Hello, I might answer when the thread is long ago dead ... but I still want to share my opinions. I think there is a big problem in CrystalSpace/CEL currently. I I mean ... you're right. XML scripting is awful. From my point of view, XML is not a language made to be edited by human beings. So *programming* in XML ? How can anyone do that ? I agree we have python. Great :) But ... The major problem with python is that it's a huge security hole if you intend to get the resources you're going to use from the network (read: from an untrusted server). There is currently no way to sandbox a python script (or if there is, it's well hidden). In those cases what can we use except XML scripting (which might not be an option if you can't stand XML) > Some ideas: > - Python [...] > - AngelScript [...] > - JavaScript [...] > - Something home-grown [...] So it's been a while now, but I tried to add support for Lua language into CrystalSpace / CEL. I made several attempts, all unsuccessful. Because this was my first attempt to use CrystalSpace in some way. So if anyone has more knoledge of CrystalSpace internals, please do something ! Well, about Lua <http://lua.org>. it's a very small language with a small standard library and that is implemented in ANSI C. it is made to be fast, small, easily embeddable, ... and it is often found in game engines. One thing that Lua does very well is sandboxing. It's very easy to remove the standard libraries (just put nil in the variables that usually hold the functions of the standard library) so the language is secure. Hoping someone will one day be able to do something about those issues. (I'm looking forward to see how the Apricot team addressed these issues, or perhaps they don't use network, which simplifies greatly the problem) Thanks for reading.
