gossamersolid 155 Posted February 8, 2013 If they aren't going to implement Java or another language, we need some more commands and abilities added to SQF. They added quite a bit between ArmA 1 and ArmA 2, I hope that trend continues. I'd love to see native support for database/ I/O without the need of external DLLs.

metalcraze 290 Posted February 8, 2013 Most importantly they shouldn't replace SQF with anything to retain compatibility. Would be great if Java was executed like it is for webpages and stuff, as a separate code/scripts that are called. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alwarren 2767 Posted February 8, 2013 Most importantly they shouldn't replace SQF with anything to retain compatibility. Would be great if Java was executed like it is for webpages and stuff, as a separate code/scripts that are called. Could still work via file extension/exec call. You could still run SQS files via "exec", and SQF via "execVM". Nothing would stop them from adding an "execLUA" or "execJVM" call to the fray, in fact, I do hope they do that. No point in replacing SQF because there's still a lot of stuff written in SQF that is very much relevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be great if Java was executed like it is for webpages and stuff, as a separate code/scripts that are called. Agreed, breaking backwards compatibility would be a ridiculous idea right now. Luckily: Note: this will not replace SQF scripting, so the transition should be smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted February 9, 2013 So is that Java implementation "in addition to"/supplementing SQF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddieck 10 Posted February 9, 2013 So is that Java implementation "in addition to"/supplementing SQF? That seems to have been their plan a year ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
