The issues with 1.6 have been addressed and are in
testing. Thanks for the quick feedback.

Having trouble debugging your scripts? Tired of echoing
out garbage to the console? Well, you're in luck.
A couple months ago, I offered up the challenge to Tinman
to make a scripting language debugger for Tribes 2. About
a week later he finished a fully integrated remote debugger
in the Tribes 2 engine, complete with breakpoints, variable
watches and mouse-over variable support.
There were enough differences in the GUI code to prevent us
from easily including the client side of the debugger
into T1, but it was easy to integrate the server
code back in.
Below I've included the debugger protocol - hopefully some
resourceful programmer out there will whip out a Win32 client
over the weekend in time for the release next week. :)
(Note, variable breakpoints aren't implemented in T1.)
// call this in tribes to enable the debugger.
// debuggerPort is the port the debugger connects to.
dbgSetParams(debuggerPort, debuggerPassword);
// when you connect the debugger sends:
SENDPASS
// send across the password followed by a newline
// once connected and authorized, the debugger accepts the following commands
// all commands should be terminated by
or
// all output is single-line terminated by
// 'CEVAL console line' evaluate the console line
// output: none
// 'BRKVARSET varName passct expr' set a breakpoint on a variable
// output: none
// 'BRKVARCLR varName' clear a variable breakpoint
// output: none
// 'BRKSET file line clear passct expr' set a breakpoint on the file,line
// expr must evaluate true 'passct' times for it to break and if 'clear' is true, it
// clear the breakpoint when hit
// output: none
// 'BRKCLR file line' clear a breakpoint on the file,line
// output: none
// 'BRKCLRALL' clear all breakpoints
// output: none
// 'CONTINUE' continue execution
// output: 'RUNNING'
// 'STEPIN' run until next statement
// output: 'RUNNING'
// 'STEPOVER' run until next break <= current frame
// output: 'RUNNING'
// 'STEPOUT' run until next break <= current frame - 1
// output: 'RUNNING'
// 'EVAL tag frame expr' evaluate the expr in the console, on the frame'th stack frame
// output: 'EVALOUT tag exprResult'
// 'FILELIST' list script files loaded
// output: 'FILELISTOUT file1 file2 file3 file4 ...'
// 'BREAKLIST file' get a list of breakpoint-able lines in the file
// output: 'BREAKLISTOUT file skipBreakPairs skiplinecount breaklinecount skiplinecount breaklinecount ...'
//
// other output:
//
// when the debugger hits a breakpoint, it lists out:
// 'BREAK file1 line1 fn1 file2 line2 fn2 file3 line3 fn3 file4 line4 fn4 etc.'
// where file1 line1 fn1 ... etc is the current call stack.
// 'COUT output' output has been echoed to the console

And special thanks to Diane Lee and Wasif Azmat who sent the Tribes
team 5 cases of Mirror Pond Pale Ale... can you say Beta application
accepted? :)
