Visual Studio Code setup for Space Engineers script development

Primary LanguageC#

Here are the steps to set up Visual Studio Code for Space Engineers ingame script development.

This will provide an environment where autocompletion / intelisense and syntax checking work.

  • I'll assume you already have SE installed!

  • Install Visual Studio Code (VSC)

  • Install the following VSC Extensions

    • install c# extension in VSC (OmniSharp)
    • install NuGet Package manager VSC Extension

  • install .net cli tools / SDK (needed?)

  • install net framwork devpack 4.6.1

  • Then clone this directory structure.

  • If you have a non-standard SE location, change SpaceEngineers.csproj

  • 'open folder' (this folder) from VSC.

  • copy starter-template.cs to a new file for each script you create

  • change the namespace

  • Put your code changes between the region tags (see comment in template)
