system -- as the enormous diff in my repository can attest to. (: I'm<br>
running through them at the moment to find regressions and deal with<br>
a few variable typos and stuff I caught along the way. I haven't tried<br>
a PSP build yet, but I'm hoping it'll cut down on map change time now<br>
that we don't have to compile every script umpteen times over. It does<br>
feel like map changes on the PC are a little faster, though my own<br>
system is fast enough it's hard to tell the difference.<br>
<br>
I still want to try and find a way to get the scripts working without<br>
the extra variable table, not so much for performance or anything but<br>
because I always strive for elegant code (as you may have noticed, heh).<br>
I think the ultimate solution would be to redesign the scripts to run as<br>
true threads, in the sense that you start a script and it keeps running<br>
in a while loop or something until the entity dies or the map changes or<br>
whatever. That may be a project for Much Later, though...<br>
