Interested? I am working on that! :-) For now, I have a name: Soulcube and a working Win32 and MacOSX version. Lua API is done from 75%. Most of the scripts are rewriten to Lua. Simple needed-libraries build system is also done (few scripts + makefiles).

Soon I will release it...

Hi!

Thanks to all for your help and reports!

dan454: Great work! I'll check it next week (17.+), and I'll release the new one. Thanks again! (Now I am sitting behind a modem, I'm on wacation... :))

Latest changes:

2006/07/09
+ SetMusicVol() now works in-game. Used by edit-toggle command
(see EDITTOGGLE in commands.lua)

2006/07/08
+ automatic map packaging (zipping) removed.
+ added suport for deflate compression to unzip library (even -9 comression
is supported!). Inflating is done using Zlib.
WARNING: *.zip files should not be created by MacOSX BOMArchiveHelper
("Create archive of..."), because it stores zerro-sizes of deflated files
in zip directory structure. Use: "zip -r mapname.zip mapname" instead!
Example of packaging script:
cd mapname-directory
zip -r9 ../mapname.zip *
or for windows:
cd mapname-directory
zip -r9 ../mapname.zip *.*

2006/07/07
+ bufio.cpp extended
+ added dmsg.h (for debug messages)

map.cgz + map.lua (old format)

map.zip/map.map + map.zip/map.lua (new packed format)
.zip files (map packages) are standart .zip files without compression
engine itself uses command "zip -r0j <pakname> <mapdirname>" - see packmap()
in worldio.h

cube.DrawText(str, left, top, gl_num)
cube.ResetMovement("entity")
cube.RefreshServers()

I'll have to check all fixed paths in my makefiles. Thanks for pointing me to that! I have DevCpp installed without a compiler. Mingw is in separate directory (I tried CodeBlocks and needed yust on compiler in system, etc. :-))

For now, Soulcube as Cobe plug-in is not planned. I'll try to create some installation script(s) to make Cube to Soulcube transformation as easy, as possible.

And yes, one day complete new data should be created aslso! :)


PS: The plug-in thing is intesting... Hmmm! ;)
