Template:API proposal

Note that the number of 'arg1' etc is fixed (i.e. 10) but can be omitted without issue. the 'type' template is just a way to make inserting different styles within the param list easier, Template:Pipe already exists and is required as it is a special char within mediawiki syntax, could use {{!}} as a shorter alternative to pipe.

{{API <!-- Callout example -->
|prefix = Spring
|name = UseTeamResource
|arg1 = {{type|number}} teamID
|arg2 = {{type|string}} "metal" {{pipe}} "energy"
|arg3 = {{type|number}} amount {{pipe}} { metal = {{type|number}} amount, energy = {{type|number}} amount }
|output = {{type|nil}} {{pipe}} {{type|bool}} hadEnough
|info = Imposes a one-off usage of resources on the given team. The return value indicates whether or not the team had sufficient resources to meet the usage demand.
}}

Spring.UseTeamResource(number teamID, string "metal" | "energy", number amount | { metal = number amount, energy = number amount })

-> nil | bool hadEnough

Deduct the specified amount from the team's metal or energy resource.

vs.

{{API <!-- Callin example -->
|prefix = addon <!-- May use gadget: instead? -->
|name = AllowUnitTransfer
|arg1 = {{type|number}} unitID
|arg2 = {{type|number}} unitDefID
|arg3 = {{type|number}} oldTeam
|arg4 = {{type|number}} newTeam
|arg5 = {{type|bool}} capture
|return = {{type|bool}} allow <!-- note that this is a different entry than output above -->
|info = Called just before a unit is transferred to a different team, the boolean return value determines whether or not the transfer is permitted.
}}

addon.AllowUnitTransfer(number unitID, number unitDefID, number oldTeam, number newTeam, bool capture)

return: bool allow

Called just before a unit is transferred to a different team, the boolean return value determines whether or not the transfer is permitted.

TODO:

Major

• Category:ShowCase template, main page, S44 & MCL as examples
• Category:Tutorial
• Continue to improve Lua:Callins - Fill in blank explanations
• Clickable / right-click copy paste-able anchors in {{tag}} et al
• Assimp build upon, metadata doc, split tutorial again >_>
• Cleanup old Category:Map_making into new Category:Map Dev

Minor

• Page on spring wiki etiquette (SpringWiki) / style guide & template usage (Mapdev:WikiGuide) /namespace conventions (Spring:PageNamingConventions) - pages are good already; put these in revamped community portal?
• Move all pages in Animation- to Animation:
• Continue to improve Gamedev:Main up to the high standard of Mapdev:Main

Undocumented Features

• cmdcolors.txt (c.f. GUI modifications in SVN)
• ctrlpanel.txt (c.f. as above)
• isolated mode (isolated.txt 99+ c.f. portable/isolation mode, Spring manpages)
