The Inner Space console provides a method of executing commands similar to first-person shooter consoles, but in a style similar to standard command shells (e.g. DOS or Linux shells). It takes only a moment to learn, and provides access to all of Inner Space's features.  The system used is called LavishScript.  See [[LavishScript:Syntax|LavishScript Syntax]] for a complete technical reference of entering commands via LavishScript.

Inner Space provides a system of "binds" that allow you to "bind" a key combination to an action.  This could be remapping one key to another directly, running a script, sending commands to other sessions, or literally anything that can be done through Inner Space commands.  Even the key to bring up the console uses a bind, and can be configured using the [[ISKernel:Bind (Command)|Bind command]].

== Global Binds (global hotkeys) ==

Global binds are just like regular binds, but perform an action in a given session when the key combination is pressed, no matter what you are doing on your computer.  For example, the key combination Ctrl+Alt+1 will bring up the first Inner Space session immediately, regardless of what you are doing at the time, or what window is currently in the foreground.  This is done using a global bind, and can be configured using the [[ISKernel:GlobalBind (Command)|GlobalBind command]].

Inner Space extensions are programs created with the Inner Space Extension Development Kit ([[ISXDK]]).  Extensions can do pretty much anything, from adding game-specific scripting functionality to interacting with other programs or adding UI elements to the game or Inner Space itself.  Inner Space extensions (and scripts) can be found at [http://www.ismods.com ISMods], and are generally documented in the [http://www.ismods.com/wiki ISMods Wiki].

The Lavish Graphical User Interface (LGUI) is a complete user interface system for use inside games.  The UI is defined in one or more XML files, each of which can be loaded independently.  Each XML file contains a list of top-level UI elements (usually windows).  See [[LavishGUI]] for full LGUI usage information.  Types of LGUI elements can be created through extensions using the [[ISXDK]].

Introduction

An Inner Space session is created by running your game via the Uplink.

LavishScript Extensions

Inner Space adds various commands, objects, and data types to the LavishScript language. The following are additions solely from sessions. Because sessions also use the Inner Space Kernel, all additions from the Kernel are also available in sessions (and the uplink too).

Session Specific Commands

File System

Redirect game's file i/o from one file to another (for example, make a game use USER1.DAT instead of USER.DAT)
Redirect game's .ini file i/o from one file to another and/or one section to another and/or one value to another (for example, use an alternate setting or alternate .ini file)

Inter-process (uplink and other sessions)

Execute a command on the uplink, such as Name or Relay

Video Capture

Begins video capture
Ends video capture

Session Specific Top-Level Objects

Inter-Process
