A file type plugin for Neovim that includes syntax highlighting for the Papyrus scripting language used in TES5: Skyrim.

There is also quickfix mode support to run the Papyrus compiler and parse its error messages.

For information on the Papyrus language, visit the Creation Kit website at http://www.creationkit.com/

Install with vim-plug:

Plug 'mkusm/nvim-papyrus'

Or with lazy.nvim:

Add this to your init.lua or plugins.lua:

{
    "mkusm/nvim-papyrus",
    config = function()
        vim.g.skyrim_install_path = 'D:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Skyrim Special Edition'
    end
}

To enable quickfix compiler support, you must set the skyrim_install_path variable to the path in which Skyrim is installed, eg (in your .lua config):

    vim.g.skyrim_install_path = 'D:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Skyrim Special Edition'

If the variable is set, this will configure the :make command to compile the script in the current buffer using default compiler flags. Any output (including error messages) will be sent to the quickfix list viewable via :copen.

Note Use backslashes in the path, even if using WSL. nvim-papyrus will convert them to forward slashes as needed.

You can also set the makeprg option manually, the error message support will still be available.

All parts of this plugin are under the public domain. I request that you drop me a note if you redistribute this with modifications, but you are under no legal obligation to do so.
