Summary0002537: sort out which lua widgets should be included with engine
DescriptionThe engine ships with many widgets that could be game side.
Should be sorted out.
Disabling is not enough because they still show up in the F11 menu.
Additional Informationhttp://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=26404&start=4

Some other widgets that are currently included in the engine but could be mod side only:
unit_factory_guard.lua
unit_immobile_buider.lua
unit_metal_maker.lua
unit_stockpile.lua
Those are very game specific, imo no need to have those in the engine.

Then they are some, which are can be usefull for basically every game:
gui_xray_shader.lua
gui_team_platter.lua
gui_selbuttons.lua
gui_hilight_unit.lua
camera_smooth_move.lua
camera_shake.lua
But even those do not really need to be in the engine?

Actually almost all widgets could be removed, except maybe headless_setup.lua
TagsNo tags attached.
Checked infolog.txt for Errors

 Not sure if examples should be in installer like that?
widget database seems more suited (http://springrts.com/wiki/WidgetDatabaseFAQ )

Also:
https://github.com/spring/spring/tree/master/cont/base/springcontent/LuaGadgets/Gadgets

see readme.txt: "This directory contains some example gadgets."
So there already are some Lua examples in springcontent.sdz, not the best place imo.
Maybe that could be combined?

For start, they could simply be moved into some "old default widgets" folder so if a mod does not get updated, players can simply copy the files back.

 yeah, i also think widget-DB and/or some folder under cont/ (Content fits better then Documentation (doc/)) would be good.
And LuaGadgets as examples folder for LuaRules is also strange. LuaRules_examples or the like would be easier to grasp. Something similar for LuaUI maybe (LuaUI_examples)?

 You should remember that LuaGadgets also houses the base content gadgethandler. Although I'm still not sure why that isn't just in LuaRules anyway.

 init_start_marker.lua
headless_setup.lua

should be moved to examples, too.

 i kept these because they were enabled as default... was to afraid to remove them, because someone could complain about them.
