| scripts.dll 2.8 WIP update [message #200341] |

Here are the changes since 2.7.2:
Functionality to let you use the "extras" PT pages (i.e. the ones you access with "alt") as regular PT pages (disables the "extras" command, disables the laddered server check and sets the extra PT pages to always on)
A bunch of bug-fixes to engine.cpp (thanks WD for those)
void Power_Base(int team,bool powered); //Power a base up or down, correctly handles the doubled build time and costs
void Can_Generate_Soldiers(int team,bool cangenerate); //Sets if soliders are purchasable
void Can_Generate_Vehicles(int team,bool cangenerate); //Sets if vehicles are purchaseable
void Destroy_Base(int team); //Destroys a base completly
void Beacon_Destroyed_Base(int team, bool destroyed); //Sets if a base was destroyed by a beacon in the beacon zone
void Enable_Base_Radar(int team, bool enable); //Enables radar for a base, same thing as the communications center does
All of those last engine calls work over network without bhs.dll on client.
Changes planned for 2.8:
Some UDP exploit fixes (I dont know details, I think v00d00 said he had some)
A fix for a GameSpy issue
Anything from WD, SaberHawk or anyone else that gets in in time
Anything the RenAlert guys need for their next release (whatever that might be)
Better documentation for the PT change stuff
A new script that will send a custom when poked then send a second custom when poked again and then send the first one when poked again etc.
Scrolling radar map feature
Possibly a hook to detect beacon purchase
Possibly making Set_Camera_Host work
Possibly better wireframe mode code that doesnt render the UI in wireframe

Current changes in 2.8:
Feature to let you use the "extras" pt pages as normal pt pages
Scrolling radar map (users will need to play with the numbers to find numbers such that you appear to be on the map where you really are in the game world). This includes a script to change all this at runtime (i.e. each map has a script on it that sets the setting). Also, any players who join after map-load will get the correct map settings sent to them.
Bug-fixes to engine.cpp
void Power_Base(int team,bool powered); //Power a base up or down, correctly handles the doubled build time and costs
void Can_Generate_Soldiers(int team,bool cangenerate); //Sets if soliders are purchasable
void Can_Generate_Vehicles(int team,bool cangenerate); //Sets if vehicles are purchaseable
void Destroy_Base(int team); //Destroys a base completly
void Beacon_Destroyed_Base(int team, bool destroyed); //Sets if a base was destroyed by a beacon in the beacon zone
void Enable_Base_Radar(int team, bool enable); //Enables radar for a base, same thing as the communications center does
bool Is_Harvester(GameObject *obj); //Is this object one of the 2 team AI harvesters?
void Disable_Enlisted(unsigned int team, unsigned int position); //Disable an enlisted soldier
void Disable_Preset(unsigned int team, unsigned int type, unsigned int position); //Disable a preset
GameObject *Get_GameObj_By_Player_Name(const char *name); //get the gameobject of a player given their name
unsigned long Get_Definition_Class_ID(const char *name); //get the class ID of a definition (matches the #defines above)
unsigned int Get_Vehicle_Definition_Mode(const char *preset); //get the mode of a vehicle given its preset name
new script JFW_Change_Radar_Map which goes on a daves arrow or something and sets the radar map for this map.
JFW_Poke_Send_Custom_Toggle which does the same thing as JFW_Poke_Send_Custom_2 except that it toggles between sending one
custom then sending another then sending the first etc.
Kamuix_PAMSG_Zone which sends a pamsg command to the player that entered the zone
Kamuix_Send_FDS_MSG_Zone which basicly does a console input when the zone is entered
Kamuix_Team_Change_Zone which changes the team of whatever entered the zone
Kamuix_Announce_Preset_Buy which sends announcements when the preset is bought
Still to add:
Better wireframe mode code (that only makes the game world wirefarme and not the UI). Objects that appear in model-viewer controls (e.g. the encyclopedia in SP) will also remain solid and not go wireframe.
Any scripting for reborn that is ready to go in
Any stuff RenAlert has to add
Any stuff RenAlert wants for their new version
UDP fixes
GSA fixes

wireframe mode is pretty useless for actual gameplay anyways...would probably only lead to cheats.
If you want to test a map in wireframe mode just save and export your level while you have your map in LE in wireframe mode.
This happen to me once on accident.

Wireframe mode was actually an idea suggested to me by SaberHawk P4 (who also pointed me at the DirectX call to switch into wireframe mode)

add_health_on_custom and the set_health scripts arent working properly...
they actually do add or subtract health and the max health seems to work too but a few issues.
it doesnt seem to work the same way the jfw_building_damage scripts work.
Those report damage, the add_set scripts don't.
Those will actually kill the building, the add_set scripts don't(they just set health to 0 and make it not targetable)
also with the add_set scripts when the building health disappears you can still buy characters or vehicles.

As for gameplay, I have this crazy idea.
