Program that checks code?

Post by the best »

If any of you are familiar with Unity (www.unity3d.com) then you may also know that the program they use checks the code you put in for errors and shows you exactly where the errors lie so that you can easily fix them. It's really nice to work with as it practically does it the instant you change it. What I'm wondering is if there is an equivalent program that does the same for the things you do for SWBI/II. Or is it possible to make notepad++ do this? Anyway if any of you know that'd be cool if you could tell me, thanks!

The only debugging tool built for SWBF2 is the BF2_Modtools.exe and the log file it generates. You can use code editors (like Notepad++, as you mention) to check for logic errors (like missing brackets), but you can't use them to test for game-specific code errors.
