IIRC, the terrainTypes can be modified using MapOptions.

Could you instead calculate and draw (viewport and
radar), the team colored blocks using a lua array?

Here's what I did: 1. Split the synced/unsynced script spaces into separate global lua states. 2. Improved call-ins speeds using LUA_CALLINSINDEX / LuaCallInDB 3. Added LuaLink for flexible inter-script access 4. Added LuaDelayQueues, which provides the following call-outs: // call a function, or re...

FWIW, the approach that I took was a safe one. Created a UnitScript
interface class, with a 'float' based API. Then sub-classed it into
CobUnitScript and LuaUnitScript. CobUnitScript did the ugly integer/
float conversions required for COB scripts.

not likely

I had it coded to the point where lua could be used to replace all COB functionality (and with per-unit scripting as an option). It's been a while since I wrote the code, and so there are a lot of conflicts against the current git repository. The patch results can be found here: http://trepan.bzflag...

If you want speed, render with a texture buffer; then the console becomes nothing more than a single textured quad to draw. You can keep the texture buffer updated using FBOs, or use a couple of textures with some copy/clear action if FBOs are not available. For scrolling, you can use texture coordi...

He got the lua part wrong, BEGIN is not a lua keyword

jK: mipmaps are generated for almost all loaded textures :)

Also (although they're probably broken by now):

It's been brought up before...

I added the capability to set SMD/SM3/LUA map parameters using MapOptions.lua quite some time ago. There's even the beginnings of the "default options" scripts in maphelper.sdz. I don't remember how far I got with it, but you might want to take a look at maphelper/mapinfo.lua, and how it u...

you're lucky they have names at all, it used to be that the returned table was of the form: { [1] = number, [2] = number, [3] = number, etc... } -- ;-) You can look at the spring/rts/Game/Camera/*.cpp files (in the GetState() functions) to get a better idea of what the names are. p[xyz]: position d[...

moved to "Off topic" from "General discussion"

Even without the VBO interface, you could do a lot (and faster
than CEGs), by using vertex textures (as demo'ed by the volcano
widget). The downside is that the technique only works on newer
video cards (so an alternative would have to be provided anyways)

A ShieldCollision() call-in is easy to implement, it's been done before :)
(also note that the synced version can force the collision to be ignored)
