Question
I don't know if anyone was aware of this, but Stefan did make an NPC programming manual with Graal (like npcprogramming.doc) back in version 1.3, since there has been additions & changes to Graal since then, I was wondering if there's going to be another lease of this NPC programming manual.

IF this hasn't crossed anyone's mind, it would be helpful if server stuff & client information (like for bomy's) is included in this.

It was Fox, he just told me, so now I get the wonderful task of doing that while hiring and organizing 2 subteams...

I was just wondering when the next version was going to be released since the current one that I have isn't up to date & I'm not informed enough to make the addendums to it.

By releasing a new manual will help NPC scripters (like myself & others like me) can really use to make better NPC's & better playworld servers.

About 1/8th of the way done.

There are a LOT of commands to document.

Why write a guide to NPC scripting? Just go find a C++/Java tutorial and you're all set...

well, a ton of the major languages all include the basic graalscript elements, obvious if, for, and else. i would benefit a lot from a guide that focuses on advanced scripting not the basics. i mean come on, anyone can learn Gscript all from examples (mimicry is the easiest way to learn) but to make really cool things, you have to grasp the concepts of the limitations and powers of the language. anyone can learn the basic format, but to master its uses is what they need a guide for =)

I guess what im saying is, sure include all the commands, but why not include guides and examples to creating advanced scripts also?

You don't need a guide...you just need to pay attention, maybe get a GO level set, try to make things you see in games or on TV (easiest way to find out how far you can push GScript and learn some new commands) and just have a lot of time... I had a whole year...now I'm all busy and stuff >.<

Ya just hafta really want to learn it...well, not so much as have a goal in mind. Try to make something...and don't stop until you've done it, and made it better. And always be creative

I learned from 3 main factors
1) Bugging the **** out of people.
2) Editing NPCs premade
3) I knew small amounts of many scripting languages before I started graalscript and that seemed to help alot

Well besides Gscript I am learning Visual Basic through a school class, let me say that it is the easiest scripting language I have ever seen... I have made a few things with it, such as seizure inducing blinking screens!
