The point people are making isn't that adding functionality is a bad idea, just that the functionality you proposed is not very useful.

I think things like battle/baddie systems should be documented, and bare-bones examples would be extremely useful to those that want to learn. But, that's not the idea that was proposed here.

An open source baddie script would be ten times more useful than what was proposed here.

I suppose some good open source baddy, NPC character, etc scripts would be good. A rescript and improvement of all those predefined scripts in GS1.

Yes, I know that. I said. But, that's not was proposed. There's no need to run this in to the ground just because you think something else is more useful. Suggesting that it be part of this community scripting project is different, though.

Look, we get it. You hate useful things. You can go troll elsewhere now.

LoneAngelIbesu · #67 07-27-2008, 08:43 PM

Somehow what I'm doing is trolling, but what you're doing isn't.

Downside: I won't work for Graal servers anymore. Don't know about others, but I think the code gallery is easily accessable enough for player's who need scripts.
The last thing we need is servers which are practically exact duplicates of each other.

I am pretty sure we are prepared to take that risk.

This is not going to happen anyway.

The implication is not that Graal cannot live without me, but that it cannot live without every scripter who feels the same way I do.

And don't be naive. Look at the amount of posts on this forum from 'developers' who are more interested in leeching from other scripters and having their threads locked then actually attempting to learn to script.

The implication is that we could do well without you selfish ****s.

If we had more useful, well-written scripts available to everybody, I am sure we would have more enthusiastic people figuring out how to script on their own.

ha and you guys call yourselves trolls

It's not selfish to not want to release scripts you make. I don't see people saying that everyone should be able to use everyone else's graphics, animations, or levels.

Also, are you a scripter?

To your first point: If we were all selfish there would be nothing in the code gallery. I've posted there on plenty of occasions when I wanted to help the newer developers out with certain system scripts.

To your second point: Very,very doubtful. If they need to work less, there is no reason why they would somehow change their thinking and decide to work more.

You joined March 2003, you should know the answer to that.

Are you saying that if there were scripts available to everyone that you would work less and not learn?

If we're going to have any proposed scripted projects they need to be useful things.
