cecho() to a miniConsole

[Phoenix]

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

cecho("This <green:red>text<light_gray:black> is sent to the says miniConsole.", nil, nil, false, "chatSays")

Why does this not go to the chatSays miniconsole? This code clears that console just fine:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

clearUserWindow("chatSays")

Nevermind, I got it.

cecho([windowname, ] text)

Not sure about the rest of the arguments the manual claims it has, but this is how to send it to a window.

The manual is really out of date. Cecho used to use all those arguments, but I changed it to make it simpler and use the same pattern of arguments as echo.

The manual is really out of date. Cecho used to use all those arguments, but I changed it to make it simpler and use the same pattern of arguments as echo.

To this end, I propose that we look for a lua implementation of javadoc and ... implement it. This way we can at least maintain a fully up-to-date API, and we can do it on the client side.

I'll see about replacing the API section of the manual with the luadoc one that lex did. Doesn't help it if heiko is too busy to update it and I don't have access, though. (but I did forget to update cecho - will get to that today)

I have no issues with this, and never did even with only 512MB of RAM.
