Server Help

is it true that at the moment python modules cant tell at which direction and speed a ball was fired? why arent they just in the callback? i hope thats false and someone will explain how to get the info :/

[Bak]

add the callback you want

And make sure you submit the patch to Grel, or you'll be up a creek if anything changes in future versions.

so.. in other words there is no way to access that data (BallData) with python?

and what comes to me editing the callback, im afraid being barely able to read C is not sufficient for that.. unless the only change needed is

Code: Show/Hide DO_CBS(CB_BALLFIRE, arena, BallFireFunc, (arena, p, bid));

->

Code: Show/Hide DO_CBS(CB_BALLFIRE, arena, BallFireFunc, (arena, p, bid, bd->x, bd->y, bd->xspeed, bd->yspeed));

in balls.c and even so i really have no idea how to build the server on my own

[Bak]

you'll probably want to make it a new callback, so it doesn't interfere with other modules that use that callback already (or be prepared to recompile everything). You only need to compile the balls.c file for a change like that. You also need to change the CB_BALLFIRE or whatever #defined constant you use in balls.h as well as the BallFireFunc definition

[Smong]

You'll also need to recompile pymod.c as well as balls.c. When creating the new callback don't forget to write matching markup for the pymod scripts to find (something like pycb:).
