#Is there a quick tool to convert scripts into an extension?

this could be a misunderstanding on my part, but it seems like to write a GML extension you need to stick all your functions into a single .gml file (or potentially a few .gml files). doing this manually is going to be a pain, does a tool exist to do this automatically? is there some in-built mechanism in GM that does this for us?

yeah, seems like this, and I believe that using command line it should be possible to merge such file, but that would require some short script (depending on which platform you want to do this)

#

for me it looks like some GMS1.4 legacy

#

however, because it still uses argument0 etc. it could be very hard to auto-convert it from GML2.3+

#

been thinking about distributing some libraries as extensions to avoid ctrl+shift+F results getting cluttered

#

might have to wait until prefabs

#

but then ... what's the macro situation going to be

#macro __you_wont_guess_my_extension_prefix_for_macros_SOME_SETTING true

#macro __SCROBBLE

#

they'll never see it coming

pretty easy to write a bash or python or whatever config script to automate all that i'm certain
