Hey look! now im not gonna help you learn how to scirpt.. in fact, go to hell

...a conversion that has taken a total duration of almost a year now. It's pathetic.

The speed is pathetic, you mean? Not really. There's a lot of work, and they seem to be trying to do it properly (unlike most online playerworlds ¬_¬).

Yes, it has taken far too much time. And yes, there is a lot of work, but if there were more people actually working, it would have been done by now. Com and Jeff were the only two doing anything for a while. Then Com hired some new people back in February. Of those people hired, I think I was the only scripter. So far, I've been the only one who has actually stayed with it and done the work. Even I haven't done much, as I've been doing quite a bit for the clientside only Classic server as well. Soul appears to have taken over the administrating of the LAT now. He just got through a hiring, and we'll be reviewing applications soon. Hopefully this will give us some new scripters that will actually HELP. Oh well... only time will tell. (...yet more time...)

Maybe I shouldn't have posted this here, as it doesn't really belong with the topic. :(

Selling it should.

Not realistic.

I already indicated my willingness to help, but it'd be convenient if I had some applicable rights on Classic Dev to fascilitate this (e.g. rw to the weapons for which I am to convert, so I can add them myself for easier transferrence, and verification that they work properly. With NC Rights, I do not think this should be an issue).

(Also, why in the world would you attempt/hope to gain scripters from Levels Team? That seems rather foolish, if you ask me.)

Once upon a time there was no such thing as NATs or GATs, it was all one general category, LATs, and classic has continued this tradition

Tradition is no excuse for foolishness.

A

Levels
Administration
Team

is just that.

On non-npcserver servers you had to insert NPCs into levels by editing them, there was no such thing as NC with a weapons database where you can directly insert weapons or an NPC list where you directly insert NPCs into them without editing, the name does make some sense if you look at it that way

That may explain "scripts", but it does not explain graphics. And, the question is still begged about why levels people would be doing major scripting.

Aside from all of that, my question related to why a levels administration team was dealing with scripting for an NPC-Server. :)

Well, Soul can't even give people rights on Dev, as he doesn't even have the rights himself. Tyhm has yet to give them. (He says he can't, but Stefan checked his rights and told me he could...) When Soul has the rights, I'll let you know when you can come and help.

Btw, don't you have 2001 to work on? When are you going to find the time for Classic?

I've got an internet-less 3 hour break twice a week in which I am very bored, and several smaller ones also internet-less. I can convert a few scripts at a time.

I also have bored nights+weekends, and a willingness to help out where I can.

And to answer the inevitable question - correct, I do have no life.

That's ok, I don't have one either. ;)

And as I said, I'll see about getting you rights whenever I can. I'll forum PM you or something when you have them.

Wrong. You can use any letter, as long it isn't used (x,y,z).
I,j,k,l etc. is for compability with Java and C++, just like == is.
Also, this. variables can be used to.
