Good to see an upcoming release! About the gravity i think there should be a parameter in it allowing you to change a certain players gravity and/or the entire server. Now for my own idea, maybe something like GetPlayerMouse(ID) would check to see at what coordinates on the map or relative to the player, the players mouse is, this would open up so many boundaries and help with many scripts, maybe

GetPlayerMouse(ID,'Absolute');
or
GetPlayerMouse(ID,'Relative');
thanks for considertation.

Modifcation: And also maybe would it be possible to have more than one DrawTexts up at a time without it overwriting?

Modification: Also a WriteINI(blablabla) function would be very useful, i suggest that. There are some WriteINI custom functions already out there but they are very laggy to the servers.

It would be nice if the scriptcore gave a bit more information about any errors, like what things are causing the problem. And at the same time you could fix up the problem that when it says where the error occured, it is always a couple of lines ahead and makes it a pain in the ass to fix.

Thank you.

having CrossFunc (and possibly ThreadFunc if you want) to work on built-in functions so we don't have to redefine them with a different name.
For instance.. CrossFunc(['test'], ScriptName + '.WriteLn');

Bugfix/suggestion:
Make Round(0.5) return 1 instead of 0. Same with Round(0.45) and such.

Could you make the numbers for guns and objects consistent throughout functions please?

As in setweaponactive and forceweapon use different numbers for each gun. It's kinda annoying.

(more of a server suggestion but relates to scripting)
When starting up the server with scripting enabled, but 0 scripts found and no Includes.txt found in the old format, preventing the errors..

A simple one. modification to add more options to setscore procedure.

procedure SetScore(ID: Byte; Type, Value: Integer);

Where Type could be:
1 = Score
2 = Kills
3 = Deaths

or optionally Type could be a string.

~~ln and exp function.~~

DorkeyDear · « **Reply #108 on:** January 28, 2009, 11:58:24 am »

or possibly even a Log function; whatever u name it Ln & Log or Log and Log10

function FormatGMTDate(FormatString: string; offset: integer): String

similar to FormatDate, but returns the GMT+offset time instead of local server time. Useful for keeping logs on multiple servers synchronized.

Or/and, if possible:
function UnixTimestamp(): integer
function FormatTimestampDate(FormatString: string; timestamp: integer): String

My project consists on customized weapon swaps, so I suggest the following:
- Remove the initial onweaponchange call when the player joins the server... it gives invalid weapon ids.
- Make onweaponchange to be called only when the weapon change is complete like on the flamer god bonus (flamer, oldprimary; oldprimary, oldprimary; flamer, oldprimary) - make it directly flamer, oldprimary. (although possible to pass by).
- Either make a OnBulletChange procedure/function (which would be called whenever a bullet is shot), or fix GetPlayerStat(ID, "ammo") to correctly get the current weapon ammo inside onweaponchange (latter is easier).
- procedure OnWeaponSelEnd(ID, primary, secondary:byte); - procedure to be called when the weapon selection ends on the weapon menu.
- unlock forceweaponing rambo bow and add options to soldat.ini for Weapon_14 and Weapon_15 and make "Disable_AntiCheat_Kick" to work on them too - then there wouldn't be anymore unnecessary rambo kicks if a script uses the bow. But, make sure it's considered a normal weapon on game modes that are not rambo mode, and make sure the forceweaponing of bow on RM servers is locked.

GetURLTimeout: cardinal; // in millisecs
or function GetGetURLTimout(): cardinal; procedure SetGetURLTimeout(const Amount: cardinal);

events rather then GetKeyState or wahtever function it is called

Binary writing and reading..
function fOpen(filename: string): integer; (returns index to a built-in array of handlers)
procedure fClose(handle: integer);
procedure BinaryWrite<type>(handle: integer; data: <type>); (example BinaryWriteByte(handle: integer; data: byte); BinaryWriteString(handle: integer; data: string) would write an int or something for length of string, and then each char of the array)
function BinaryRead<type>(handle: integer): <type>; (example BinaryReadString(handle: integer): string;
procedure ReadAll(handle: integer): string;
procedure Write(handle: integer; options: integer); (options is to make it either clear everything and start from beginning, or start at end, or whatever; probably better word than options tho (or instead have different functions, either way works))
whereas <type> are all basic types..

would make life a lot more fun with binary reading and writing..

AppOnIdle_interval=x option in server.ini
To set how ofter that procedure is called (if its not more complex than adding two lines of code of course <.<) This could give some room for experimenting for those who have extra resources.

event: procedure DeactivateServer(); called right before a "/recompile" "/recompile <script>" of same script, server closing down (ctrl+c / Shutdown() or whatever) in order to close sockets, clean stuff up before shutdown, etc.

global var BattlEyeEnabled: boolean; (or integer 1/0)

Fix transparent DrawText's. When text fades it flashes and does other unwanted things.

]{ing · « **Reply #117 on:** April 23, 2009, 10:50:59 pm »

Could you please add 'OnWeaponReload' function ... or make OnWeaponChange be called on a reload. Either one of these would be tremendous!

Bloo · « **Reply #118 on:** April 27, 2009, 07:35:06 am »

OnPlayerRespawn shouldn't act on OnMapChange.

NTxC · « **Reply #119 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:25:42 am »

Well, I guess it would be great if Command( Cmd: string ); would call OnCommand too!
