A few more lua functions

[softcoder]

By request from Muwuum I've added a few more lua methods:

Code: [Select]

string getSystemMacroValue(string key)
string getPlayerName(int factionIndex);
The first function will be expanded as time goes on, but for now it allows you to get the path to the loaded scenario, example:

Code: [Select]

dofile(getSystemMacroValue("$SCENARIO_PATH") .. "startup.lua")
The second returns the playername for the given faction index example:

Code: [Select]

getPlayerName(0)
would return the playername for player in the first faction. This would be useful for network scenarios. This is in svn and would be included in the next release.

Thanks

I will do the documentation on the wiki.

But it's MuwuM (or short: "Move"):

Muwuum

Out of Topic:
"muwum" is a Jingulu-word which means: "be dark". I have choosen this Nickname because it is symmetrical.

Edit: Documentation is done.

Edit2:
     Just noticed that GAE has comparable methods so we maybe should support theirs as alias.
     It would be playerName() and scenarioDir().
Edit3:
     I created the alias-methods. Patch-file: http://www.muwum-lexicons.de/patch-for-3042-lua-alias.patch
