Official API documentation

[Guest xtreampb]

Hey Team,

 

I'm really interested in this game.  Looks amazing and promissing.  What I really like is the ability to write lua scripts (I would like C# but that is a personal choice).  I didn't know if there was any official API documentation that describes what the game exposes.  Also are able to display things on the player's HUD, or do we have to 'create our own' with in game screens?

It's available in the in-game codex.

Press F1 then go down to Scripting on the right, it's in there. Took me a while to find it too. :P

Is the Codex in the game directory anywhere to extract the information for easier reading?

Having the in game codex is useful but I keep having to refer to it part way through editing a Programming board or chair etc. Which I have to save, open the codex then reopen the board.

In town, not playing game, don’t have access to the in game codex. Is there somewhere which lists the elements and there available commands we can look at out of game? I know that the website dual.sh has a list, but it doesn’t have a date on the page so I don’t know how up to date it is.

And there are some LUA libraries that give more tidbits on what you can do in HDD:\Dual Universe\Game\data\lua
