Settings

All settings live under WitcherScript in VS Code's Settings editor (Ctrl+,), and can also be edited directly in settings.json. The setting ID for each is shown in code.

Diagnostics & code lenses

Diagnostics scope

How much of your project is checked for errors: the whole workspace (default), only the files you have open, or nothing at all. See Diagnostics scope.

Setting: witcherscript.diagnostics.scope

Game definition lens

A clickable link above symbols in a legacy override script that jumps to the original base game definition. On by default.

Setting: witcherscript.codeLens.overriddenSymbols

Reference count lens

Shows how many times each top-level declaration and class method is used, right above it in the editor. Off by default.

Setting: witcherscript.codeLens.references

Game & scripts

Game directory

Where The Witcher 3 is installed. The language server reads the base game scripts from here, so most features need it set. See Game Directory.

Setting: witcherscript.gameDirectory

Auto-load Shared Imports

Automatically loads the Shared Imports mod when it is found in your game's Mods folder, since most modern mods depend on it. On by default; turn it off to skip it.

Setting: witcherscript.autoLoadModSharedImports

Additional script directories

Extra folders of mod scripts to read, for mods that add new .ws files you depend on. See Script Directories.

Setting: witcherscript.additionalScriptDirectories

Legacy script directories

Folders whose scripts replace base game scripts of the same name, for older mods that include edited copies of vanilla files.

Setting: witcherscript.legacyScriptDirectories

Alternate base scripts

An advanced pair for checking against a different set of base scripts (for example, to switch between game versions) without changing your game directory. Set the path with witcherscript.baseScriptsDirectory, then turn it on with witcherscript.useBaseScriptsDirectory (usually from the status bar). See Alternate base scripts.

Formatter

See Formatting

Advanced

Log level

How much detail the language server writes to its output channel. Raise it to debug or trace when troubleshooting.

Setting: witcherscript.logLevel

Server path

Point at your own witcherscript-lsp binary instead of the bundled one. Leave empty to use the bundled server.

Setting: witcherscript.server.path

Server TCP port

For development: connect to a language server you are running yourself on a local port. Leave at 0 to use the bundled server.

Setting: witcherscript.server.tcpPort
