upgraded NShader to work with vs2013 and unity

hi there,

i didn't know in which subforum to put this. shader/scripting?

well, you probably know about the syntax highlighting tool for visual studio, NShader.
it's a great tool which supports custom colors etc, but it wasn't updated a while and didn't support .shader file extensions.

so i just grabbed the source and added the missing pieces. you can download it here.



note: only makes sense if you use cg. if anyone is interested i might look into shaderlab support

cheers

 

Thank you. Worked for me.

 

Yes add shaderlab support too.

Anyway it doesn't Highlight my code inside VS2013...the addin looks like installed though ?
Here is a piece of the code of a sample shader named ColorizeMe.shader

 

if it doesn't work. go to the folder where it is installed.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\some random numbers
now copy the downloaded files into that folder.


now go to regedit and search for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\FontAndColors\Cache
and delete it.

start up vs.

tnx kris rok.

 

Thanks kris, it works.
I wish I could change the colors so they are suited better for the dark theme VS.
Shaderlab support would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

This is awesome. Thank you very much for your work!
But I assume it is not possible to customise the colours? This would be a key feature, as the colours used do not work well with the dark theme.

 

I've forked the VS2013 build of NShader and added a couple of new features. More info and a download here!

 

I read your page, it is awesome!
