THIS MODULE IS DEPRECATED! It will soon be delisted from Foundry's package manager. Fork or reuse this code at your discretion.

Please use VTTMacroEditor instead. It's what this project was based on anyway.

This Module is NOT compatible with Furnace, as they both use Ace.

Ace (Ajax.org Cloud9 Editor)

Features included for AceEditorVTT:

  • Javascript syntax highlighting.
  • Code autocompletion.
  • Error markings.
  • Line wrap.
  • Font size.
  • A selection of common editor themes, like Solarized Dark, Monokai, etc...

TODO

  • More editor options, with some being in the macro-editor instead of Module Settings.
  • Option for the editor to be default (don't have to click editor button).
  • Maybe Furnace compatibility?
  • Suggest more if you have ideas.
