ThreadFunc SC3

[Bloo]

What happened to ThreadFunc in SC3? I haven't been following Soldat Dev for years and now it doesn't work apparently, so is there a way to get it to work or a replacement for it?

Yes, I've removed threadfunc completely.

Scriptcore never was, and still isn't threadsafe. Using that function was equal to sending your script to a painful death, along with entire server. If you have some functionality that's too heavy for your script to perform then i suggest to either switch to shell_exec and do it in some separate process or move your logic to DLL. There you can do whatever the fuck you want with threads.

haha yeah it was pretty rubbish.

short of going to the DLL's, is using SC3 with external URLs any better at not lagging the whole game now? Currently using GetURL as a backup to the treadding option, which lag-kills with cross-continent servers.

first of all, you're using SC2. 2nd GetURL will wait for request to end so yes, requesting page on the other side of the world will surely lag the server.
