and TSSL.

Here’s a pic to grab some attention: d preview

SSL and TP2 get rename, file symbols, autoformat, additional JSdoc features for functions and variables, folding ranges.

TSSL is a typescript-based Fallout SSL-like language. Its companion project is FOlib.

TD is a way to write IE dialogs in TS. Like TBAF, it uses IETS.

Also added:

  • Binary viewer
  • Dialog tree preview
  • Formatting!
  • Go to translation entry.
  • And more. Check forum announcement for changelog and details on various features.

All this for a very low cost of melting our polar caps just a little bit more! Enjoy! And go make some great mods!
