shield improvements

Uniboobs are gross.

Hey that's a cool idea. Lua maybe?

Or... just do shields entirely in Lua, in terms of gameplay effects.

I suggest that we remove Spring.exe and replace it by a Lua interpreter. Much more flexibility! Much easier for the engine maintener. And modders just have code their own RTS engine in Lua, if they don't they are just lazy!

There ya go, just add some visuals, and voila, shields that don't require giant bubbles to work.

I don't see anything that:
- Draw the shield
- Repulse shots
- Protect any unit inside the shield
- Make it configurable


So it's not even comparable to current hard coded shield.

why not coders of the internets unite and give argh a hand, then

Because shields require a lot of fiddly operations that are best off staying in the engine?

I am staying out of this whole thing... GO ZWZSG!
