Over the years, I have been using various versions of Visual Studio as the IDE for my multi-file DM script projects. The code editor in GMS3 makes this less necessary, but VS provides very nice integration with Git source control, so it is very helpful in this way alone. Because DMS syntax is not too far off from C#, using VS for C# has worked fairly well in this way (with minor customizations). The latest version of Visual Studio seems to be a bit more finicky about what sort of files it will interpret as C# and it seems the best approach would be to add custom language support for DM Script to Visual Studio via a TextMate grammar file. I am about to generate such a file and would be willing to share it, once ready, but maybe someone already has created one or knows where to download one?
