SRB2Python is a branch of SRB2 2.0, with Python scripting capabilities. This means that SRB2 can now be scripted with Python for greater control and interactivity. Right now it is at a very early alpha stage, with a WIP release in the SRB2MB

New console commands

openpyconsole: Opens a GUI console for modifying game data in real time (not available on PowerPC builds of SRB2Python).

python '[code]': Runs a single line of Python. Must be in quotes.

Example

Say you wanted to make your rings 9999 for whatever reason in Single Player. The code for this would look like:

player = srb2.get_player(0)

player.health = 10000

player.mo.health = 10000

srb2.set_player(0,player)

Let's go over what this does line-by-line:

Line 1: The variable 'player' is defined to be a reference to the first player in the game.

Line 2: The player's ring count is set to 9999. (Note that health = 1 + rings)

Line 3: The player's map object ring count is set to 9999.

Line 4: The modified player data is pushed back into the game state. If you do not do this, no player state changes will be reflected.

Another caveat: Upon SP death, the player reference is invalid and a new one has to be fetched.

Another another caveat: Netgames will lag like no tomorrow if you try pulling something like this as the host. Doing it as a client has not been tested, but it likely will not work.
