GScript <-> GScript2
I think that servers should be able to use both gscript and gscript2 on their server. Alot of the owners aren't going to want to rescript their entire systems, or stay using gscript alone. So why not make them backwards compatible or something?

GS2 is backwards-compatible. To my disapproval.

You must have missed the memo. As Kai stated, it's already backwards compatible.

Why is that? Are we losing functionality/efficiency from this? (I'm asking because I seriously don't know)

Because nobody should be mixing GS1 with GS2. I would prefer to see a system where the language used is specified in some kind of directive at the top (like '//#GS1' or so).

Oh, I see what you're getting at now. That'll definitely become something of a problem.

Are you saying client-side won't support GS2?

From what I've seen you shouldn't have much trouble moving from GS1 to GS2.

v3.1 and upwards will support GS2, but not v2. I'm assuming Stefan will allow use of the earlier versions for a while after the new generation is released.

Good bye.
Old gscript is deprecated, playerworlds will not want to hire people who can only develop in an outdated language.

It's backwards compatible, you can mix old and new scripting language, you can do stuff like
player.chat = "hello " @ #a;
As long as your server wants to support Graal v2, you will need to keep the client-side scripts in old scripting though. The only thing that is not compatible with old scripting engine right now is the use of things like "this.x" which is a simple variable in old engine, while it is redirecting to the x position of the current object/npc in the new engine, will need to check what i can do about that.

I heard that GScript2 is supposed to be easier.

And quitting just because you don't want to learn the new scripts is just arogance.

Which will be incredibly inferior to those that take full advantage of the great and dynamic strengths of object oriented NPCs!

You do not wish to learn? How sad.
