RC: Only load scripts/classes/dbnps for which you have access

benpoke103 · #1 03-08-2010, 07:23 AM

This may not be implemented however,

When accessing any of the aforementioned, would it be possible to load only the necessary things for which you actually have rights for, so normal developers don't get cluttered with scripts they can not actually utilize?

By this, I mean in the actual Class/Weapon/DBNpc windows

This would be great for testbed (though I feel like it should be an RC option— there are times when you need to see the weapon list).

Sadly I imagine this would require an update to the RC. However, shoot it towards Skyld. Sure, the scripted RC isn't really loved, but good additions like this will only work to help it in the end. Especially if GUI's and such ever get fixed.

I think Tig is managing the scripted RC now. Either way, I wouldn't bother. No one uses it.

That would be awesome seeing as how I can only use Scripted RC. I spend half my time scrolling around trying not to miss what I have access to on testbed.

It would be halfway worth it if GUI's were fixed. Hence most of my original post mentioning that very thing :P

Changes like this that can't even be made to the external RC may as well be added to the scripted one. Eventually the additions may just make it worth converting. Better than letting the ideas stagnate in dead threads and never being implemented anywhere.

I have no clue, it wont start up and the process doesn't show up in task manager. I have tried RC for 1.2.7, 1.3.9, 1.4.1 and they work but I just can't use those. Would anyone happen to have an older copy of RC that is still usable?

Edit: Couldn't you do something similar to what jerret did and just make an addon that removes anything you don't have rights to from the tree.

I don't think this would need an actual RC update. Just needs a minor change on the server to not send the full list(s) to the RC client.

Being able to categorize scripts into collapsible tree-lists would also be great for NC, and that would require an update to RC.

Depending on the structure of how people store scripts on their server, that could certainly create a lot more clicking for little reason; it'd only be helpful in places with an extremely large and hierarchical structure like Testbed, where you'd often only be working in one subtree.

Which is why we'll probably have to wait for V6 RC so we can make these modifications on our own since it only affects a couple servers.

I make a few updates here or there on it, but I think it's still primarily Skyld's project. My main project is GK and the playerlist.

Wouldn't it be protected or so? Because otherwise someone could modify the RC of an administrator through script and change "open player attributes" to "grant all rights to EvilScripterBob" or something similar.

Tabs were on my mind as well, too.
