Quick Catch-up - Anyone using Visual Code have any other things they load for it?

Long time back, I recall enabling some Lua plugins and even some things that helped with FG.

However, that HD crashed and while I got much of my stuff out (thanks to git) I didn't get my "tools" for VSCODE.


That said, any other tools folks use and even IDE's I'd love to hear about. I know about Ruleset Editor (and own it), I don't mean that - I mean for hands-dirty work.
My first ever lua work was in an old Eclipse with lua (deprecated) plugin - it was nice in it let me right-click-go pretty well but that was it.

I know I used I think Moon's experimental xml or data file? to "know" most of which identifiers belonged to FGU. This was probably not kept up seeing how many major changes and upgrades have gone on and the workload - but anything that might help me on VSCode or an argument for what different IDE I should use would be welcome.

I use VScode with just LUAcheck for pure coding in FGU. I still use RulesetWizard mostly for the template browser and window creation.

OMG - I used to post how I used that exact system - meaning RulesetWizard was amaxing for a browser of the templates. Totally forgot that use of it. Been a while and I am old ;P Thanks.

Luacheck is likely the add-on. I'll try to search history soon.

* Sublime Text for main editing (Lua syntax; and able to set up project to search across multiple projects quickly (50+ rulesets; 50+ extensions)). Tried VSCode, but kept doing stuff I didn't want. (but it has been a couple years since I last tried.)
* Notepad++ for text searching entire catalog (3500+ folders with multiple file types) (faster than other programs so far)
* Luacheck for code checking (sporadically; since setting up config files to be aware of all packages in FG client and FG Core takes a lot of time.)

For the Luacheck - is this a standalone I should search for?
I recall a version I integrated with VSCode - when I checked extensions now, I see:
1) "Luacheck" 23K DLs, from rog2 - 8 years ago uploaded and last updated.
2) "vscode-luacheck" 14K DLs, from dwenegar 10y ago first uploaded, 2 years ago last update

I recall I had trouble before I configured it to work nicely - I used Moon's at-the-time FGClient/FGCore files and that was reallllly useful.

Still playing wtih baseline relearning where left off in code vs doing new so will see if I took notes on how I configed it.

I wonder, MW, do you keep "last updated version" of that config file of identifiers in a public place?

After looking more (easily distracted) I found vscode-lua (251K DLs, trixnz 9y updloaded, 8updated.and it talks about downloading luacheck to configure with it - now I think I recall I am reliving the mistake or issue I had long back - I ended up installing multiple extensions for same time of task
