So, I've been working on a completly new RPG mod for Eventscripts, but seeing how ES doesn't get any updates anymore and had a pretty bad update history, I made the decision to port this to Source.Python and only release it on SP.

The idea of the RPG is to be a large all-in one plugin with which you can theoretically emulate WC3Source or other skill based plugins by creating classes. Depending on how much time I have on my hands, it might just release with the standard RPG features though.

I also intend it to be highly configuration driven, so that you can configure most of the aspects of the skills and RPG easily.

I have a WIP wiki page:
http://www.german-slaughterhouse.de/wiki/GSRPG

Also a todo-list of not-yet included features:
https://www.german-slaughterhouse.de/forum/index.php?topic=497.0

At some point in the fuiture, I'll also make a public SVN/HG/GIT repo, but for now I just use an internal one.

And on a last note, this is what needs to be done in SP before I can really port it [may not be completly accurate]:

entity stuff like fire, give, remove (fire doesn't seem to exist - correct me if I'm wrong)
popups - need API
sounds
KeyValues and Vector for entites
Preferably dyncall, but not absolutly required atm

First of all, nice idea! I got something for you for the gamethread stuff, which is better than the ES gamethread imo:

Syntax: Select all

from threading import Timer

x = Timer(5.0, print, ("Hello", "World", 36367376))
x.run()

I guess we can make something out of this for SP.

The functionality that you need from gamethread is to "jump back" to the thread, alas execute something on the next tick. Because as for some commands, it's not safe to execute them at any time (server will crash). Also with timer (I think it's a thread with a sleep actually, correct me if I am wrong :P), I think it's also possible to execute code in scripts that are not loaded anymore.

Oh yes right. We need a tick listener then... =)

Your code would be the same equilevent to:

Syntax: Select all

time.sleep(5)
print('Hello World 36367376')

your execution the run() event where it does code and not starting the timer, like this:

Syntax: Select all

x = threading.Timer(5.0, print, ("Hello", "World", 36367376))
x.start()

class threading.Timer(interval, function, args=[], kwargs={})

you're right, start() was it... but does it "sleep" then? or not?

Yes, but in a different Thread, so it wont make the server stop for 5 seconds.
