[How-To] Notepad++ Syntax Highlighting Metin2 Quests Lua
After a while, I found back my modded notepad++ langs.xml containing all the old metin2 lua functions in there.

It's dated 2012 (I've added the recent langs.xml lua tags few hours ago for lua 5.2 as well), but I'll update it soon with the 40k functions and mine as well. (on github)

How to "install" it?

Well, open %appdata%\Notepad++\langs.xml and replace the <Language name="lua" ...> section with this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] (it doesn't allow me to use  comments though)

After that, restart notepad++, and it's done.

Result: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Enjoy your Christmas Abione.

Note: Some people should already have tried to do so in the past, but this is the nicest way I like.

Updated on github with the 40k functions as well. (and also others used by me)

Here's an example how you can dump all global functions without using an lookup table

Code:

local function dumpFunctions(tbl, done, preStr)
	local functions = {}
	local done = done or {tbl}
	local preStr = preStr or ""
	
	for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
		local path = ""
		if preStr == "" then
			path = k
		else
			path = string.format("%s.%s", preStr, k)
		end
		
		if type(v) == "function" then
			table.insert(functions, path)
		elseif type(v) == "table" then
			local currentTableAlreadyDone = false
			for _, tbl in ipairs(done) do
				if tbl == v then
					currentTableAlreadyDone = true
					break
				end
			end
			
			if not currentTableAlreadyDone then
				table.insert(done, v)
				
				for _, functionName in ipairs(dumpFunctions(v, done, path)) do
					table.insert(functions, functionName)
				end
			end
		end
	end
	
	return functions
end

local functions = dumpFunctions(_G)
for _, functionName in ipairs(functions) do
	print(functionName)
end

		elseif type(v) == "table" then

					break
				end
			end
			
			if not currentTableAlreadyDone then
				table.insert(done, v)
				
				for _, functionName in ipairs(dumpFunctions(v, done, path)) do
					table.insert(functions, functionName)
				end
			end
		end
	end
	
	return functions
end

local functions = dumpFunctions(_G)
for _, functionName in ipairs(functions) do
	print(functionName)
end

Don't forget to sort it before the for loop:
table.sort(functions)
The only problem doing it like this is that it will add a little of junk as well. (and we also need to separate the built-in methods from the metin2's ones)

It would be perfect for quest_functions though. It would become like this:

Code:

local function dumpFunctions(tbl, done, preStr)
	local functions = {}
	local done = done or {tbl}
	local preStr = preStr or ""

	for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
		local path = ""
		if preStr == "" then
			path = k
		else
			path = string.format("%s.%s", preStr, k)
		end

		if type(v) == "function" then
			table.insert(functions, path)
		elseif type(v) == "table" then
			local currentTableAlreadyDone = false
			for _, tbl in ipairs(done) do
				if tbl == v then
					currentTableAlreadyDone = true
					break
				end
			end

			if not currentTableAlreadyDone then
				table.insert(done, v)

				for _, functionName in ipairs(dumpFunctions(v, done, path)) do
					table.insert(functions, functionName)
				end
			end
		end
	end

	return functions
end

local functions = dumpFunctions(_G)
table.sort(functions)

local outFile = assert(io.open("quest_functions", "w"))
for _, functionName in ipairs(functions) do
	outFile:write(functionName.."\n")
end
assert(outFile:close())
