Better Console 1.3.1

A few improvements to the console.

On Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=173892495

Major features

• Console log is scrollable
  
• Console log no longer prints file/line number information (but log.txt still does)
  
• Console keeps focus when you'd expect it to
  
• Console doesn't close after each line entered
  
• Added basic CTRL+A select all support (hitting backspace after CTRL+A will delete all the text)
  
• Added support for multi-line inputs
  
• Many general useability improvements, bugs that have been fixed, and small but useful tweaks
  

Minor features (the rest)

• Console always runs the "consolecommands" script when it is opened (no more having to do RunScript("consolecommands"))
  
• Console log gets hidden whenever the console closes
  
• Console history ignores consecutive duplicate lines
  
• Console log and console input text is slightly smaller
  
• Console log has word wrap enabled
  
• Fixed console history not properly resetting when you move up through the history and then back down to the start
  
• Modified the c_select command so that it will set the debug entity to whatever is under the mouse if it is called with no parameter (default c_select requires a parameter)
  
• Added c_nextday() command as a shortcut for GetClock():MakeNextDay()
  
• Console will automatically print back the value of any variable you enter (for example, if you do "test = 1" and then just "test" it will print back "1")
  
• If you use "return" it will print back the value that is returned (for example, "return GetPlayer()" would print something like "100009 - wilson"); basically return can be used as somewhat of an alias of print
  
• Console prints back any command you give it with "> " prefixed in front of it
  
• Console has a transparent black background
  
• Console can print multiple return values
  
• Console will auto-execute console commands (example: "c_nextday" would translate to "return c_nextday()")
  
• If the first character of an inputted line is '=', then it will be translated to 'return ' (example: "=test" becomes "return test")
  
• Better, more informative error handling for inputted lines
  

Things that are not currently possible with Lua:

• Moving the text input cursor (for example, moving the cursor based on mouse clicks)
  
• Any sort of real text selection
  
• Copy/paste support
