The command message parser was revamped. The two goals were to simplify add-on command messages and to simplify automatic generation of command messages.

  • There is now a special syntax to address a message to a particular add-on (foo: command). This was done in the hope that new add-ons will accept that format. Recent PDK versions contain a function that simplifies the implementation of such parsers.
  • There is no longer a line length limit. This only gets in the way when programs write messages.
  • You can write long commands yourself by continuing them on the next line, starting with a "+" sign.
  • Some commands can be externalized.

These features is also available in PHost 3.4b (externalization: 3.4d).

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
