Scripts Overview

A companion page addendum to A Development Tutorial by Slowhand.

FOnline SDK Scripts Overview

This will be a list of the script files from Reloaded version 1 source, which will help you find where to edit/modify values/scripts. I will updated them as I progress through them myself. This is done to help me and others following the FOnline tutorials.

Colors

• Definitions = assignment values to variables (for better understanding of the code).
• Macros = definitions of macro functions (functions used often, in different script files).
• Script files which contain only definitions or macros are colored greenish.
• Script files which contain other scripts than defines are colored blueish.
• Script files that are (supposed to be) related to other script files, but are unused or were never used are colored grayish.
• Script files listed nearby each other, without being separated by descriptions, belong together.
