Language schema

[yvvki]

Rusted Warfare uses non-standard specification of INI/TOML file. We need to accommodate this by creating our own syntax highlighter language schema.

Here's the list of modified and/or added specification derived from INI:
Note that all of these are assumptions based on what I observed while working on a Rusted Warfare mod and from analyzing the official Rusted Warfare Modding Reference.

Rusted Warfare Schema

Key and value pair are separated with : instead of =.

- key = value
+ key: value

Value Type

Type	Description	Example
string	Array of ASCII characters	lorem ipsum
string(s)	Array of strings separated by commas (and optionally space?)	foo, bar
int	One or more numbers	69
float	Same as int or using decimal point (.)	0.69
bool	Either true or false	true
...

If anybody knows what exactly are these specification (ie. from a Java library), please help by replying here with information about it.

Basic syntax highlighting has been implemented in VSCode extension (v0.1.0) via TextMate language.

Here's a basic ledger, If you want to create your own syntax highlighter language schema, you might want to check out some existing tools or libraries that support INI/TOML, such as highlight.js, Pygments, or Prism. Hmu if you need anything else 👍

[Using # or ; for comments]
[Using = or : for key-value assignments]
[Using [section] or [[section]] for sections]
[Using + or - to append or remove values from arrays].
[Using @ to reference other files or sections]
Using ! to execute commands or scripts[2]
[Using $ to access variables or constants]
[Using * to create aliases or shortcuts]
[Using ? to create conditional statements]
[Using & to create bitwise operations]
[Using ~ to create random values]
[Using ^ to create exponential values]
[Using % to create modulo values]
[Using / to create division values]
[Using | to create logical OR values]
[Using & to create logical AND values]
[Using ! to create logical NOT values]
[Using > to create greater than values]
[Using < to create less than values]
[Using = to create equal to values]
[Using != to create not equal to values]
[Using >= to create greater than or equal to values]
[Using <= to create less than or equal to values]

Thank you for your help, I have implemented schema template for VSCode already here:
https://github.com/yvvki/rusted-warfare-vscode/blob/main/syntaxes/rw.tmLanguage.json

But it only replaced the equals with colon, I'll implement the rest after figuring out how to tokenize these (and implement the language server, see yvvki/rusted-warfare-vscode#2 😅)
