vs. the old

http://springrts.com/wiki/LuaCallinReturn

Please help me fill in the blanks if you have experience with any of the partially documented callins.

Nice, I spend a lot of time on that page. My only critic is the old callin names seemed to stick out more (being green), which I think I prefer.

Although I think I could get used to this color scheme given time.

The old page is more compact, which I like.

Good job.
New page is less compact but if we want to have some explainations that seems unavoidable.
Personally I would only have explainations that are not written by captain obvious himself:
"Called before damage is applied to the unit, allows fine control over how much damage and impulse is applied." is good but something feel like
UnitDestroyed: Called when a unit is destroyed.
could be left out..

Not sure if it needs the addon.,it does not really add any information I think but makes quickreading bit harder.
I like that it is in format where one can c&p the line without having to reorder stuff.

My only critic is the old callin names seemed to stick out more (being green), which I think I prefer.

Think so too, atm the return values stand out most. Maybe have those in default and instead callin-name in color.

Changing the visuals is easy as it is a single template.

Colours are currently set up to ape the Template:Tag used on e.g. http://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:UnitDefs

The addon. is exactly for the purpose of copy pasting, once the new handler is rolled out for gadgets (already works for widgets!)

If we could get the extension i asked for 1 million times for the wiki, it'd be easy to have blank sections if they are missing e.g. no need to have 'return: none' or Cpt. Obvious (though I don't mind him)

addon.CommandNotify(cmdID, cmdParams, cmdOptions)
return: bool removeCmd
Called when a command is issued. Returning true deletes the command and does not send it through the network.

Good Job!! These explanations ARE GREAT!!!

I spent lot's of time with these WTF "return ???". I had no idea why sometimes something was working and every time I was guessing what to return: true or false :-D

Also this way of describing parameters looks strange for me (java man): CommandNotify() --> "id, params, options", where id = the CommandID

that's much better: CommandNotify(cmdID, cmdParams, cmdOptions)
