Spring RTS Engine

I really liked this widget that was written by Tim-the-maniac. Does anyone still have it? I can't find it on any of the download sites.

:idea:

i dont know the widget by tim-the-maniac but i use this kool widget by jK to insert commands

just create empty lua file and insert this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function widget:GetInfo()
return {
name = "FrontInsert",
desc = "Allows to use the meta key to insert any command at the front of the command queue",
author = "jK",
date = "Jan,2008",
license = "GNU GPL, v2 or later",
layer = 5,
enabled = true
}
end

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function widget:CommandNotify(id, params, options)
local _,_,meta,_ = Spring.GetModKeyState()
if (meta) then
local opt = 0
if options.alt then opt = opt + CMD.OPT_ALT end
if options.ctrl then opt = opt + CMD.OPT_CTRL end
if options.shift then opt = opt + CMD.OPT_SHIFT end
if options.right then opt = opt + CMD.OPT_RIGHT end

Spring.GiveOrder(CMD.INSERT,{0,id,opt,unpack(params)},{"alt"})
return true
end
return false
end


and put the lua in ur ...\Spring\LuaUI\Widgets folder

then u just have to put this line in ur ...\Spring\uikeys.txt

"fakemeta 0x020"

to make ur spacebar the insert key

Awesome, thanks!

save as something.lua with text editor (notepad or whatever).

Also, use (my widget in other thread) instead. It does more stuff.
