Can we extend the Alive Tablet with scripts?

  1. 8 years ago

    So, we've been having quite a lot of issues using RHS on our server. Artillery doesn't work, combat logistics can take forever, missions are flaky at best. The core ALiVE experience is still wonderful but a lot of the Quality of Life features are just unusable to us. We're thinking about just disabling them and writing our own scripts to deal with this sort of thing. Is it possible for us to extend the tablet so we can integrate this or do we just need to go for a completely de-integrated from ALiVE method?

    Nothing to stop you giving it a go, though for personal use only (no public release with the current license terms). You might want to try again with the upcoming release too. There are quite a few fixes to artillery and missions which should make them a little more stable.

  3. So I take it it is possible?

    Also, does it count as distribution if we have the mission on a public server but don't distribute the unPBOd mission files?

    Depends on what exactly you want to do, you could make independent scripts and use a UI to activate/manage them. Extending the built-in ALiVE UI's isn't possible without having a high-probability of causing issues, can always experiment though.

    Since everyone would need the addon to be able to join, yes it would.

  6. Oh, so you're saying we'd need to dePBO ALiVE, change the scripts and then rePBO. I was originally hoping that there might be some sort of API that we could use that wouldn't require us to modify the PBO.
