What are people using for an editor/ide to write lua scripts? I am using good old note pad.

I really like Ultraedit - fast, low footprint, lots of functionality.

Notepad. Simple, and with lots of black text on a white background... <.<... >.>.. (no, this isn't a selling point...)

Did a bit of research on Wikipedia to come up with Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm). Includes syntax highlighting and block collapsing for lua and xml, as well as tabbed documents. Plus it's free :)

I'm using Visual Studio. It doesn't do any Lua syntax highlighting, but it is a familiar tool that does xml reasonably well.

I aloso use Notepad++ the folding option is very useful when creating a ruleset

I've been using LuaEdit.

JEdit (www.jedit.org) is free, and has a load of syntax highlighting and additional plugins

Note ++ is the best

Oh, I also use metapad - it's free. I replaced notepad.exe with it.

for what it's worth, I replaced ultraedit with notepad++ mostly because my licensed version of UE has fallen far enough behind that notepad++ is superior. For those that use it I recommend you also install the xml plugin that will help if you do hand editing of your xml. On file open, or when invoked directly it will do syntax checking for you and help find minor problems that can lead to big annoyances in FG.
