Current hooks:
Current scripting hooks are:

Code: [Select]

#Global Hooks
$Global: ;;Executes every single time a frame is displayed
$Splash: ;;Executes once, when the splash screen is displayed (Override disables default splash). Override disables default splash.
$GameInit: ;;Executes after everything has been loaded, but the splash screen is still displayed. An ideal spot to put mn.loadMission(). Override does nothing.
$HUD: ;;Executes every frame that the HUD is displayed. Override disables Game HUD
#End

#State Hooks
$State: ;;Can be any state. Look up GS_state_text in gamesequence.cpp for the full list. Override disables normal FS2 state.
#End
gamesequence.cpp

I've added some functions to CVS as well, here's the list: http://fs2source.warpcore.org/temp/scripting.html
Operator support is also in, so vectors can be modified (ie object.Position + object.Velocity will get a ship's position next frame, assuming its velocity doesn't change).

drawImage is broken right now, it's in the process of being updated by taylor to support the extra arguments.

just when i thought of something cool for the draw-image.

ooookay, i pressed the middle mouse button 3 times and i got this

LUA ERROR: [string "GS_STATE_MAIN_MENU"]:50: attempt to index global `maybe_ship' (a nil value)

That's probably a bug on my part.

Find the section of code like this:

Code: [Select]

if (not render_ship) or force_random then
render_ship = tb.getShipClassByIndex(1)
num_ship_classes = tb.getNumShipClasses()
for count=1,num_ship_classes do
maybe_ship = tb.getShipClassByIndex(ma.getRandomNumber(1, num_ship_classes))
if maybe_ship:isInTechroom() then
render_ship = maybe_ship
break
end
end
end
You'll notice that the 0s are now 1s...this is because Lua expects everything to start at 1, rather than fs2, which generally expects it to start at 0.

[Cobra]

pressed it ten times and no problems.

mn.unloadMission doesn't seem to work. Pertinent Lua code is:

Code: [Select]

--Load the mission
if not load_mission then
mn.unloadMission()
load_mission_success = mn.loadMission("MenuScene-01.fs2")
load_mission = 1
end
--Make sure we actually loaded the mission
if load_mission_success then
mn.simulateFrame()
mn.renderFrame()
end

--Function to handle a section every frame
section = function(name, event, num)
--Setup color and margin for this resolution
margin = gr.getScreenHeight()/6
gr.setColor(0, 255, 0)

--Get corner coordinates for this box
x1 = gr.getScreenWidth()-180
y1 = margin*num+20
x2 = gr.getScreenWidth()-21
y2 = margin*num+55

--When the mouse is OVER this section...
if ms.getX() > x1 and ms.getX() < x2 and ms.getY() > y1 and ms.getY() < y2 then
--Draw the dark green insides
gr.setColor(0, 96, 0)
gr.drawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2, true, false)

--Draw the little target lines now
gr.setColor(0, 255, 0)
x = x1+(x2-x1)/2
y = margin*num

--Top target line
gr.drawLine(x, y, x, y+15)

--Bottom target line
y = margin*num+65
gr.drawLine(x, y, x, y+15)

--Left target line
x = gr.getScreenWidth()-200
y = margin*num+40
gr.drawLine(x, y, x+15, y)

--Right target line
x = gr.getScreenWidth()-16
gr.drawLine(x, y, x+15, y)

--Handle the button click
if ms.isButtonDown("Left") then
bs.setEvent(event)
gr.drawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2, false, false)
sd.playInterfaceSound("user_c.wav")
load_mission = 0
end
end

--Draw the outline
gr.drawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2, false, false)

--Color should always be pure green, so I'll skip setting the color for the name
gr.drawString(name, x1 + ( (x2-x1) - gr.getTextWidth(name) ) / 2, margin*num+35, false)
end

section("Ready Room", "GS_EVENT_NEW_CAMPAIGN", 0)
section("Campaign Room", "GS_EVENT_CAMPAIGN_ROOM", 1)
section("Tech Room", "GS_EVENT_TECH_MENU", 2)
section("Barracks", "GS_EVENT_BARRACKS_MENU", 3)
section("Options", "GS_EVENT_OPTIONS_MENU", 4)
section("Exit", "GS_EVENT_QUIT_GAME", 5)If you play a mission and then leave it somehow, going back to the main menu, you will still be "in that mission". I tried to fix this by making the intro level reload upon leaving the main menu. Setting load_mission=0 upon entering a different section (e.g. Techroom) caused FS2 to crash upon returning; therefore, I then tried to add an unloadMission before the loadMission thinking that the problem was that I had a loadMission statement with a mission already loaded. Then I got the error:

Code: [Select]

LUA ERROR: [string "GS_STATE_MAIN_MENU"]:3: attempt to call field `unloadMission' (a nil value)
------------------------------------------------------------------

LUA Stack:

Using a new reload_mission flag to cause unloadMission to fire only on returning to the main hall, and not on first startup (before the mission's loaded), did not resolve the problem.

[WMCoolmon]

You might not have a build that supports it. Use -output_scripting and see if there's an unloadMission() in your build.

If not grab this one: http://fs2source.warpcore.org/temp/particled.zip

[neoflame]

-output_scripting dumped nothing about scripting into fs2.log. Right now I'm using redmenace's optimized CVS (01/16); the link you gave me crashes upon trying to into the main menu:

Incidentally, that was the fastest response I've ever seen.

[WMCoolmon]

Well, I wouldn't try unloading a mission before it's loaded...try removing that, so that it only unloads the mission if it was loaded successfully.

Edit: I ran your script, minus the mission, and it seemed to work fine except that I changed 'bs' to 'ba' in the more recent builds, for obvious reasons.

[neoflame]

I changed the first bit to:

Code: [Select]

--Load the mission
if not load_mission then
if reload_mission then
mn.unloadMission()
reload_mission = 0
end
load_mission_success = mn.loadMission("MenuScene-01.fs2")
load_mission = 1
endand the part in section() that handles clicking to:

Code: [Select]

--Handle the button click
if ms.isButtonDown("Left") then
mn.unloadMission()
ba.setEvent(event)
gr.drawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2, false, false)
sd.playInterfaceSound("user_c.wav")
reload_mission = 1
load_mission = 0
endStill no luck; now when I click a section the game crashes with the same error. Moving the mn.unloadMission() in section() around doesn't help.

[WMCoolmon]

You shouldn't call unload_mission twice, which is what will end up happening...first the mission will be unloaded and reload_mission will be set to 1, you'll enter the section, then come back to the mainhall. Reload_mission will be 1, so the second unloadMission call will execute, and reload_mission will be set to 0.
