@Talairina:
To my knowledge, the only Lemur feature we've added was team deathmatch.
Now, I don't want to sound rude, but it's very difficult to give the commands any more of an explanation. They are, as is, as self explanatory as I can see them being. Sure, many of them are abbreviated a bit, but that's to keep the names from ending up as something along the lines of "SetACamerasOffsetOnTheXAxis" instead of a simple "CamOffsetX". Actions normally set something and conditions normally check something. Taking "CamOffsetX" as an example, it's an action so it must be setting something. From the name we can gather it's setting something related to a camera, an offset, and an X (and since there are accompanying commands with "Y" and "Z" we can safely assume the X refers to an axis). Put the pieces together and it should seem obvious as to what it does.
Anywhere in the manual that I felt a command held any form of ambiguity, I added a little more description, even small examples of what the command would look like with real parameters passed into it. And in the sections concerning core features, such as the variable recognition, I went into a little further detail and gave some more examples of how it's used.
Quote: "No in-depth details would be required. By overview I mean, how many commands were added related to camera interaction, or variable usage"
I'm not sure how beneficial a count of commands would be for each section. Do you mean something like "Camera Commands: 17"? Or were you looking for something a little different?
Quote: "I believe there's the equivalent of an if() check in the commands now?"
Conditions are, in essence, an "if" clause.
The following:
:state=10,keypressed=31 0:<do actions>
could be read in english as:
If state is equal to 10 and scancode 31 is not being pressed, then do actions.
Quote: "there's little information out there concerning what is otherwise an amazing modification"
Well, I just re-read the Ply's Mod manual as well as the Project Blue manual, followed by the AirMod manual... and although the information was spread out, there's very little else to explain about the Mod. The Ply's Mod manual contained almost every command in the Mod, as well as sections for the core features. The AirMod manual explained how to use it's features as well. The Project Blue manual kinda summed everything up.
Is there something specific you're looking for that is absent from the manual(s)? If there is, please post here letting me know, or shoot me an email. An example of what you're looking for would be of great help too. I'd like to make the manual easier to read and obtain information from, so I'm open to suggestions.
FYI, the reason my manual is probably so strewn out and illegible is probably because when I first learned programming, I learned it from an old C64 manual, which had the worst possible organization imaginable, but it did contain all of the information necessary. I tried to organize things in the manual a bit, but that's what I grew up with.
Quote: "do you think their will ever be away to output a text file with, for example, a few strings of text detailing time of completion (Can be tracked via a timer/variable perhaps), scores, lives and so on."
There certainly is a way to do that with modification to the source. However, the hard thing about making FPI commands is... you're limited to having 0-3 parameters for your commands, and IF you want a parameter to be a string then it must be the ONLY parameter of the command. This is because we must allow spaces to be used within the string (especially for paths to files) and the parameter seperater is, sadly, a space.
So, while the idea and the code behind such a thing is relatively simple, setting up commands for this would require a little more thought and will most likely turn out to be a tad complicated, much like setting up a HUD.
Hope that answers all of your questions. Like I said earlier, I am not intending to be mean or anything, just saying it like it is. If you wish to help us out with the manual issue, I will surely welcome any charity help you have to offer.
The one and only,
