Script Source on Public Test

[GReaper]

Your testing is required!

Just a note for the bandwidth challenged.

Inside the same directory as Launcher.exe, copy the "live" directory and name it "public-test", that way your launcher should only download the updated files.

i don't understand what have you done
so you just add the source for the .dso files?

It puts the scripts in the game by default I think
They've added some scripts in the "scripts" folder and they've cleaned up the defaultprefs file

 

[SpArKo]

This update does what?? I can't understand

 

[GReaper]

It's releasing the source code to the scripts which power the game. It'll allow people who like to modify the game to look at the code and create their own mods. Maybe there's some feature in the game which we haven't got around to, giving people access to modify the game will allow people to add functionality at a faster pace.

If you don't understand the changes - just don't switch to the public test channel. These changes will eventually be pushed to live and you won't notice anything different.

I approve, thank you

Where is the source code and how do you use it?

 

[Armageddon]

public test folder.
You use it to create mods/scripts, i'm not sure we can add anything to it like weapons etc but it might be fun to play with some other things.

[...] i'm not sure we can add anything to it like weapons etc [...]

That stuff is still server-sided. So as long as there are no playerhosted (and modified) servers, such things won't be possible.

In other words, no new game modes, maps, weapons, etc. Y'know, the stuff modder would actually like to have.

 

[IzRaPiDz]

Well, i'd like to make my own scripts but i can't. I dunno where to start in this public test

 

[Gheist]

Have a look at the stuff that RockeyRex has released, and at the standard files. Combine it with this: http://docs.garagegames.com/tgea/official/content/documentation/Scripting Reference/Introduction/TorqueScript.html

Scripting isn't exactly easy, Stubbsy.

Thanks mate, i really do thanks ya

 

[RainPilot]

So what exactly can we edit/add? Just small things like hotkeys, preferences, and some GUI things like Rockey's?

Not at all actually.

damn i really hoped this would work "DemoRecording::startRecording"
and why is it server side?,shouldn't it be client side?

 

[Gheist]

[...] and why is it server side?,shouldn't it be client side?

What?

 

[T[h]E Dis[as]teR]

What?

oops i read some non related stuff

but here is what i get

==>DemoRecording::startRecording();
client/scripts/demoRecording.cs (50): Unable to find object: 'Players' attempting to call function 'getLocalPlayerIndex'
client/scripts/demoRecording.cs (50): Unable to find object: 'Players' attempting to call function 'getPlayerName'
client/scripts/demoRecording.cs (29): Unable to find function errorf

appears to be this function has an error

Players.getLocalPlayerIndex()

i'm trying to make a one click start demo recording
ps: we might need a discussion thread about this stuff
