The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Using CamelCase and capitalizing the part after "Pre" or "Post" feels fine. How do you determine what feels fine? That is not exactly a precise question, so let me elaborate a little bit more. I guess most people would answer that determining what feels fine means hearing about ...

Only ~70?

I have asked for a split of the repository ever since it was converted into a git one.

I hope you have more luck than me

I like them.
But that might be because I am biased.

They were introduced (iirc by Zookeeper) after I suggested them.
It was the first idea of mine that made it into Wesnoth.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, if I declare a non-global function foo() in the folder AddOn1/Test1, then that function would not be available to Irdya once it starts reading the folder AddOn1/Test2? Or AddOn2/Test3? And the same is true for any non-global variable? Sorry, let's try that a...

Okay, I have learned that I haven't communicated well enough how WesMods and WSL works. Let me try again. Irdya reads all its content in the form of WesMods. After loading a few of them finally a scenario is started. Irdya can't do much more. Load WesMods and play scenarios. When you have a host tha...

Does that mean variables can be declared just about anywhere? Not quite. It means Lua/MoonScript can be coded anywhere. Declaring variables is only one of the options. Let's have another example to show what is possible. last = 10 for i=1, last scenario id: "scenario_number_#{i}" next_sce...

So to have everything be "add-on local", I would just need to wrap all the WSL in my add-on in an event that happens before the events I'm using? I don't know the exact shape of your add-on. I guess the music player comes as a mp modification? The trick is not to wrap it into events but t...

What about "movetype"?

movetype.name is also used as id.

Okay, so event names or better types are a special case. I have reasons to capitalize them. Start TimeOver Turn1 Side2Turn3 And so on. I am also going to call them PreStart PreRecruit PostAdvance and so on. Using CamelCase and capitalizing the part after "Pre" or "Post" feels fine.

Maybe for this case there should be a way to qualify which addon's variable you are trying to read/write? (namespacing like addon.var, for example.) Yes. And the good news are: Lua comes with exactly that feature. And you also guessed the exact syntax for accessing the variable. Although Pentarctag...

we had a statistic gatherer in place ages ago. I used it to balance scenarios, you could see when people drop out of your campaign. If they drop out with little money they most likely fail for balancing reasons. I would like to see such info for mine campaign, regardless of 'rating' question. Yes, ...

Wow, I am happy it gone to a quite constructive way. :lol: No. I bet nothing will happen regarding the issue. Please note, we had a statistic gatherer in place ages ago. I used it to balance scenarios, you could see when people drop out of your campaign. If they drop out with little money they most...

I have been involved into the discussion around that topic a lot and this argument is new to me. You mean my proposition or the reason I recalled for the rating feature not being implemented? If the latter, then I likely misremembered it. We talked about the "like" vs "number" r...
