[Bf-committers] BGE 2.49 external python modules...

[Natanael Olaiz]

Wow, RT editing while the engine is running: amazing. :)

Thank you very much!!


BTW, I want to ask a question: how difficult do you think that could 
make the API able to manage the logic connections? As I said, I found 
the external scripting so useful to script based on SVN revisions (so, 
now I can do diffs/merges/etc directly)... but the connections are still 
a problem in that sense, since there are only in the binary .blend files..


Best regards,
Natanael.
