Welcome to the forum GamerGuy.

Very nice addition to the tool set!  :)

It's embarrassing to admit, but as long as I've done code work, I've never loaded a custom syntax definition before. This should be interesting. Super helpful once done though.

Nice addition dude, thanks. Can it be loaded by the Visual Studio Code too?

You're welcome. Well... no, they don't use the same kinds of files. This would have to be ported basically.

They both support tmlanguage files, so that would have been a nice implementation bridge, but sublime text upgraded to sublime syntax files.
 
THanks buddy, but I am having a hard time installing it on Sublime for mac.
I've downloaded it and put on the packages folder you mentioned (I am on a mac), but when I go to the menu, I don't see OPENBOR on the list.
I am using version 3.2.2 build 3211

This was resolved by putting the file into the users folder inside the packages folder, which is where it would normally go, but it must be a requirement on mac.

C:/Users/Me/AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User

You might have to try this to view the syntax:

View -> Syntax -> User -> OpenBOR Txt
 
GamerGuy where were you a year ago when I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to make a custom syntax for sublime text.

After a bit of learning I figured out a bit of regular expression and made my own syntax its very helpful when your making openbor game especially using the auto fill option on scripting  ;D
