Just felt that the truer geeks of you out there might like to know, I'm working on a script reference file for the following.

-- Basic language syntax
-- Functions
-- Objects, their properties and methods.

Currently I have the language syntax done, and just recently started towards the function reference. Because the script is more so object oriented, I don't figure the function reference will be too long, but expect a large amount of content in the objects reference.

This document is being done in CHM format for ease of use.

Being as this is a reference, it's not designed to make things understandable to anyone but those with a grasp on programming theory. If you've ever programmed before, for the most part it should make sense. If you've programmed in C++, everything should be quite clear. If not, I suggest you pick up a basic programming book. Any language is fine, as only the syntax changes from language to language, not the theory.

Dont bother about the lua sybtax just link to www.lua.org (http://www.lua.org) everything about lua is there. Even lua editors and IDEâ´s.

But the special functions for the CryEngine is great.

That, would have saved me a lot of time, heh. Well, I already have it finished, so I'll just leave it as it is, accuracy be damned. A link in the front to the site should suffice if someone needs to learn LUA.

But yeah, I'll work on getting the class API out as fast as I can. Of course, I'm getting this info from the official scripts, so accuracy will be limited to what I can see.

I would love to learn about modding Far Cry. Please keep me updated as your work progresses - A PM every now and then would be great.

Thanks.
