Gs1 to Gs2 Converter

PrinceOfKenshin · #1 08-28-2007, 01:21 PM

I am going to work on a program that you put the gs1 script in then press a button and it converts to gs2. I just need a good NAT to help me with what converts to what. I know most of it, just might need some help. I figure this will help people stay updated with scripting. Also it might help teach people gs2. If you want to help just contact me.

It's not really worth the time in my opinion. It makes more sense to actually learn GScript2, and the problem is that there are many things that work completely differently in the new engine. Handling of variables is one thing, things like public and object functions, etc.

I could be interested ;o
But I agree with Skyld tho..

Just converting doesn't really do it all the time...I mean a lot of the things when converted would also have to be improved a lot, as GS2 offers more effective ways of scripting.

Good luck with it, though.

Yes i know i thought about that. Hmm maybe if i made a error code in the program. So that it works like on RC. Or even make it so that it can give the other options of the script. I'm going to try to figure a way around this problem

Bad idea

.
GS1 to GS2 is often like Japanese to English in many cases.

No, we don't any converter for lazy people who don't want to learn GS2. There should not be anyone scripting in GS1 in the first place. I'll fire any NAT that uses a converter if I have the power to do it.

Awesome example

I'm somehow against it too, though I'm only against using it. You should code it, it will help you learn.

Meanie i just wanted to help. I know personally Atrius still has a lot of scripts in gs1. It wasn't really going to be mean't to teach. I mean't it might help some people.

Help what kind of people though? Why would you want to convert a script from GS1 to GS2 if you are not a scripter? If you are a scripter and want to do that, learn GS2.

Maybe for scripters that know GS2, and can convert GS1 to GS2, but there are MANY scripts or lines (in he script). This would help them convert it.

It would be useful for LAT's and such for converting simple light/door scripts in such in levels, without having to bug NAT's to do such simple tasks.

If it would be a pretty long script, a converter would **** it up even more.

Well no need to argue i'm not making seeing how not many people think it will be useful. Besides it would be hard seeing how Gs2 has a lot of different things from gs1.
