What post is that responding to?

The one above it. Inverness'.

In that case, it is a pretty bad reason.

There is a downside, and that is that some people don't want their scripts on other servers. It won't happen, anyway.

Why do you think that? If we work together to script something and it's released for Graal as a whole, posting the code only helps people learn. If we script a server and release the code, we're only providing copy/paste systems.

Agreed. Seems stupid. :S

Such an ignorant thought. You'd think developers on Graal had kind of gotten over that kind of thing and started aiming for something bigger, like improving the quality and amount of decent servers around. This certainly isn't helping anything. The actual downside would be people using these public scripts to apply for staff jobs, but that could happen even now with the Code Gallery and it hasn't been an issue so far.

The former takes time, while the latter saves time in most cases. What is the point in 50-odd playerworlds all scripting the same generic systems (most of the time) when they could be focusing on their server-specific scripting.

Screw those people. They will get over it.

I agree with what you said, and in addition, learning from openly available scripts that are actually useful for a playerworld is going to be worth more than learning from random gimmick scripts. :)

That's just completely opposite of the entire purpose of providing scripts to help people learn. People already copy and paste examples, and you're saying that they should be able to have a copy and paste server? You know as well as any other that if you provide a newbie scripter with completed code, they aren't going to bother to learn what the code does.

A project like this would (a) provide examples of coding techniques and (b) provide a useful, extra feature to the Graal client. What's so bad about that? If you think providing baddy scripts is useful, then go ahead and do it. Why say that something like this shouldn't happen just because it doesn't provide any core server systems?

When I script something for a server, I don't want it to be released publicly. If I did, I would post it in the Code Gallery.

Who is being hurt by people copy&pasting code? Being able to start up a server on the fundament of well-tested scripts is a good thing.

I am somewhat doubtful about "(b)". I am not sure what kind of Graal client you are running, but my one is limited to a single window and sluggish ugly pseudowindows and unable to communicate with any of my other applications or store data in my home directory.

I am not saying you do not get to run your pet project, I am just saying your time would be better spent elsewhere.

Apologies, I didn't know this "community scripting project" was to help people learn.

Congratulations on being a selfish ****. Graal is short enough on good scripters that they being reclusive and wishing each other to fail is not going to make anyone happy.

It wasn't until I suggested it...
