*Thread Under Development
Last updated 03-04-2012

This thread will be updated as more potential commands are tested in the game using ifs_pausemenu.lua and new scripts. Its main focus is to test the in-game functionality of the various ScriptCB_ command code scripts stored in the executable. Most of these have not been tested yet but this knowledge base will increase with further testing.

Confirmed/Tested Commands:
ScriptCB_CloseNetShell()
This will disconnect the player from a server even if they are the host. Can be used in conjunction with exit to windows for a proper shut down see this thread
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4225.0

ScriptCB_PlayerSuicide(0)
- This is the command that triggers player suicide when clicking respawn, it is found in the ifs_pausemenu.lua

ScriptCB_DoFile("ifs_yourscriptnamehere")
- This calls upon an lua script and makes the game load it.

ScriptCB_QuitToShell()
- This exits the map being played and takes the player to the game shell, which in multiplayer happens to be the server lobby.

ScriptCB_QuitToWindows()
- In single player this will instantly close the battlefront executable. In multi-player, the application freezes and must be process terminated with task manager. No fix has been discovered yet.
* EDIT A fix has just been discovered see the link posted above
I recently tested a script mod which enabled the exit to windows option in multiplayer pause menu, and made it so it ran QuitToShell THEN QuitToWindows. However this didn't work and the game still froze.

ScriptCB_Freecamera()
- This puts the game into freecam mode which lets the camera move freely around the map whether spawned or unspawned. The default controls for freecam have yet to be modified.

This is from sleepkiller
Quote-- The first number must be the team you want the player on the second one must be left alone.
ScriptCB_SetPlayerSide(1,0)
-- Same thing applys to this one.
ScriptCB_SetPlayerSide(1,1)
-- Stop them from changing once we have them
ScriptCB_SetCanSwitchSides(nil)



Commands that appear to do nothing from testing:
ScriptCB_OpenNetShell()
- This does nothing at all in multiplayer or single player

ScriptCB_Unpause()
- I tried removing this command from the respawn section in ifs_pausemenu.lua and tested the mod in a root server but nothing happened except a wierd leg animation glitch. Also does nothing in single player. It appears that calling on a Script_CB is always client-sided and there are no server overrides. This may not in fact be true but so far I think it probably is.


Unknown/Untested commands that seem important or interesting:
ScriptCB_AreMetagameRulesOn()
- It appears that MetagameRules are a set of code parameters which tell the game how to differentiate between multiplayer servers and single player games. For example, I suspect it may contain code that tells the game run a script that enables public/team chat in multiplayer games, and disable it in single player. Or it may control other variables such as framerate, password/cd-key verification, or how landmines are thrown. I have no idea really only conjecture at this point.

ScriptCB_IFText_GetDisplayRect(nil); 
ScriptCB_IFText_GetTextExtent
- Not sure what these do but I suspect something to do with in game font or chat display.

ScriptCB_SetQuitPlayer(2)
- I think this has something to do with the confirmation window that appears when you chose to quit game from pause menu. I removed this and the other confirmation codes for quit game with success so it may not be that relevant.

ScriptCB_RestartMission()
- This tells the game to restart the server from the current map being played and should load any updated LVL files. I have an idea I will be testing soon which would possibly allow a nondedicated PC server host to restart their server directly through the pause menu. I will post the results here after testing.

ScriptCB_ResetSkipToPlayerList()
- Appears it might have something to do with the ScriptCB_Unpause(). It's function is currently unknown though.

ScriptCB_InNetGame
- This appears a lot in the ifs_pausemenu and although I do not know exactly what it does it seems similar to the MetagameRules commands in that I suspect it also controls settings for multiplayer script functionality.

ScriptCB_IsDedicated
- Something that controls in game dedicated hosting maybe?



Stuff such as "ScriptCB_IsSplitscreen" can be ignored as it applies to console only and is unused in game for PC.

Remember that double minus symbols -- are nulls which cancel out a command. So if you want to enable freecam just go to line 233 and add -- in front of this line:
this.buttons.freecam.hidden = gDemoBuild or gFinalBuild

Some notes:
Code (lua) Select

ScriptCB_SetMetagameRulesOn()   -- (1) or (nil)
ScriptCB_SetHistoricalRulesOn() -- (1) or (nil)
ScriptCB_SetCanSwitchSides()    -- (1) or (nil)

Part of Input_Accept in the ifs_sp screen at the moment a button selecting Campaign, Galactic Conquest, or Instant Action is pressed.

Still not sure what they affect, but that's the proper place to set them. In the shell, before any maps are selected and after sp/mp has been decided.

Have not tested using them via fake console or pausemenu. I believe they set up stuff for map initialization, so using them in-game would (should) have no effect.



Found the dates for timestamping:
Code (lua) Select
TheDate = gsub(ScriptCB_GetDateStr(),"%z","")
ScriptCB_GetDateStr() does in-fact return a string, but every other character is a null (0x00), so they won't be displayed in most text editors.

To get a proper date out of it, use gsub to replace the nulls with an empty string "".
(gsub uses the pattern %z to recognize nulls. yeah, we should have been able to guess that.. silly us...)
The above will return a string similar to:
Code (lua) Select
2013-10-09 0656
format() could be used to process it further.

As-is, it's only good for min to min timming, but experimenting with passing parameters to ScriptCB_GetDateStr() may expose seconds or miliseconds. Probably something like the C printf formatting strings stuff. Not sure.



ScriptCB_FormatTimeString() does format a time string, but you have to feed it a number (in seconds). Otherwise it fails.
Code (lua) Select
SomeTime = gsub(ScriptCB_FormatTimeString(903),"%z","")
-- will return:
-- 15:03
Again, the string it returns is peppered with nulls, so they must be stripped before using.

The only instance I found of it was in metagame_util.lua, where it gets it's number from a property called .CurTime which gets it's values from a metagame structure I haven't explored yet. I'm betting C is feeding a var in Lua space the seconds. We may not have access to it anyplace else.



Testing for nulls, I (redundantly) confirm that the Lua System commands, date() and clock() return a nil value, and cannot be compared, printed or used for producing anything other than a nil.



ScriptCB_GetMissionTime() returns the mission time as a string formatted as min:sec:mil as min:sec. Pretty handy, but still no milliseconds.
I tested it from the pause menu in a single player game. It returns 0 when called from the shell.

(Lua re-casts the var type as needed, so it may be returning a number or string, but it will still be able to be compared because of the same auto-casting behavior.)



--[dificulty stuff]--

Code (lua) Select
--ScriptCB_GetDifficulty()

-- parameters: n1 and n2 should be numbers.
--             they have something to do with the number of availiable maps in
--             galactic conquest.
-- found in: [line numbers in brackets]
--           ifs_meta_battle.lua [32][34][131][133]
-- notes: I believe it sets some metric for the GC AI and has nothing to do with
--        the in-game AI.


Code (lua) Select
--ScriptCB_SetDifficulty(n)
-- parameters: n should be a number
--          [1, 2, or 3](easy, medium, hard)

--           ifs_opt_general.lua [187][218][249]
--           ifs_sp_briefing.lua [765]
-- notes: Pretty sure it sets the difficulty in the profile, so if a map is
--        already initialized, this won't have an effect on the current map.


Code (lua) Select
--SetEnemyTeamDifficulty(n)
--SetPlayerTeamDifficulty(n)
-- parameters: n should be a number
-- notes: the only example is commented out in kam1c.lua with 11 as it's number. Most likely a depreciated feature.

Code (lua) Select
--SetEnemyTeamDifficultyEasy(n)
--SetEnemyTeamDifficultyMedium(n)
--SetEnemyTeamDifficultyHard(n)
--SetPlayerTeamDifficultyEasy(n)
--SetPlayerTeamDifficultyMedium(n)
--SetPlayerTeamDifficultyHard(n)
-- parameters: n should be a number
-- found in: all the hustorical mission luas.
-- notes: they seem to accept a wider range of values than SetDifficulty.
          And all appear in the same files. Don't know how to use them.
