What?

A fake plugin system for OpenArena

Requirements

• Lua 5.1-5.3
• xdotool
• Currently tested only for GNU/Linux.
• (Not really required unless you want to edit source .moon files) Moonscript compiler

You'll also have to bind F7 to exec magic.cfg.

But why?

Just for fun, of course.

How does it work?

run.lua executes OpenArena (you'll have to configure path first) and redirects its output to capture.lua. Then capture.lua will read input line-by-line and do one of the following things for each line:

• ignore
• send line to plugins to handle (plugins are special scripts in 'plugins' folder)
• decide that you've just typed a command and try to run it

Possible commands are:

• /plug plugin_name [args] (turn on plugin)
• /unplug plugin_name (turn off plugin)
• /pset plugin variable value (set plugin's variable)
• /pprint plugin variable (print plugin's variable using /echo command)

These commands don't exist in OpenArena, but the script will understand you.
