Move Lua Scripts subforum

[Regret]

Move Lua Scripts subforum into Game and mod creation section.

Reason: lua scripts became a solid part of mod/game creation.

1. cake is food
2. all cake is tasty

all food is tasty?

Really, it would just make sense to specialize the "lua scripts" forum to be "lua widgets" only and keep the gadget code or mod-specific widgets in the modding forum.

Seems as though you've forgotten the
third and fourth characters in the play.

[Argh]

Yes... truthfully, I'd like to Gadgets, Widgets, Gaia and AI sections, and even perhaps an OpenGL section.

But especially Gadgets, since I'd like to have a better place to give code away and talk about current challenges.

lua is beyond just games and mods. I think lua is lua and while it is part of the games and mods it still needs it's own section.

someone just wants to impose his opinion that widgets are cheats ...

What/who are you referring to?

I recommend the following hierarchy:

LUA secton (yep, separate level1 subforum):
* Suggestions / Requests
* Ready scripts (available via SpringDownloader)
* Scripting tutorials
* Development questions

I know that some of categories can have entries in others subforums but this forum uses only 2 levels, not 3.

Why? there arn't that many topics in the lua forum, and it's kinna useless to have a subforum with something like 20 topics in it.

We could have a sub forum just for modders to whine about Lua and conspire about ways to block it

[smoth]

AFAIK only one of us whined about lua the rest of us are just seeking to avoid conflicting lua.

edit: too late....

I believe it will grow. LUA contributions are much easier than C++ native code. If smb will structure the information about LUA it will be easier to access & maintain (for released widgets) for newcomers.

PS. I took those structure based upon AMX Mod X forum (extension for Half-Life1 based mods).

not everything should be done in lua. It is not something that can supplant patches.

Nobody said it should.
