YSI
General Information
- installation
- troubleshooting
- YSI_COMPATIBILTY_MODE
- Information on the more consistent YSI syntax ("annotations")
Libraries
The libraries are split up approximately by usage. Each one is included by group and name, so to include y_va, which is in Coding use:
#include <YSI_Coding\y_va>Although YSI provides a lot of libraries, they aren't included unless you include them. So if you don't want y_zonepulse just don't include it and it won't appear in your mode at all. This means YSI can contain a lot of functions, but they're all optional.
Coding
PAWN scripting improvements (i.e. new language features).
Core

Libraries that have in-game visible effects.
What Does YSI Stand For?
No-one actually knows! The original idea was "Y_Less' Server Includes", but "Script" and "Server" were frequently intermixed, and there are more devs than just Y_Less now, so the "Y" just became a recursive acronym for "YSI". There are now several official meanings, each incorporating different aspects of YSI:
YSI Script Includes
Core libraries.
YSI Scripting Improvements
Coding libraries (pawn language extensions).
YSI Server Includes
Game related stuff (commands, properties, text etc).
YSI Script Incidentals
Extras, like login and commands.
YSI Seriously Incomprehensible
The macros (though in their defense, writing macros to do the parsing within the compiler limitations is VERY hard).
YSI Stupid Includes
y_tho.
