[Client-MOD]nClient0.6-L1.0 (Page 1 of 2)

This mod was very much work, mainly by MAP94, and I hope the users will see the enormous potential the use of the Lua-Api means.

nice client...i like the feature playing music, but...am I right, that I can't stop the music while being in a server? Everytime I want to stop the music I have to disconnect from the server?!

and in the music tab you can even bind key.

(i found a bug in the music bind buttons, going to fix this in the next version)

Remember that reconnect feature is a cheat. I reccomend you to delete it.
Image example

Lua can just used to mod the client so just don't make one. And the reconnect thing is just a lua script. delete it.

So, in other terms, you provide a forbidden feature known for stressing servers, and justify yourself saying this is no problem, because you could easily delete it from the client. Wtf. It's like providing a bot with an option to disable it, it doesn't justify you release such a feature.

Dear Dune (and other who see the possibilities by the N-Client critically),

Yes, with we know that its possible to cheat with Lua scripts or implement »illegal« features. But in the same way its possible for everyone to make thoses modifications in C++. Was that a reason not to publish the source of Teeworlds? No! Everbody can download is and use the source to build breathtaking bots - and its the same thing with lua scripts.

To minimize the possibilities to abuse Lua Scripts we still have not published our N-Client source until we find a good solution for that problem.

So, do us all the favor and dont act like we have open the gates of hell with the implementation of the API!

for some reason the skin loader does not work on every system. So deactivate the skinloader "cl_skin_loader 0" (f1) and restart your client. thx for reporting the bug

»I'm still not convinced at all that making client-sided modding available for everyone is a good point.«

Well, I don´t think that it ok to treat users like incapable kids and make the decision for them what features should be available to them and which not.

You cant stop progress!

btw: I think its a little bit inconsequent to critizise (still removed) scripts like the lua reconnect and offer feaures like viewing the game layers in your gamer client – great to see all hidden ways, teleporter, etc ;-)

Just to clear things up:
Showing the gamelayers is not considered as "cheating", because it does not affect vanilla gameplay at all. Even more, maps that have hidden ways etc. are considered as bad.
Reconnect scripts on the other hand put a quite heavy load on servers thus causing them to lag which worsens the other players experience of the game, which means it does affect vanilla gameplay.
However, There should probably be a server side solution for this problem (i.e. ban client's if there have been too many requests in a certain time). Still it might be working as a very light DoS.

About your client: I think that people should put more effort in actually developing the game itself rather than more useless client modifications. I personally think that a LUA API can be very powerful (though it has to be handled with a lot of care, there is a reason why the standard client does not allow scripting), so instead of writing your own client, why don't you try contributing that to teeworlds. As you might know there was an attempt to create a server side API for LUA so new gametypes/weapons/etc. can easily be created in LUA so that the server binary does not have to be recompiled. Why don't you try working on something like that (would be of really great benefit, you know )?

ok … we respect your point of view.

But the reason why we make our own client and later open the source disscussions like that. We want to create something new for Teeworlds and don´t have to ask everybody about doubts and personal preferences.
We hate discussions like: Insta is bad for Teeworlds, DDRace is a noobmod  maps with hidden ways are considered as bad, and so on. 

Give the players the personal freedom to decide the way they like to play that game.

Giving u a suggestion why not use fmod or BASS audio library to allow the use of mp3 files.I would suggest to use fmod since its easier to integrate into the client.
