Winter Update 1.5.3

[h2]Onset 1.5.3 (Protocol Compatibility 5)[/h2]

[h3]Client update[/h3]

Add function EnableSnowParticles(bEnable)

Add function SetLandscapeSnowAlpha(Val)

Example usage:


AddEvent("OnPackageStart", function()
    EnableSnowParticles(true)
    SetLandscapeSnowAlpha(1.0)
end)

The loadstring function now has a 2nd optional parameter for the package name. You can specify a different package where the code will be executed in.

For example you could create a console function that executes code in a specific package. In the above picture you can see the new snow function being executed in the package 'default'.

Code used:

AddEvent("OnConsoleInput", function(input)

	local cmd
	local args = {}
	for word in input:gmatch("%w+") do
		if cmd == nil then
			cmd = word
		else
			table.insert(args, word)
		end
	end
	
	if cmd == "x" then
		
		if args[1] == nil then
			print("Usage: x  ")
			return true
		end
		
		local code = input:sub(string.len(args[1]) + 4)
		
		print("Package Name:", args[1])
		print("Code to be executed in package:", code)		
		
		loadstring(code, args[1])
		
		return true
		
	end
	
end)

_PACKAGENAME
