Spring RTS Engine

Some wiki colors are currently failing hard, and appear to be a carryover from the old forum theme. Look at the Weapon Variables page, for example. White background with nearly white text? The green text in the lua documentation is also quite illegible. Please fix.

erm it is a _wiki_

Hmm, I distinctly recall not having permission to edit one of the pages...let me go and check again.

Yeah I know, I thought one of them I didn't have permissions to edit, but I was wrong. So fixed.

I went through and fixed several pages for that exact reason. But ya, there's gonna be a few that have that.

I don't think you need permission to edit the wiki. it is just when people do stupid shit that they get fussed at. even then it is a mere revert to correct.

Wait a tick...

WTF? Beamlaser and beamweapon depreciated, but no indication of what to use instead? WTF? Were they planning on telling us about it?

the wiki says:

Used for autodetection of "BeamLaser" weapontypes.

so just use weaponType="BeamLaser"; ?
also the default lua weapondef parser contains the backward compability code (it was part of the engine before), so as long as you don't have your own weapondef_post.lua defined everything should be fine.

I wondered if that were the case, however... the wiki needs to be modified to reflect that. If I can remember, I'll fix it when I get home from work. Thanks for clarifying it for me.
