Patch to allow use of lua scripts in lobby games

[hughperkins]

Here's a patch to read a value "scriptname" from the lobby-generated script.txt file:

http://manageddreams.com/csai/startscript.diff

This means you can specify arbitrary start script for lobby-generated games, opening up the possibility for multiplayer missions, and Use Map Settings type games.

How do I go about incorporating this into the Spring core?

Note that here is a sample valid script.txt and lua script:

Save this to your spring application directory, taspring:

http://manageddreams.com/csai/script.txt

Save this to taspring/startscripts:

http://manageddreams.com/csai/lobbymissiontest.lua

Then just run:

spring.exe script.txt

To get you code applied to the core:

Step 1: Creates a Patch file using subversion (or the subversion client you are using)

Step 2:
Option 1: Submit a bug to manits (the Bug tracker link at the top of this page) and include the patch file and a description of the patch. The devs will post comments for any changes they would like/need you to make. Submit new patches to the same bug until they are satisfied.
Option 2: Email the patch to the mailing list.

Code: Select all

+     
+ 	scriptName=file.SGetValueDef("","GAME\\scriptname");
+     if(scriptName.empty())
+     {
+         scriptName = "Commanders";
+     }

Should be:

Code: Select all

+ 	scriptName=file.SGetValueDef("Commanders","GAME\\scriptname");

Also, could you supply a unified diff, I don't recognize this one (what do the exclamation marks mean?). (sorry if someone else already told you so through another medium)

Ok, corrected these two issues:
