Scripting Support.
 

I think that is a very good idea and I hope it works out.

First. Why create this when the Global Scripting Team already exists? Are you not obviating their existence?

Second. http://www.bancomicsans.com/

Hmm, well, if you guys do decide to form a team, then i would definately like to be a part of it.

Well actually Rick is right, and if they need a little more help why not just have a tryout for 1-2 more members?

Well, personally, i think the GST could use about another one or two members. This idea is good, but, it really should be done by the experienced scripters. Like a weekly inspection, where the team members go from server to server and guide the scripters of that server into making less laggy/more organized scripts.

No, we are not. They will be helping us too, this idea was created by Stefan with the intention of help the community to build proper codes. It's better help people with documents and such instead of fix their scripts.

Comic Sans MS is my favorite font. :)

I think that this could be fun. Server hopping helping servers improve on there npc's. The only problem is that the team needs people who know what there doing and not people who still are beginners when it comes to scripting.

Maybe the GST and/or Stefan should pick the team?, not just random people.

If the GST go to every playerworld fixing the scripts nobody will learn anything, don't you think? The intention is help you learn by yourself.
I'm sure that Stefan would not agree with this project if the "random people" weren't skilled, also, we will be choosing the members, it's not just say "I want to be in".

Stefan did pick me and osrs, and we're not scripting beginners. Whereas the GST is there to advise people when scripting, our job is to help people learn to script from scratch, or to teach them new skills. We wont have the power to go round server hopping or so, were simply here to make documents so that people stop producing dodgy buggy script, or even worse, using other peoples work.

Then why is there a need for an official group? Why not just write these documents yourselves in collaboration without a useless title?

I had edited my post before you decided to quote it, because i relised that i had made a mistake. I meant the Scripting Support Team not the GST.

We don't have a title, we are just a group of scripters who Stefan asked to help people learn to script. The Scripting document that comes with Graal is now very out dated and our work is to create somthing of a replacement.

Why are you so worried Rick? Our intention is help.

Hey MS you can start by teaching me to script from scratch :)

Redundancy.

Pfft. I give it two weeks, max.

You're way too generous.

It's just something else to get noticed for =(

I think it's a good idea, but the GST should be doing this. They don't need to server hop and correct mistakes, but they should be able to handle making documents because that is part of why they're around.

(Wrong forum.)

This is not completely redundant. Yes, it overlaps a bit with what we have done before ([1], [2]), but if they can get ahold of some competent scripters that can focus on this one task, it is certainly going to be more productive sooner.

As pointed out, the GST does not have the time to teach scripting to everybody. Among more administrative tasks, yes, we do of course give advice on request or while reviewing or fixing a playerworld's problem. But unless you want a more or less complete halt of everything else, the GST is not able to do this team's job (although we will gladly provide help if neccessary).

I'm kind of wondering why I was not brought up to date on this until I get a random IM on my Private AIM asking if I would support them for GST, and then asked to read this forum x.x
But about working on documents. Perhaps if Stefan or unix gave us access to put up documents on the site or so, we'd actually have a bigger reason to. Not a horrible idea to have documents written, but I'd like to have some say and review before they are released. I've seen advanced scripters make efficiency mistakes (including myself at times), so it should be finalized and revised before released. Gotta run to class now, will say more later. Cya

This is just the beginning of some things about to take place. Myself, Osrs, and Polo are all working together on the project. And then if Stefan told me correctly we are going to do the same thing with Level Makers. Then possibly Graphics. Not totally sure yet. But as of right now we are looking for scriptors to help make the graal community more scripting literate. The GST is very busy as Loriel said. They have a lot of other things on their platter they have to do so it is not possible for them to do this. I hope some scriptors will step up to the task and try out. Contact either myself, Polo, or Osrs. All my contacts are in my sig.

Edit: All the documents that are created I believe are going to go through Stefan, Loriel, and Jagen. I am not sure yet. But they will be proofed before being released. I totally understand exactly what you are saying ProjectShifter.

I will help with the level making part of it ;) Email is in sig. I am currently helping Eden spruce up their levels because they have potential and I would be willing to do it for any server that looks like it has even just a little bit of potential.

It's pretty sad when you want to help people and all you get are negative comments.

We don't need your thoughts.

Not really, this is of interest of the whole community so I fail to see why this is the wrong place to post it.

I wanna learn how to script :(

When you actually help someone instead of just declaring the intent, you might get some credit. But at the moment, all we can comment on are our perceptions of your motives, which don't seem entirely altruistic.

I didn't express them for your benefit.

Your negativity benefits no one.

Indeed? And what is the purpose of your childish, confrontational whining?

I won't reply to your posts Kaimetsu, I don't really want to start a fight, so it's better I be quiet.

Once you have proven that you are of help, you will get far less negative comments.

To put it more clearly, some of us like Kaimetsu do not need your thoughts either, yet you keep expressing them on the forums.

It is only of interest to the scripting community.

What is the purpose of yours?

I think most of us agree that you behaviour matches what Kaimetsu said than his own.

At least use the reply button.

At least use the edit button..


As a matter of fact, it doesnt.

Hahaha. Donald, you have got to spend more time on these things. Maybe 'no but u r1!!' worked for you in kindergarten but the rules change as you get older. One day you'll need to change along with them.

And maybe one day you'll open your eyes.

Please understand how a thread works before making such suggestions.

This is not a matter of fact.

I am aware of how a thread works.


IT IS?!?!?! :rolleyes:
