CFG Editing

[dtoxic]

i was wondering is there a tool that could help with editing Part CFG,s in a way that would check (any error/typo/brackets with coding)

thx

Not that I know of, but it could probably be made. You would simply need to create a form editor with a descriptor language for known fields and the ability to add unknown ones and save them to the secondary "user" descriptor file.

The form editor should probably be tree-based.

It shouldn't be two hard to create a program to generate cfg files. They are a simple C-like format, that appears close to Javascript. It might be a limited dialect of Unity Script, but I'm not sure.

Still there are a number of syntax highlighting editors that should be able to edit these by hand: Notepad 2, Cream, Kate, Kwrite, MousePad and Gwrite work if you set it to JavaScript, ActionScript, jScript or ECMA Script (all three the same filter.)

If you use Notepad++ and set the encoding Language to Python, you can easily identify missing / improperly closed brackets in KSP CFG files.
