Scripting Support.

osrs · #1 09-12-2004, 11:39 PM

We have been discussing on Graal2002 Debug server and have noticed that the quality of the scripting on playerworlds is pretty bad, there are exceptions, of course, but it would be very interesting if every playerworld could produce a proper quality of scripting. This way, it would reduce the lag and the playing would be much better. After discussing for some time, we have decided to get a team of skilled scripters wich will be producing some documents and codes with the deal of helping the whole community. The current team consists of myself and Master Storm (Manager of Classic Graal), and the Global Scripting Team will be supporting us too. This is an official decision, you can be sure that we will be doing our best to help you improve your abilities and of course it will help your playerworld.

How to help:

If you are really interested, contact us and show your work. It must be uploaded in some playerworld, we won't be receiving e-mails with codes or things like that. The only way for trying out is contacting the team and telling the member to see your work at a specified playerworld.

Note: This is not a global job, you won't get any special rights for being in the team.

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?

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.

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.

Rick · #11 09-13-2004, 01:24 AM

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.
