Lua IDE - Pony IDE (Better Lua Script Editor)

Searching for a Lua IDE or at least a better editor then the one in game?
This guide can help you.

Why is the ingame Editor not perfect?

• No undo & redo
  
• no autocomplete of available functions
  
• documentation is on another page then the code
  
• very hard to debug because there is no print function
  
• needs many clicks to do between spawn and edit and back

Features

• Run any code (fully supports game API)
  
• Minify your code (Reduce character count by up to 80%)
  
• Unminify code (Pretty prints code, if minified with this IDE it does even more)
  
• Interactively build your own UI without any Lua programing knowledge
  
• Persistently stores multiple code projects in your browser (history of your projects)
  
• Share code with other people (and publish updates of the code later)
  
• Manage your own functions (e.g. frameworks and libraries)
  
• Built in debugging functionality (run step by step, print to console, slow down tickrate and drawrate)
  
• Autocompletion (known functions of lua, game and ide, plus your own defined functions, variables and arguments)
  
• Control inputs (manually or automatically with example data)
  
• Control properties
  
• Outputs visualized
  
• Examples and Learning Lua Section with Guides
  
• Interactive and detailed documentation for every function (lua, game and ide debugging)
  
• All monitor sizes (supports virtual zoom, monitor rotation and overflow)
  
• Can simulate game HTTP api (when installing a browser addon)
  
• Touchscreen support
  
• Can be downloaded for offline use (adjustable font size, fullscreen editor mode)
  
• Supports mobile devices
  
• Colorpicker with optional monitor gamma correction
  
• Library: keep your utility functions in here and let them be highlighted in the editor code

After one year and many many additional features the time has come to rework the Lua IDE from almost scratch. Especially the User interface was way too crowded.

After many weeks of work i can proudly present the successor: Pony IDE

- Changes -
Obviously the biggest change is the new look and feel, including the tab viewsa and a fully customizable layout.

But i also worked on the code under the hood. The drawing is now way more realistic then ever before, i added a more detailed and searchable documentation, a better map and a special coding mode for mission lua that is still WIP but already has by far the best documentation available out there.

- Compatibility -
The new Pony IDE is 100% compatible with all old share codes and with all old "saved" states of the Lua IDE.

- Preview -
The next version will contain a history for all your shared codes, a history of all your codes you recently saved, and you can finally modify your own shared codes.

This is incredible. So much easier to write scripts now. Thanks
