Scripting on the server side?

<div class="IPBDescription">Will it be possible?</div>So, I know the scripting/modding on client side is done in Lua, but will we be able to script the server side?
I think we probably will, but how?
In NS1 you had to use AMX Mod X, what about NS2?

Anyone got information on this?

    Lua will fit for Server-Side and Client-Side.

    I think the idea of having LUA is to allow servers to send the clients updated script files. The files are generally small, so the mods download quickly and transparently. UW have mentioned that clients download new mods in-game. I'm not sure if this includes maps and new models, or just the gameplay LUA code.

    They have not said there will be client side LUA scripting (other than what is uploaded by the server).

    Well, here they seem to indicate it:

    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/2007/06/client_side_scripting_and_weapons" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/2007/06/c...ing_and_weapons</a>

    Although that was pretty old. At the very least it sounds like they want to have client scripting for modifications to the HUD.

    That blog post only talks about client-side LUA scripts uploaded by the <b>server</b>.

    That post is talking about Source engine. Things might have changed since then.
