What tool did T2 team use when editing scripts?

Subject says it all - what tool did they use? Did they use UltraEdit or MSVC++ or Notepad or vi or all of the above?
Just curious,

A few more features and easier to use than Wordpad, plus it's not Microsoft, so that's a plus :)

Try Tribal IDE its a good editor for T2 scripts and what the majority of the T2 modding community uses

Syntax highlighting, project management, etc. It's all there in a nice clean package

I really have to reccomend Tribal IDE like others here have. It was built for the T2 modder in mind (which, in a way is what you are doing with Torque).Syntax highlighting, project management, etc. It's all there in a nice clean package

Isn't it against the license to use Tribal IDE for a commercial product?As for me I use VC++...that way I have all my code in one place.

No the license only says if you want to sell the actual IDE then you need to ask me first. Feel free to use it in commericial Torque projects.

Seriously, I have used all of those at one time or another, and while I don't remember why, I always ended up back in Notepad. Go figure...

I also have tried many tools and always end up in notepad for scripting. Don't really know why.

Er, I use notepad.

Note pad is for HTML, not scripting :p

After using Tribal IDE I don't see how you can go back. Colored syntax highlighting paired with a nice project and search tool and the ever popular Function list... how can it be beat?Note pad is for HTML, not scripting :p

Just to throw in another two cents--I use Lemmy20; its both unix and windows compatible. It uses either Windows hot keys or vi hotkeys. Also, it leaves no hidden characters (as does Notepad); this is particularly for me since I work cross platform a lot.

I must say that Tribal IDE is a very nice program, very professional looking.
