notepad ++

I want to use notepad ++ as my script editor ,I need
to know how to have it compile my script and run it
through acknex ..

I have a run command option in notepad++ but I do
not know what to run and with what arguments

okay never mind I got it to run my script .

where can I find a list of compiler arguments ?

I ran it with acknex.exe and my script as argument.

compile a project with SED with -diag, and you can find it in the acklog.txt the options as "Options MapBuilder.c -nx 300 -diag -ta" (what I don't know what is -ta, which is sometimes different e.g. -tx, maybe engine edition dependent, but you can check also what Horus IDE applies)

Just replace acknex.exe with an exe which displays running args or download Process Hacker or Process Explorer to view start parameters

i don't think this is necessary as gamestudio already logs its own start parameters into the acklog.txt

I use "-diag -nx 200 %filename" for running my scripts from Programmers Notepad

okay cool I will try those , because without any parameters I am able to execute my script, however with a "cannot find openal32.dll" error which I can bypass with the ok button .

is openal staticly linked to SED because I haven't
installed it ,but SED finds no issue with that ?

I can use SED still , because I changed to a color theme that is better on my eyes ,but the fonts suck
and frankly notepad++ looks and feels better especially since I am using the dark concave windows theme..

Perhaps I will switch to another ide/editor later on ..

no, OpenAL must be installed into your system
Else it won't work. I don't know why it works with SED.

okay I have no issues anymore , also found the information I need in the manual under engine-engine options ..
