Ideas for ULX v2 ( complete recode )

(1/10) > >>

Megiddo:
Give me your ideas for a recoded ULX here!


* Keep similar configure system
* Database manager ( player "classes" to hold needed information, use metatables )
* More function-like required download (return true if it's a new entry so the programmer can restart the map if so desired)
* Maybe design some menus for use by server admins alone and/or normal clients and have them "download" it ( Perhaps just make a function that can send whole menus in their native format? )
* Black-box all listen functions that can conflict, make them safer
* Make slap slap people out of vehicles, see it it's workable in mods such as melon race
* Prop ideas:
* Make props auto-delete when the user has been gone for a certain amount of time ( ie: 5 minutes after they leave their props self-destruct )
* Add option so that everyone's own props are protected from users without access?
* Prop cleanup ( or other cleanups )
* Don't put any settings in .lua files, move them all to config files ( gimp settings, prop settings, etc )
* Forcedownload -- Allow entire folders
* Allow commands to affect all users? ( Seems more of a per-command option though )
EDIT: Some incentive: If your suggestion(s) gets incorporated in ULX v2, you'll be given beta tester access to v2 while it's in development! To protect myself... I won't accept suggestions that are already in ULX v1.1.

Golden-Death:
Id like to see more functionality. IE, most scripting systems add tons more commands that are new / easier to use than the long winded alternative. (Cvars)

What are you suggesting? Please give me a clear idea!

Golden-Death:
Find useful script functions that could be used, but are hard to set up.
(EX [fictional]:

To find player health and add X to it:
-----------------
_LuaFindPlayer(target)
_GetHP(target)
_AddHP(amnt; target)
-----------------
^ Take that and condense it to a useful ULX function:

IE: ulx_addhealth(target, amount)

Golden-Death:
so instead of typing 3 lines, we use 1 simple function
