Oh that explains why i can see the function
slate nova
its missing newer functions

shockingly, the wiki scraper is the part of this system that has somehow stayed reliable over the years
slate nova
oh yeah it does have it
wary fog

you gotta manually add missing shit to this lmfao https://github.com/WilliamVenner/vscode-glua-enhanced/blob/master/syntaxes/lua.tmLanguage.json
rain kayak
oh no
wary fog
would be cool if someone PR'd something that can do it automatically though
rain kayak
nonono
slate nova
💀
rain kayak
yeah
slate nova
what the slop
wary fog
you guys dont understand how slop this extension actually is
rain kayak
i guess we could just write a lua script for that
slate nova
https://venner.io/gmod-wiki.json
is this automatically updated from time to time? can this be used for it
wary fog
is this automatically updated from time to time? can this be used for it
yeah i have a server somewhere that updates it daily or whatever
the extension already downloads this automatically
and stores it
permanently
slate nova
would you be interested in a github action that does it automatically
rain kayak
The amazing part of this, is that it's not AI slop
slate nova
ill just make a script people can run easily for now
actions are a pain in the ass to test
rain kayak
Compared to SrLi*n RNDX shader
wary fog
would you be interested in a github action that does it automatically
not particularly because
- github automatically disables that shit after a certain amount of time
- the wiki embedded in the extension is only there to serve as an ancient default, ideally you should always have an up to date copy as it'll just download https://venner.io/gmod-wiki.json
unless i die of course
but arrangements have been made for that event
rain kayak
don't worry gonzo, ill be sure to ai slop this script together
Thanks, now i'm concerned about what's even worth to be updated into it 
wary fog
The amazing part of this, is that it's not AI slop
shit was invented before AI 😭🙏🏻
probably would've been better if i had access to AI really
rain kayak
I kinda understand why it's like this
It's incredible THIS was being ran for over the past 5 years on my computer
slate nova

slate nova
😴
wary fog
there's space for someone else to make a much better extension that is more of a full solution than hacked together slop
we almost got one https://github.com/LorettaDevs/Loretta but he lost motivation unfortunately
rain kayak
I have been doing glua for over 15 years, i will die on this hill, with your extension billy
wary fog
i dont fucking know how it's still working after all these years 
slate nova
ai slop
wary fog
lol
ehm i think theres a second issue to address
i dont think the syntax highlighting file can be programmatically changed at runtime in vscode
or at least, its not set up like that yet
let me go look if thats possible
wary fog
atm it does this
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#contributes.grammars
cant seem to find an api that lets you do this programmatically
wary fog
whats wrong with it :v
wary fog
fix it clanker
ideally it should just highlight all functions to be honest
idk why it hard codes available functions
wary fog
just needs a regex to highlight <identifier>.<identifier><whitespace>(
slate nova
i think you'd still need to do all the hardcoding for the constants
wary fog
oh yeah that is true
oh wow
a provider could be made that just does this
i wonder if the clanker could do it
wary fog
what even was its implementation
wouldn't it need to actually parse lua
im pretty sure the extension doesnt ever parse lol?
slate nova
slate nova
yeah nah, its doing terrible
wary fog
slate nova
ai slop aint there yet
wary fog
good, we get to keep our jobs for now
