VS Code extensions

Syntax highlighting
KG Marketplace Syntax — a Visual Studio Code extension that adds syntax highlighting to .cfg config files for this mod.
It recognizes and colors:
- Comments (
#) - Section headers (
[ProfileName]) - Quest types (
Kill,Collect,Talk, and the rest — see Quests) - Dialogue keywords (
Text:,Transition:,Command:,Condition:, and the rest — see Dialogues) - Formatting tags (
<color=#RRGGBB>,<b>,<i>,<size=N>,<image=path>) %variable%placeholders (see Prefabs and text markup)- Numbers, coordinates, and territory flags
Install: open the Extensions panel in VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+X), search for "KG Marketplace Syntax", and click Install. Once installed, it activates automatically for any .cfg file you open. Full setup notes are in the extension's own README, linked above.
Here's everything it highlights in one profile bundle:
