Why does GS2 not function with the current offline editor?

[Raeiphon]

I left a year ago expecting such features when I came back.

It's the same as it was when I left. Whatever happened to GS2 support for the offline level editor? It's goddamn impossible to practice GS2 in an environment where you're unable to compile a script to test it's effect and see the results

Maybe you crazy people are used to learning like that. I'm standing resolute by my belief that half of you are robots.

Enlighten me - why is this so?

You need to talk your way into a server or pay to get one yourself to learn anything. This is something you should just accept.

The cold, hard truth.

We shouldn't have to.

I agree, we shouldn't, there's no changing that fact. However, it doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon.

Any positive, well accepted change is considered a bad thing for CJ.

You don't seem to realize that by adding support for GS2 into the editor, they would have to implement parts of their actual servers. By doing so, it can easily be stolen, and used by people with ill feelings towards CJ.

I completely understand why they're not doing it. Do I like it? No, not really.

OR those ill-feeling people could just use any of a dozen of free scripting languages instead, that are actually well-tested, documented and supported on a larger scale. What do they have to gain by actually using GS2?

Why? They don't need to add serverside support, it would be like the current editor but in GS2 instead of GS1.

Same thing they have to gain by using old versions of Graal servers for their own project? I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about without me having to mention it's name.

can someone enlighten me as to who the hell CJ is? I've seen him mentioned a lot recently and I'm not sure who it is.

As far as I understand it, the thing that turns plain-text GS2 into executable byte code is currently only part of the server.

Would it require a lot of work to change the GS1 stuff to GS2 on the editor if you were in Stefan's position?

If we are thinking of the same guys, they cannot use the new client anyway because they cannot figure out the encryption.

cyberjouers??? :[

Cyberjoueurs. Joueurs is pretty much French for "gamers" or something, it is just the label that Stefan/Unixmad started the whole thing under.
