Version 1.3.4 of Kick Assembler package for Sublime

Also, changes in version 1.3.3:

Version 1.3.2 of Kick Assembler package for Sublime

Changes in this version:

  • Fix: Changed default executable for run/debug, from x64 to x64sc.
    In Vice 3.4 x64 is no longer available, so x64sc is used instead.
    Several people reported this. Thanks all! Sorry for the delayed fix.

Note:
If you need to use x64, or any other executable, just customize with settings kickass_run_path and/or kickass_debug_path.

Changes in this version:

    • More on build annotations below
    • If you use setting for custom kickass_run_command_xx or kickass_debug_command_xx commands, you will need to update them to use this feature, since the way to describe the prg-file has changed

Version 1.3.0 and 1.2.5 of Kick Assembler package for Sublime

Two new versions released since the last blog post, see below for the details:

Changes in version 1.3.0:

  • New feature: Integrating the KickAss Tooltips pluign
    Shows documentation when hovering over opcodes, vic-registers, sid-registers and some kick assembler directives. More documentation to come.
    Thanks to @brushesm and @ogt2 for this.
  • New feature: Default commands for C64Debugger
    Use of C64Debugger thru the kickass_run_path or kickass_debug_path settings
    is now detected and a custom command is used to start C64Debugger.
    The command will use symbols and breakpoints (4.x breakpoints) from Kick Assembler, see note below.
    Thanks to @arekbr for suggestion and to @BroneCk for help implementing
  • New setting kickass_env to add environment variables when building
    These variables has precedence over other environment variables with the same names. Mostly useful for prebuild, postbuild and make commands
    Suggested by @og2t, details: #22
  • A warning is now shown if settings cannot be loaded when a build is requested, asking the user to restart Sublime.
    This should avoid some strange errors after updating, or switching between cloned and package control install modes.
  • New settings for detailed customization of compile, run and debug commands:
    kickass_run_command_x64
    kickass_debug_command_x64
    kickass_debug_command_c64debugger
    kickass_run_command_c64debugger
    kickass_compile_args
    kickass_compile_debug_additional_args
    Hopefully I will write a more detailed blog post about this later.
    Thanks to @arekbr for suggestion and to @BroneCk for help implementing
  • Verified basic Kick Assembler 5 support (Kick Assembler 4.x still supported)
    Both old ( break() ) and new ( .break ) breakpoints can be used.
    Using the default segment works, better support for multi segment things will be added later.
  • Minor bug fixes and improvements

Note:
It is possible to use the new dbg-files created by Kick Assembler 5 in C64Debugger (version 0.64.56).
Just add this setting to your user settings.
"kickass_args": "-debugdump"
And C64Debugger will automatically load the dbg-file.

Changes in version 1.2.5:

  • Bug fix: Preferences and settings menus now works when package is installed thru Package Control.
    Thanks Pontus Berg for reporting this
  • New Feature: Make command, assigned to key F8. Invokes a script called make.bat/make.sh.
    Use setting default_make_path for setting default make path,
    make-scripts located in the current directory will take precedence,
    but if not found the default path is also checked. No default value.
    Suggested by Pontus Berg

  • New setting kickass_compiled_filename for setting filename of compiled prg-file

    Thanks wizofwor for suggestion
  • Menu items for accessing settings and preferences
    Can be found in menu Preferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeKickAssemblerC64.
    Thanks to brushesm
  • New Feature: Settings default_prebuild_path and default_postbuild_path for setting default prebuild-/postbuild path. Prebuild/postbuild-scripts located in the current directory will take precedence, but if not found the default path is also checked. No default value. More info

Version 1.1.5 of Kick Assembler package for Sublime

Changes in this version:

  • Command line argument confirmexit for Vice removed, since it seems to differ
    between confirmexit and confirmonexit in different versions/distributions of Vice. Thanks DannyCorkMuttley and Naali. Instead, you can easily remove the confirm exit dialog by configuring the default setting for Vice.
  • Fixed a crash when staring debug without creating breakpoint file
