Is it possible to put a CLI (command line interface) into a program? And if so, how would that be accomplished? Also, how would I make my own scripting language that could be used for modifications to my game. Is it even possible?

I think DBC has a CLI thing. Not sure about DBP though.

It is possible to make scripting in DBP, but it's really hard, mainly because it can get so complicated and DBPro doesn't have sufficient things such as arrays in structs. I'm making one as we speak in C++, and I find it much easier than when I was making it in DBP.

You're gonna have to describe it a little more. What will it's syntax be? Will it have functions? Etc. You should just go with Lua, it costs money, but everyone seems to like it.

I mean add a CLI in-compiled program for the user to try. FPSC has it's own scripting language, and I mean the .fpi and .fpe.

Also, on the Lua site, it says that it is free for download.

Well, that's just the Lua library, it's very common for lots of languages. DavidT made Unity which is a plugin for DBP, and it costs $20

Any alternatives? I'm focusing on the scripting language now. How did FPSC do it?

FPSC scripting language is kinda crap lol. What you want for DBP is something that can atleast support variables and control structures (if statements etc). It's not very easy, I've been working on my scripting for about 7 months now, heheh.

Does anyone else have an example? I dont have the expansion pack so I cant look at the FPSC source.

[Nevermind I misread the pages]

I made a parser to make scripts for the Open MMORPG project and RiiDii added more to it, probably not the latest version but you may have to look around for it. This version still works well though.
