UltraEdit 32 - Worth The $$$?

#1 If you're going to pay for a program to write Torque Script with there's nothing better than Torsion right now. It can be purchased for $40 here at the GG store. It is a fabulous product, and well worth the money. If you are familiar with Microsoft Visual Studio, the controls will be instantly intuitive. The ease with which you can insert breakpoints in script and examine their values in real-time will save you so much time in debugging you won't believe it.

If you simply can't spend the money then check out CodeWeaver. It's free, and does much of the same things that Torsion does.

#2 They're is another good free program called Dev C++ reall good program to.

#3 And if you are looking just for an advanced text pad in the vein of ultraEdit, Notepad++ (open source) its one of the best options.

#4 Just stick with Torsion, nothing beats it for Scripting / Debugging for this engine.

#5 Torsion, beats everything hands down. Its specifically designed for the job and does it so very, very well.

#6 I have to agree, Torsion's debugging feature is a life saver and its built in script management is a real time saver.

#7 Matt, I've tried them all and trust me when I say this........TORSION It's hands down absolutely worth the money. It's designed specifically for torque script where notepad++ and UltraEdit are just general editors for various languages.

#8 I used and loved UltraEdit for at least 10 years...huge fan (enough that I actually bought it for every computer I purchased over those 10 years, instead of just transferring my license to a new computer).

For TorqueScript, I wouldn't (and don't) use anything but Torsion...hopefully that underlines everyone else's comments :)

#9 It's not maintained anymore (I don't believe it is anyway), but there used to be a JEdit plug-in called TIDE (Torque IDE). I used it for quite some time for Torquescript and vim for source work. I switched to Torsion last year and haven't looked back.

I've never looked closely at Codeweaver, but apparently it's the way to go if you don't want to pay for Torsion licensing.
