 To use a global script, the script must have a name which begins with `gl` and contains a procedure called `start`, `map_enter_p_proc`, `map_exit_p_proc`, or `map_update_p_proc`. The `start` procedure will be executed once when the player loads a saved game or starts a new game. The `map_*_p_proc` procedures will be executed once when a map is being entered/left/updated. If you wish the script to be executed repeatedly, call `set_global_script_repeat` on the first run of the `start` procedure using the number of frames between each run as the argument (0 disables the script, 1 runs it every frame, 2 runs it every other frame, etc.).
 
-Global scripts have multiple modes, which can be set using the `set_global_script_type` function. In the default mode (i.e. mode 0) their execution is linked to the local map game loop, so the script will not run in dialogs or on the world map. In mode 1 their execution is linked to the player input, and so they will run whenever the mouse cursor is visible on screen, including the world map, character dialogs, etc. In mode 2, execution is linked to the world map loop, so the script will only be executed on the world map and not on the local map or in any dialog windows. Mode 3 is a combination of modes 0 and 2, so scripts will be executed on both local maps and the world map, but not in dialog windows.\

 The `get_unspent_ap_bonus` and `set_unspent_ap_bonus` alter the AC bonus you receive per unused action point at the end of your turn in combat. To allow for fractional values, the value given if divided by 4. (Hence the default value is 4 and not 1.) The `get_unspent_ap_perk_bonus` and `set_unspent_ap_perk_bonus` are similar, but affect the extra AC granted by the HtH Evade perk. (The default value of this is also 4, equivalent to doubling the original bonus.)
 
-The `nb_*` functions are reserved for the brotherhood tactical training mod, and should be avoided.
-
 The `fs_*` functions are used to manipulate a virtual file system. Files saved here should have paths relative to the data folder, and use backslashes as the directory separator. They will take precedence over files stored in the normal data folder. They will also be saved into save games if you set a flag for them using `fs_resize(fileId, -1)`, so be avoid creating large files. Using `fs_copy` followed by `fs_read_xxx`, you can read the contents of existing files.
 
 The `get_proto_data` and `set_proto_data` are used to manipulate the in memory copies of the **.pro** files Fallout makes when they are loaded. The offset refers to the offset in memory from the start of the proto to the element you are reading. Changes are not stored on disc, and are not permanent. If you modify the protos, and then Fallout subsequently reloads the file your changes will be lost.
 
 The `list_xxx` functions can be used to loop over all items on a map. `list_begin` takes an argument telling sfall what you want to list (defined in **sfall.h**). It returns a list pointer, which you iterate through with `list_next`. Finally, when you've finished with the list use `list_end` on it. Not calling `list_end` will result in a memory leak. Alternatively, use `list_as_array` to get the whole list at once as a temp array variable, which can be looped over using `len_array` and which you don't need to remember to free afterwards.
 
 The `play_sfall_sound` and `stop_sfall_sound` are used to play **mp3/wav/wma** files. The path given is relative to the Fallout folder. Specify mode as 1 to loop the file continuously, 2 to replace the current background game music with playing the specified file in loop mode, or 0 to play the file once. If you don't wish to loop, `play_sfall_sound` returns 0. If you do loop, it returns an ID which can be passed back to `stop_sfall_sound` when you want to stop the effect. All sounds effects will be stopped on game reload, looping or not. These functions do not require **AllowDShowSound** to be set to 1 in **ddraw.ini**.

 Arrays are created and manipulated with the `xxx_array` functions. An array must first be created with `create_array` or `temp_array`, specifying how many data elements the array can hold. You can store any of ints, floats and strings in an array, and can mix all 3 in a single array. The ID returned by `create_array` or `temp_array` can then be used with the other array functions. Arrays are shared between all scripts. (i.e. you can call `create_array` from one script, and then use the returned ID from another script.) They are also saved across savegames. Arrays created with `temp_array` will be automatically freed at the end of the frame. These functions are safe, in that supplying a bad ID or trying to access out of range elements will not crash the script. `create_array` is the only function that returns a permanent array, all other functions which return arrays (`string_split`, `list_as_array`, etc,) all return temp arrays. You can use `fix_array` to make a temp array permanent.\
 __NOTE:__ refer to **arrays.md** for detailed description of the array behavior and function usage.
