G-Ace

An in-game code editor for Garry's Mod.

Features

• Ace editor, which is used internally, supports syntax highlighting, auto completion, multiple cursors, themes, many language modes etc..
• First class Git support using gm_git
• Instant GLua documentation lookup using glua-docs
• Collaborative editing using ot.js and ot.lua
• IO outside the data/ folder using g-ace-io

Requirements

G-Ace works out of the box.

Access outside data/ folder: g-ace-io
Git support: gm_git

The modules in releases might not be up to date enough to work with G-Ace. In that case compile them yourself or bug me with an issue.

Installation

Run git clone https://github.com/wyozi/g-ace.git in garrysmod/addons.

Usage

gace-open to open editor.
gace-reopen to re-open editor (use this if the HTML panel crashes or something like that).

Testing

Run gace-test in console to run the test suite.

Setup

You can use "Create VFolder" button in G-Ace to create a temporary vfolder. Command is available to superadmins.

To create a simple over-map-changes persistent gace-io folder, run this code on server (eg lua/autorun/server):

local f = gace.VFS.RealGIOFolder("folder", "./garrysmod/addons/gitaddon")
f:grantPermission("players", gace.VFS.ServerPermission)

gace.Root:addVirtualFolder(f)
