This download provides syntax highlighting and auto-completion for Lua and it's standard libraries, as well as Lua commands and keywords specific to GameGuru.

*Requires Notepad++ 6.2 or greater
*Updated 12/9/15 - added 29 functions + 18 globals, fixed decimals, changed Lua syntax from 5.3 to 5.1
*Updated 1/6/16 - added auto-completion file
*Updated 3/22/16 - supports version GameGuru 1.12 (adds 7 globals and over 20 new functions)
*Updated 7/18/16 - supports version GameGuru 1.131 (added +/- 90 keywords)

Installation:
1. Download "GameGuru.zip" from the Google Drive link provided below (CRC32 = B44DD83E)
2. Extract the 2 files "GameGuru_syntax_highlighting.xml" and "GameGuru.xml" to a convenient location
3. Open Notepad++
4. Click "Language" on the menu bar, then click "Define your language" from the pull-down menu
5. Now you should have a window titled "User Defined Language" - click the "Import" button
6. Browse to the location where you extracted "GameGuru_syntax_highlighting.xml" in step 2, select it and click "Open"
7. You should receive the message "Import successful"
8. Close Notepad++
9. Copy "GameGuru.xml" to Notepad++'s \plugins\APIs\ folder (possibly "C:program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\")
10. Re-open Notepad++ and select "GameGuru" from the "Language" menu, or open a Lua file with Notepad++

Under "Settings-Preferences-Auto-Completion" you can adjust some settings. CTRL+Space for manual completion.

Sorry, that should have read GameGuru.xml. I've corrected my original post.

I'm not sure why it's not working for you. I've tested it on a couple other machines without any problems. I have edited the original post again, to try and make the instructions more clear.

It wont work with any Notepad++ versions prior to 6.2, due to differences in the User Defined Language specification.
I'm using Notepad++ 6.8.7, which uses UDL 2.1.0.12.
I've tested on Notepad++ 6.2(the first version that supports UDL 2) and it's working.

If you are not using any other User Defined Language, you can try to import it manually by renaming "GameGuru.xml" to "userDefineLang.xml" and placing it inside your Notepad++ folder.

Notepad++ does support automatic completion of keywords and functions with optional parameter hints for functions. I may look into this if as time permits. Notepad++ does have manual completion(Ctrl+Enter) that works with this GameGuru UDL file. Thank you for the suggestion.

Go into your scriptbank folder and open up the global.lua file, that has all of the commands available listed with brief information on their syntax.
