Hey Paul, I was looking back around the forums and saw a post about making a groovy-shell to program a mod in Java. I have done some searches up on google about how to do this, but I have not found a method at all.. I was going to ask you to spare a little bit of your time to give me an example of how this would be processed, but if it isn't worth it (since the new API is coming soon), please tell me at least that.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Sorry, I wrote that post when I was tired, and that I only had 3 hours of sleep..

I remember a previous talk about doing this, the talk was also included a tiny bit in nh_99's Battle Mod, that you can program a Mythruna mod in Java, but first you need to make a shell in groovy to program the rest in java..

Ok.  "Groovy shell" means something specific to me that has nothing to do with what you are asking... so I'm glad I didn't respond before.

Groovy can call Java code.  So you can use any Java class you want from the groovy scripts that Mythruna uses.  I think you just have to package up the Java .classes in a .jar that you put in a lib subdirectory or something under where the scripts run.  You might just be able to put the .jar in the same directory as the scripts, I can't remember.

any example on this? google isn't my friend right now..

I'd have to research and create an example and I don't have time for that right now.
