Only with things supported by GS1. I still haven't taken the time to learn some of the newer, more advanced GS2 commands (though i suppose that's my fault), but the point is great with GS1 is mediocre with GS2.

Falco, programming isn't about learning commands. It's a way of thinking.

You still need to learn commands, you can't program by just having a mindset that is good for programming.

Yes, which is why I said: "It just takes a little while to adjust".

If someone suddenly becomes medeocre when switching to GS2, I doubt they were originally great. I would go as far to say that the actual scripting process when dealing with GS2 is not greatly different at all to scripting in GS1.

To respond to both of you, my main point is basically just saying that even after adjusting for the different commands, well, 5/10 is less than 5/6.

Congratulations. Do you have anything meaningful to say?

in GS2, the commands aren't so much different.
Basically it's the same thing only everything is in function format(which is good because that will make scripts run smoother and faster). For example:
hide;
is now
hide();

something like:
tokenize #c;
is now
tokenize(#c);

there are differences with setplayer prop and setcharprop though:
setplayerprop #c,bla;
would now be
player.chat=bla;
or
player.#c=bla; (if I'm not mistaken)

How is that change likely to make scripts run smoother and faster?

Yes, I agree. How would turning all the GS1 commands into functions have an effect on the speed and quality?

I'm sorry that you were unable to make the connection. The 5/6 represents someone who knows how to do about 5 sixths of the possible things for gs1. When converting to gs2, even if they learn all the new version of the commands right away, since there is much more that you can do, the five tenths is represented, the ten being there instead of a six, showing that gs2 has much more that you can do. Never call me a *****/fool/someone with low intelligience again if you cannot make such a simple connection.

I'm sorry that you haven't yet shaken your arrogance. You assume that I dismissed your little number comparison because I didn't understand it, when in reality it was because it had no value. We are talking about skill, not knowledge. And there is nothing in GS2 that would take a skilled scripter more than a few hours to pick up.

First, my looking down upon you is just that, looking down on you. I was in no way being arrogant.

Second, considering the lack of explanation in the documents, it would so take a while to learn some of the new things, like gui scripts and such (took me a couple hours and MANY examples to make most of the connections necessary, and i usually learn commands quickly, though this may have been due to lack of documentation), and I'm sure there are many more. Thusly, my comparison did so have value.

You had made assumptions about my perceptions, apparently convincing yourself that your expression was more clever than it was. You did this all in the interests of putting yourself above me, like the buffoon that you continue to be.

Proportions aside, it had already been stated that a period of adjustment would be necessary. You did not add anything to the discussion.

No, I said it in a way that was meant to say "Hypocrite", not "I r better than u!".

I said a skilled scripter.

And I'm arrogant?

It's called a metaphor, it isn't meant to add, it's meant to explain.
