Module diff
Lua bindings to apply/remove Universe Diffs.
Universe Diffs are patches you can apply to the universe to make permanent changes. They are defined in dat/unidiff.xml.
Typical usage would be:
diff.apply( "collective_dead" )
Functions
| apply (name) | Applies a diff by name. |
| remove (name) | Removes a diff by name. |
| isApplied (name) | Checks to see if a diff is currently applied. |
Functions
- apply (name)
-
Applies a diff by name.
If your diff modifies a Spob or a system, the safe lanes will be re-computed just after it is applied, causing the game to freeze for a short time. As a result, prefer not to apply a diff when the player is in space.
Parameters:
- name string Name of the diff to apply.
- remove (name)
-
Removes a diff by name.
Parameters:
- name string Name of the diff to remove.
- isApplied (name)
-
Checks to see if a diff is currently applied.
Parameters:
- name string Name of the diff to check.
Returns:
-
boolean
true if diff is applied, false if it isn't.
