Small update to RC

Nabru · #1 07-03-2009, 04:14 AM

I think all "Weapon/GUI-script" Updates should be localized, much like the /help function. On servers like Testbed it can become very difficult to see your scripts output amongst all the other peoples. I imagine it can't be too hard.

This would be nice.. but last i heard Stefan has said he wouldn't be updating the external tools and that everything was going in-game/client-based.

I think someone should make a third-party RC, Gani, and Level Editor.

it shouldn't be forced though. an option for it would be better this way a manager or a high admin can see when their NATs are changing scripts. if it was forced locally, someone could get away with uploading a malicious weapon NPC and it wouldn't even display to NC.

Scripted RC has a major flaw with testbed -- panels are not adjustable. You can't even read most of the names of the weapons, making it pretty useless.

There's Gonstruct for Level Editors, but any attempt to make a third-party RC would probably result in a ban or something.

As long as the in-game tools don't feel like in-game tools then things might just be fine but until then I hope we don't get stuck with the crappy one we have now if new stuff ever comes out.

External tools ftw.

I will update it to use an adjustable frame control when I get the time.

I'm pretty sure someone was working on a third-party RC a while back, and was using it.

The only time I've ever heard about this somebody got themselves into trouble. *shrugs*

I remember some thread on these forums about someone who was making a multi-tool for Graal, and it included a third-party RemoteControl that he made. Maybe... 3 years ago?

Stefan would consider a third-party RC as a major security risk, and I remember someone trying to make one before and I think Stefan stopped them.

Crow · #13 07-03-2009, 07:02 PM

I'm pretty sure one could talk with Stefan about that. Show him the source so he can confirm it's clean and allow it to be used.

For some reason I think it might have been Mystical Dragon? I remember someone making an external RC for cellphones/PDAs and was banned for doing so.

DustyPorViva · #15 07-03-2009, 07:46 PM

Oh ya, that was it. I don't know if he was actually banned for it though.
