Re: request to change my lua code licenses from GPL v3/2+

Re a request sent to me (a long time ago, sorry) by sprunk/ZK, asking if the various widgets/gadgets that I wrote & licensed as GPL v3+ and whatever else could (also) be available under GPL v2+: yes this is fine, go ahead. Anyone else welcome to do the same. But if I wrote anything about horses ...

Re: How to write a new widget:... callin?

Seems like a clean one - https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/9a97978a7f0892ff18eecdc3dbee1a880d2d4dc2 Or did you mean add it as a "fake" lua-powered callin to the widgethandler without engine interaction? But from your use case (which I don't completely follow) I wonder if you'd be bet...

Re: Getting memory usage of a single widget

You'll need to look in the handlers tables (which iirc live inside the "real" WG - you don't want the wrapped stuff the handler exposes to non-handler widgets). The widget file is pcalled by the handler https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/Beyond-All-Reason/blob/master/luaui/barwidgets.lua...

Re: Getting memory usage of a single widget

Can't remember exactly how the lua allocation (esp strings) / localization / garbage collection works, but my fast decaying memory from (re)writing the profilers is that this is impossible and not even well defined - even if it were a widget that avoided allocating memory outside of its "own&qu...

Re: Removing unit from unit group?

No idea about the old keybinds approach (wouldn't be surprised if they were deprecated/dead) but from lua iirc there is CMD.GROUPCLEAR and CMD.GROUPADD

Re: Lua Grass GL4

Yeah afaik too this is a legally untested part of the GPL. My best guess - which comes from the wiki page I wrote after discussions with devs of the time, and tried to clarify the quote above when we realized that the status of "procedurally generated art" was unclear - is: We generally vi...

Re: Indication of interest in moving BA to Spring: develop

This doesn't seem to be a serious attempt for anything involving spring-develop.

I can't think of anything wrong with game projects (or individual developers, if they wished) taking donations for their work.

Re: I am politely asking will Lua widgets break with future engine updates because I would like to know

In theory, a mitigation layer could be created - in lua. Allowing old games to pretend they are running on a old version of spring. Quite a bit of this exists already, when you delve into base content. But imo its important to be careful about what is and isn't cushioned like that, or it would get ...

Re: Keep lua in Spring engine

@Ares How it has always worked and how it will probably continue to work for as long as anyone writes engine code: - The chance of lua being removed is 0. - The chance of the lua api continually changing in small ways and requiring games to adapt their code is 1. - The bit in between - major changes...

Uberserver is never going to allow two accounts to share the same email address. Bot accounts can be created on request by lobby mods, without need for an email address.
