VBScript andJavaScript , as well as the, since November2004 implemented, platform-independent Lua-scripting. The scripting is performed via a series of built-in script-functions combined with the standard scripting operators. These can be executed either via one global scripting-language selected in the client or by adding language-independent plugins.In June
2007 Internationalisation support was added, enabling the players to customise the messages and menus be displayed in the desired language.Interportability
