Gs1 to Gs2 Converter - Page 2

Just make it and post questions on the scripting forum if you run into problems?

I don't people using GS1 and converting it to GS2 automatically to get by. Either learn GS2 or don't script.

That is my opinion.

Yes it would be good for converting all those old scripts to new engine, but I don't want people relying on that. Oh well, I suppose I'll just test them to make sure they don't use a converter.

You don't HAVE to use it, either take the easy route or do it yourself.

And the hell are you? He didn't ask for your permission, he asked for help if you don't want to help don't waste time.

Personally I don't think it is really that important to do a mass conversion of GS1 syntax to GS2. A well written GS1 script is better than a buggy GS2 script, and there are more important things to care about:
- don't put huge scripts into levels, use classes instead
- don't use .graal levels anymore
- avoid scripts that do everything, better split things to easier understand and control it
- avoid tons of duplications of the same script, better use reusable functions and classes

If done correctly then there are no big problem of GS1-GS2 collisions: in the editor you can use GS1 for small things or for "join classname;", on the server you then write the logic using classes and db npcs.

Inverness, you made the same typo twice in this thread in two different posts. ("I don't people" and "No, we don't any converter")
:P

That'd would be the smart thing to do. It's quite handy to have if it isn't that buggy. For instance, N-Pulse was waiting to be converted to gs2 for a long time.. Instead of running around and whining for the server to be converted, wouldn't you think this tool would come as a relief to the staff? (again, if it wasn't buggy).

What was the point of those o_O

They were what Graal used before .nw files came along. They weren't text files like .nw files are, so you can't open them with notepad and edit them. NW files didn't come around until G2k1 was released, and they were, I believe made specifically for New World... but since that flopped, G2k1 adopted them.
