I did not post this in the Scripting section because Iam not asking help on how to make a npc or how to go about doing something npc/script related.
My topic was created to have a discussion on this well traveled npc that quite a few individuals claim as their own. Each of these npcs are an almost exact duplicate line for line. Only differences is the name of the functios and variables were changed, but are quite similar in meaning.
The NPC is a hat NPC currently on En of Ages. Sky showed it ETD and eric liked it so Sky let him use it. I saw the NPC and I was like wait a sec. I have seen this NPC before. I thought it was Providence. Providence is no longer around so i have no way of finding out.
Since I am a server hopper and visit nearly all playerworlds, private and public, I ran into a NPC with the same effect on EnigmaGraal. It was their wings NPC. Someone told me that the wings NPC has been there forever. I don't know if that is true because I have never spent a large portion of my time on EG.
A few days after this Sky told us he didn't make the hat npc and he added comments at the top saying the hat npc was made by him and Bhala. He said he did only the dropping part of the hat. Sky also said Bhala gave him full permission to use it wherever he likes.
All of this was months ago. I was very tempted to tell ETD to fire him since he hired him. I wouldn't fire him because for some reason in Graal when you fire someone's friend they tend to get there job back right away. So I didn't waste my time.
Now here is something funny.
Recently this guy named Rance Vicious sent in a npcfor his tryout. The npc he sent was a hat NPC. This NPC looked familiar. VERY FAMILIAR.
By golly it was pretty much the same hat npc. It was scripted the same way and almost an exact duplicate line for line. :/
Rance claims that SkyBlazer (Gambet) helped him to make this NPC and that it is not stolen. I talked with other EoA staff about this. Every individual I spoke to said I should hire him and give him some projects to do and then we will see from there.
At this point I'm pretty much sick of this. There is 1 other scripter here that I talked to ETD about that I feel is stealing scripts and claiming as his (Capn) own. Then the thing with Sky is a bit awkward in my opinion. Niether of these guys have done more than a handful of npcs in the 5 months or whatever they have been with us. So right now I'm pretty fed up with them.
Now they want me to hire this other dude.
I asked the guy to make me a new npc. On his NAT app he said he's good at making menus for shops, so i asked him to show me an example, and then he insists on upping the Hat npc to prove himself. X.x
Now my question is what do YOU ALL know about this NPC. I am sure many people have seen this one already. I would like to know who made it and everything.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post full scripts here. If it is I will, other than that I will only show in PM.
