[WireSVN] 2200 Multiple Files in lua: Cleanup, fixes and changes.

[Grocel]

Changes:

- Updated gmod version check and the hard-coded revisions number that Wire_PrintVersion shows.
lua/autorun/Wire_Load.lua
weapons/gmod_tool/stools/wire.lua
lua/wire/UpdateCheck.lua

- Put the SWEPs and ENTs to here own wiremod Category.
lua/entities/gmod_wire_hoverdrivecontroler/shared.lua
lua/entities/sent_deployableballoons/shared.lua
lua/weapons/RemoteController/shared.lua
weapons/laserPointer/shared.lua





- Added a play and a stop buttons to the sound emitter stool, so you can play the sound to try the sound without making a sound emitter or open the sound browser. The save system of the browser was also changed, the sound emitter has his own saving now. The sound browser open the parent folder of the sound set in the sound emitter, when you open it via the stool.
lua/wire/client/sound_browser.lua
lua/wire/stools/display.lua




- Changed the unit converting system to fit with the latest tf2 engine of gmod. The length and speed units are changed from 1 source unit = 1 inch to 1 source unit = 0.75 inches. A source unit isn't 1 inch long, it's 0.75 inches long. Also added u (source unit, default length unit), u/s (default speed unit), u/m and u/h to the e2 unit converter.

Good work. :winner:

Isn't that last one going to break almost all existing uses of unit conversion?

Hmm, I think no, because it seem be not used often, the only use is to show you something on a screen in a another unit that inches or source units. E2 that uses some advanced physic stuff like applyForce() always took source units and source units are the same than before the patch and something like E:vel() or V:length() always returned the speed or the length in source units/s or source units.
And even if some thing brake then you can fix it easily.

I don't know if it's such a great idea to change unit conversion. For me, it's fine, but it might not be for other people.

[Drunkie]

I don't think changing the unit conversion will seriously affect any contraptions and if it does its not hard to fix.

If that was fixed it would fuck up a lot of contraptions, but your more than welcome to fix it.

The units that the holos uses are the same then before, the source units wasn't never equal to to inches (I think). The worst things with holos that may can happen is that they that uses values from toUnit, fromUnit or convertUnit are getting smaller or bigger, the only functions of the e2 that are changed are toUnit, fromUnit or convertUnit (just indirect). More complex stuff usually uses the default unit of source that got mistaken with inches.

[Tolyzor]

I agree with updating the unit conversion. Imo its not used very often (partly cos everyone knows they are wrong) and where it is used, its often just for displaying to the user (for example speedometers).
