MonoDevelop Hijacking

Unity Engine
1

Hi all,

I don’t remember what the old simple default scripting editor in unity was called, but I liked it because it loaded quickly and I could highlight a snip-it of code, hit f1 and go to the related syntax library help page very quickly and easily.

After updating to Unity 3.4, I no longer have the option of using this editor in the preferences and I am forced to use MonoDevelop which is now listed as my default.

It may be my fault, because I accidentally said yes to installing MonoDevelop, but I really want the old simple editor back. Does anyone know how I can go about doing this, or if the people at Unity have ditched it?

I really don’t like having to use bloated code editors, but if I can get my quick f1 links back I’d take that over nothing. If someone knows how to sync the Unity Script Reference with MonoDevelop or Visual Studio, I’d be happy to hear about that too.

Thanks All

It was called UNISciTE. It’s still there and you can set it in preferences… where you have MonoDevelop click Browse and go to ProgFiles(X86)/Unity/Editor/Data/Tools/UniSciTE and click on the exe.

One note… the version shipped with 3.4 is not doing some of the blue colouring that was so useful, but if you still have 3.3 installed in a different folder, pick that version of UniSciTE not the version shipped with 3.4 and you will be all back to normal again :slight_smile:

Second note… in 3.3 if you clicked on an error in the console, UniSciTE took you directly to the appropriate line, I am not seeing that in 3.4, but then it didn’t seem to be doing that in Mono either… not useful, but you’re loosing nothing by changing back to UniSciTE.
