Due to the addition of several new auto-complete options for functions, you may find Sublime accepting "Enter" to auto-complete to be annoying. (As an example, try typing "endif" and hitting "Enter" to add a new line) To disable this and only allow "Tab" to auto-complete, do the following:

==Build Types==
The Sublime Papyrus plugin supports three different build types - debug, release, and release final. These are identical to the build types exposed in the Creation Kit. The normal build option, invoked with Ctrl+B, is a "debug" build. It will produce non-optimized code, with all debug commands intact.

To access the other build types, open the Sublime command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type in "Build". Then select either release (optimized + debug stripping) or release final (optimized + debug and beta stripping).

You will generally want to do debug builds for testing and development, with final builds for release.

* Drag your scripts directory to the Sublime Text window to have it opened as your current project. Now hit Ctrl-P. You have access to all your scripts here, with it narrowing down the list as you type. It's even smart enough to translate "comph" into "CompanionsHousekeepingScript," so whatever kinds of nutty shorthand you can think of for your scripts will probably work.

* Combine the two of them. Ctrl-P, type to find your file. Add an "@" at the end of it when you have the one you want, and you can go directly to the function in question. So "comph@reoprq" takes me right to the "ReOpenAllRadiantQuests" in CompanionsHousekeepingScript.psc. And since it works as you type, you don't even have to remember ''that'' much.

* All Events that the compiler supports have been added as snippets, so if you type the name of the event and hit Tab, it will autocomplete to the full event (with parameters) so you don't have to check the wiki for syntax. Snippets are case-sensitive, and all event names are set as lower-case, so you'll need to type the name in lower-case to see it.

If you open a PEX file in Sublime it will show up as a binary file. If you set the "syntax" (via the View menu) to "Compiled PapyrusF4" and hit "Build", Sublime with disassemble the PEX file for you into a PAS file which will then be auto-opened in Sublime with proper syntax coloring.

Note that the PEX file needs to be in an "output" folder specified in the ini file for this to work.
