I noticed, that script, that draws menu items is called every frame. Is it necessary? Why script is called so often?
So I think I know why I have 30 frames per second in menu and 100-200 in game.

tst = []
tst = [tst echo 1]
tst = [tst echo 2]
tst

=> segfault:)

How to create pre-defined list of commands?
For ex:
tst = []
addcmd tst [echo 1]
addcmd tst [echo 2]
tst

as result:
1
2

This may improve performance.

addcmd = [$arg1 = (concat (getalias $arg1) ";" $arg2)]

also: cubescript is probably in no way similar to cpp or any other language out there. don't try to base your previous experiences for a better understanding of cubescript, it may prove harder ;)

And yea, its true that gui items are constantly being drawn and called, but this is what allows for the items to be dynamic in it. I do agree that in cases, this is useless though.

I bet many more experience this GUI lag, and i certainly did with my fps dropping to 30 from a least of 500 every time i opened the servers menu. But in the svn i can gladly say that the cubescript is way lighter and faster since it was almost completely rebuilt, if that is correct as a term. Now the heaviest of GUI elements and loops don't bog me down at all :)

By the way, the segfault was because called tst recursively which resulted in an infinite loop.

And yes, dynamic GUIs are awesome.

that could take well over 2 years, by estimation. you're better off downloading the svn from

https://sauerbraten.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sauerbraten

with an SVN client, like TortoiseSVN, or SmartSVN which you can get the trial for 30 days and still use its basic features afterwards.

Hm... Maybe you right. But I see that releases were quite often last time.

But the more awesome stuff added in the svn, the less you can wait for a release :P

How to sort items in list alphabetically?

list = "beta alpha"
list = sort $list
=> "alpha beta"
Maybe someone wrote sorting function:)

there is no sorting command as far as i know, and making one in cubescript is not really efficient..
