I would like macros but not as a replacement for % as % allows for delayed evaluation making some functions faster that would otherwise be.

now that I think about it some more I like that % always has the same behavior. With a wrapper you can pass the non evaluated stuff so that isn't a problem (unless you don't like wrappers).

As for a solution I don't know, I don't want any syntax to have to look at the calling function.

That code gives the error no binding for symbol a.

Suppose you make a lambda function with several arguments sometimes you don't want to use all those arguments. There is a way to make that code faster by not evaluating all of the arguments. Here is a silly example. (setq oddEvenMulti (lambda (a %b %c) (if (eq 1 (modulo a 2)) (multiply a (eval %b)) ...

There are some cool things in the change log that alterecco found. We are going to use that to emulate enum. first the code then I will explain it :D (setq metaEnum (lambda (enumlist %Itemvar %exp) (block (counter func) (setq func (eval (list lambda (list %Itemvar) %exp))) (setq counter 0) (loop (ls...

Just thought of something interesting.

Wrecks don't normally events but now with event handlers we can put events on them.

One use might be to stop disintegration by not doing damage in onDamage. (not sure if this will work)

what other uses can you think for this?

I don't know if this will help you in your station moving problems but we got

(sysVectorPolarVelocity angle speed) -> velVector

in one of the RCs.

sounds interesting I play a couple of games like this. Will register. 8)

I don't know how doable it is at present but intrinsic cargo hold and drive might be interesting. Maybe incorporate a scanner mod or enhanced vision that can be improved to show better eyes. (maybe have overlays showing the new eyes?) I don't know where the intelligence is at but maybe you can start...

It is only one player ship but that player ship has a table in it to use different weapons and shields. To restrict it you use startingShipCriteria attribute in the AdventureDesc tag. (you can see how I did it)

I have made three tech demos showing three different damage systems. This is a tech demo with alot of logging so be aware of that. link: http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=668 In the simple damage system weapons have a weapon value and armors, stations, and shields have an armor value. There is a ...

no Wolfy I said dynamic cargo holds would be good as a modded item. Adding custom cargo bays would be the best solution as you can't expect vanilla cargo bays to know and adjust to your mod. Adding items is a basic part of modding and you can't complain when adding better stuff the worse stuff stays...

There are several places where items are displayed and there are some issues with the way it is currently done. On the ship selection screen it shows some devices. For weapons ,shields , and armor it gives the names and some stats. If those devices are in tables they can still be shown on this scree...

I think you overstate your case. While yes it is useful in non standard armors and digdug misspoke when he said it was deprecated hpbonus is still the preferred mode. Changes can be made to the curve without effecting hpbonus armors at all but could all damageAdj armors to be need to be redone. As f...

I am a bit busy with a few other projects so I thought I would throw these ideas out and see if anyone wants them.
