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



Features
========

* Colour scheme that's easy on the eyes
* Highlighting and completion 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 Notepad++



Install
=======

Place the "plugins" folder into your Notepad++ program directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++) & merge with the existing plugins folder.

Then open Notepad++, select View -> User-Defined Dialogue..., and click the Import... button. Navigate to and select the geckscript-lang.xml file, then close the dialog.



Usage
=====

Start saving your GECK scripts with the .gek file extension (e.g. mygroovyscript.gek), and Notepad++ will automatically recognise them and start highlighting. You can also select Language -> GECKScript in any file.

Press Ctrl+Space for code-completion.

To change the colours/fonts, go to View -> User-Defined Dialogue..., and select GECKScript in the User language dropdown box.

reinhart_menken and Useruser3 - I previously used their highlighting and completion files for Notepad++, before creating my own.

Henning Hasemann (http://www.leetless.de/vim.html) - I roughly based the colour scheme on Vim's Pyte colorscheme
