...why am I thinking "Quentin Tarantino"...?

The GraphicsClient base class has the virtual method clbkSaveSurfaceToImage (SURFHANDLE surf, const char *fname, ImageFileFormat fmt, float quality=0.7f) Most Graphic Clients should have implemented it, so code like this is used: gclient->clbkSaveSurfaceToImage (0, "Images\\CurrentState"...

"Jealous Smiley" (if that exists) ;)

Nice work! But I think the Logo of the "Belgium-Syldavian-Space-Agency" should look more like this :p

As far as I know it didn't have "legs" in a traditional way (intentionally): So should have tipped over, but not that way ;) See also:

I have no definitive answer here, but for the readscenario_nextline(scn) function all you need is a valid "scn" file handle. Same goes for the writescenario_xxx(scn,item,value) functions. So once you got that they work! I do not know if the callbacks, that provide that handle, are implemented to...

@jarmonik : Couldn't it be decided in D3D9Client.cpp at runtime with something like this? bool D3D9Client::clbkInitialise() { // ... g_pD3DObject = OapiExtension::RunsUnderWINE() ? Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION) : Direct3DCreate9On12(D3D_SDK_VERSION, &args, 1)...

This seems to be a Linux issue, which I am not able to help much as I am a Windows guy :D Is this maybe related / the same issue ?

That's the one you should run (even in the 32-bit version). Only Orbiter_NG (Next Generation ;) ) will allow you to select Graphic Clients.

Hmmm, might be that D3D9Client is not available for the 32-bit builds

One select-box further up! Called "Graphics engine:"

On github page (https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter) select "Releases" (at the right side), then under "Assets". For your 32-bit needs this direct link should always work: https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/releases/download/latest/Orbiter-x86.zip

Are you sure you've selected "the same" D3D9Client? Which is included in OpenOrbiter

@Thunder Chicken : The PR has been merged. So you can now enjoy the new Lua functions by downloading the latest build. Changes: added following file i/ofunctions to Lua interface: openfile(fname,mode,root) closefile(fname,mode) savescenario(name,descr) writeline(f,line)...

Update: PR for "the rest" has been requested to merge. ...after a very very very undelightful fight between me and the CI tests ;) ...One could argue, that without tests it would have been ready to merg a week earlier :D https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/pull/414

As far as I can remember (long time ago) the Markers have been incorporated into the binary, packed, "Archive" structure in the Textures Folder (for example .\Textures\Earth\Archive\Label.tree) This has to do with performance considerations as reading those Text-files is not the fastest way to...

Ah those good old days :D ... But still currently it seems that even building it locally is something I'm unable to do 😭

That's exactly what is not being "collected" by ...is it CMake, Ninja, somethingelse... I guess this is something that currently is broken - at least for "native" Windows developers, using the Visual Studio built-in CMake/Ninja/whatever-Toolchain It is however not a thing that should be accepted...

For all that Versions of Orbiter: No, there isn't a Lua function. And there never will be, as old Versions are ....old ;) For C++ this API Function has been available for ages (I even believe it is ABI compatible all the way) For Lua this might be different: Orbiter 2010: No, not at all Orbiter...
