Spring RTS Engine

I'm new to spring and I'm trying to figure out the general workflow for working on a game.

I downloaded the tutorial game from the wiki and I am able to load it. but it seems very cumbersome to have to constantly open and close the game. What workflow do you use to quickly load up the game and try out changes to various lua files?

/luaui reload, /luarules reload

'/reloadcegs' reloads all the CEG particle effects.

To do '/luarules reload' you need to first do '/cheat' because this command would easily break a multiplayer game.

I usually creat cyclic circumstances to test behaviour:

In a unitscript- thats a while loop
for a ceg, thats a unit respawning it
for a balance test, that is a gadget spawning combos to battle one another..

I dev in np++, with some addition.

S44 was never reload friendly code wise, and MCL isn't much better, so I am accustomed to reloading the game. Sometimes it is best to have a 'clean' run anyway imo.

Until I made it reload friendly, you mean.

For chili games I made http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balates ... onsole.lua, which collates and displays errors from the infolog + has some useful buttons (luaui/rules reload/disable, cheat, globallos, Spring.Reload, etc).
