(Older versions are attached to this post.)

Changelog
1.3.0

* Source code now on GitHub.
* A few minor bugfixes and documentation updates.

1.2.9

* Added full source code.

1.2.8

* Fixed a bug where the script state (such as activation counts, capacitors, and timer handles) of multiple scripts on the same object could get scrambled upon save/load. This changes the way all scripts store their state, and so may cause glitches in saved games made in earlier versions of NVScript, as saved script state will be lost.
* Fixed a bug with NVKeyringKey where the keyring would not be selected in inventory upon picking up a key.

1.2.7

* Fixed a bug with the ^ identifier used to refer to the closest object of a specified type not working if no minimum distance was specified.

1.2.6

* Added the following scripts to the Thief 1 / Gold module. (Note that they will only work when running NewDark):

* NVMapTrap
* NVCameraTrap
* NVShakePlayer

1.2.5

* Re-added the missing NVPhantomRenderInvisible and NVPhantomRenderType parameters to NVPhantomTrap. (These were accidentally removed in v.1.2.0.
* Added the ability to specify a specific trigger archetype for NVTrigOBB, and also added sending of messages to the triggering object. Finally, fixed a bug where the exit trigger functionality did not work correctly in System Shock 2.

1.2.4

* Various fixes.
* Fixed several bugs in NVSafeDoor
* The "source" target will now use the stim source for scripts activated via Send to Scripts receptrons.
* New script: NVAlertMessages
* New script: NVWatchMeTrap
* New script: NVWakePhysicsTrap
* Fixed a bug where NVConvEnhancer's StopFollowing action was not correctly removing links created by the Follow action.
* Fixed an error in the documentation for NVConvEnhancer.
* Added an option to disable player controls and an automatic return timer to NVCameraTrap.
* Added an option to modify an existing link to NVLinkBuilder.

1.2.3

* New script: NVJointControl
* NVConvEnhancer: Added SetQVar action.
* Fixed a bug in NVGenericScalarTrap which would make it never reach 0.00 in a property.
* Fixed several bugs in NVTrigQVar, including one where the " operator was not working, and one where quest variable lookup was not working for quest variables with names starting with the letter 'r'.
* Updated the documentation to reflect the fact that NVLinkBuilder supports multiple versions.

1.2.2

* Major overhaul of NVTrapSetQVar to allow the use of complex mathematical expressions in place of the numerical argument.
* Fixed a bug where NVTrigQVar might not work properly between reloads.
* Fixed a bug in a content-getting function used by NVInvAssembly, NVHolyH2OHack, NVSwapSword, and NVStackOrDropTrap, which ought to have been causing a crash, but wasn't for some reason.
* Added documentation for NVCameraTrap. Also updated it to better support SS2.

1.2.1 (bugfix release)

*
* Fixed a bug in NVRelayTrap where it would not fall back to <kbd>NVRelayDelayMax</kbd> if a specific maximum delay for on or off was not specified. The order is now: <kbd>NVRelayTrapOnDelayMax</kbd>, then <kbd>NVRelayTrapDelayMax</kbd>, and finally <kbd>NVRelayDelayMax</kbd>. The last variant will obviously not work with the multiple script feature.
* Added documentation for NVMachine.
* Fixed some errors in the documentation.
* Removed a debug message accidentally left in NVGenericScalarTrap.
* Fixed a bug in NVGenericScalarTrap which could make it go slightly above the max or slightly below the min before stopping.

1.2.0

*
* Implemented a new targeting system for the following scripts:

*
* NVMetaTrap
* NVDeleteTrap
* NVGibTrap
* NVParticleGroup
* NVPhantomTrap
* NVStackTrap
* NVSuspiciousTrap
* NVGenericScalarTrap
* NVGlowTrap
* NVWatchMe

* New script: NVGenericScalarTrap

*
* NVPhantomTrap and NVGlowTrap are now subtypes of this script.

* New script: NVWatchMe
* New script: NVVisibilityToQVar
* New script: NVTranslucentTextTrap
* New script: NVShakeStim
* Add difficulty levels and text colours to NVGhostingMessages.
* Added Renderer->Self Illumination feature to NVGlowTrap
* Added r operator to NVTrapSetQVar
* Added m operator and <kbd>NVTrigQVarAllowRepeats</kbd> param to NVTrigQVar
* Fixed a crash bug.

Thank you. All the enhancements look to be great!

The target feature should make things simpler.

NVShakePlayer seems very exciting (by the way it is named NVShakeStim at some places in the documentation by mistake).

Nameless Voice on 16/12/2010 at 20:51

As mentioned in the documentation, it's a copy of a script from SS2. It was used in the TAC mission "Falling Down" by TF.

(I fixed the typo, but I don't think it's worth re-uploading for.)

Haplo on 16/12/2010 at 20:55

Is it possible to directly control the duration of the shake too?

Nameless Voice on 16/12/2010 at 21:39

No, it's 6 shakes over the course of 250ms. You can send more stims if you want the effect to last longer.

Sliptip on 16/12/2010 at 21:58

Fantastic! Always happy to see an update :)

I just couldn't get by without these scripts!

Nameless Voice on 16/12/2010 at 22:32

I noticed that the new GenericScalar was somewhat inaccurate - with certain min/max/increment values, it could go slightly above the Max or slightly below the Min. The same problem was always present with PhantomTrap and GlowTrap, but didn't really matter in those cases.
It's a minor issue, but I've fixed it and updated the files in the first post.
For extra confusion, I don't think it's worth changing the version number for.

Next time you update the documentation, why not add that information? It would be good to have it documented with the script.
