BA model replacements on google code - Scripting help needed

I set up a public google code repository for anyone to submit the converted versions of Mr Bobs models.
I'm working on converting a lot of them myself, but there are still a lot of models remaining, and I'm not too good at scripting.
Any help is appreciated.

I also made a spreadsheet to show our progress, please mark all your contributions in the spreadsheet, so we dont do the same work twice.

We need help with making wreck models as well, but Ill hold off on those until I can convice Bob to make wreck texture :D

Are you using lua unit scripting or cob/bos?

It might be a good idea to modernize the format at this moment.

COB/BOS atm, Ill look into lua anims, thats prolly a good idea.
Also, the spreadsheet will load slow, cause of all the images embedded in it.

I'd propose to do it right and use lua instead of cob. We have enough time till bob has finished them all.

Caldera, could you add the stuff you scripted/imported so far? Would make our progress meter jump high :D

I don't think BA can be licensed as a whole in it's current state.

Lua scripts in BA should have their license description in their info table. That's about as much license info about BA as you get as far as I know.

Using sounds free for non-commercial use shouldn't be a problem.

Also, just so we are all on the same page, the models we are releasing are under a non commercial creative commons license. So, no commercial issues there either.

indeed would be nicer to have Lua unit scripts.
And also do some things a bit better ie this function seems to be in every unit:
SmokeUnit(healthpercent, sleeptime, smoketype)
Why not make it an include?

What is with all the

Code: Select all

	if( TRUE )
	{
in

Are they some workaround, around what?

Tried converting screamer unitscript to lua.
Checked the googlecode help to see how to commit with SVN, all i could find is:
nOOb3167@gmail.com's googlecode.com password: <some-random-letters-and-numbers>
This password is used by project members when checking out or committing source code changes, or when using command-line tools to upload files to the project "Downloads" tab.
but using that as login doesnt work.
I hope the attachment is useful.

Code: Select all

	if( TRUE )
	{
I do that as a placeholder when I know in the future I want a conditional or when debugging. I would assume the same for whoever wrote that code... just never got around to cleaning it up or adding the conditional I would guess.

Andrej, I couldnt find out how to make googlecode totally public, so I added you to the repo.
Anyone else wishing to contribute will also be added, just pm me an addy or post it here. Thanks!

G has no interest in anonymous committers, as it would be a lost chance of gathering data for them. try canceling your membership in a G-code project; same thing.
learn to read the signs, because tomorrow... may be too late!
