added a simple thread for reporting changes to the fundamentals of SOMA scripting. Made this thread because I needed a place to report that writing string will no longer work, you need to use tstring, since there are likely other changes it makes more sense to let them pile up in their over time.
EDIT:

if this information is relevant for SOMA and is correct, it sounds like tstrings offer further optimization, but are limited to only short strings.
a test of mine also revealed that with tstrings, int to string convertion is easier. before you had to do it like this:
string AsString = "" + MyIntVar;
now it's:
tstring AsString = MyIntVar;
it's a small change that matters very little mostly, but for a beginner who does not know how to convert an int to string this will be the most obvious way of doing it, avoiding them having to go through the trouble I did.
