GECKScript.vim

Enables Vim's syntax highlighting and code completion for GECK Script, the scripting language used by Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Features

• Highlighting for all built-in commands and syntax
• Includes all Fallout Script Extender (FOSE) commands
• Includes all known New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) commands as of NVSE v2 beta 9
• Associates .gek files with GECK Script when opened in Vim

Install

If using Pathogen:

Install to the bundle directory, e.g.: cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/infectedsoundsystem/geckscript.vim.git

Manually:

Place the ftdetect and syntax directories into your Vim runtime path, e.g.

Linux:

• ~/.vim/ftdetect/geckscript.vim
• ~/.vim/syntax/geckscript.vim

Windows:

• %USERPROFILE%\Documents\vimfiles\ftdetect\geckscript.vim
• %USERPROFILE%\Documents\vimfiles\syntax\geckscript.vim

Usage

Start saving your GECK scripts with the .gek file extension (e.g. mygroovyscript.gek), and Vim will automatically recognise them and start highlighting. You can also use: set ft=geckscript

To enable code completion, either:

• Use neocomplcache (recommended)
• Or, run the following when editing a script:

  setlocal omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete
  

If neocomplcache is used, indications will be given as to whether a command is built-in, for FOSE (and therefore NVSE), or for NVSE only.
