    Some time ago, during an ongoing development, I was able to make some changes to the con file while TpF2 was running. All I had to do was rebuild the construction or update an existing one by changing a setting parameter. Now I have to reload the game for the slightest change. I am running a new clean game with only the necessary mods required for the mod that I am developing.


    Is there something that has changed in the game engine (last game updates) or is it a setting that I managed to change without knowing?

    :/

    LUA Con files do get a reload call according my debug code for disabling the reload functionality.

    So a simple con updateScript should work, I did test a asset con file and can see a reload happen if fastdebug mode is off. (Simple changing a print statement and it worked).


    If you use *.script files accessed by new modules/constructions via postRunFn, these won't get any reload.

    Neither my debug code got a call, nor changing something has an effect on reload behavior. Even if you remove game.res.script[<entryname>], TPF2 won't reload but will create an assert.



    Technical there is a thing I would call Script Repository . (Different to Game Script Repository) These will load all *.script files, then this will get passed to ConstructionRep and has their own lua State.


    Actually there a two copies for the script repo. The other one is used for soundsets...
