I really don't think that gpackages or the elite scripters providing scripts and documentation will in any way stop new people from learning gscript. Most of todays scripters learned it by tearing apart the work of others and figuring out how it worked anyway. The major problem with an offline editor using gs2 scripting is the fact you need an npc server for them to actually function and its my understanding that its not really possible offline. The other argument has been to release the source code but since Graal is a gaming platform they sell licensing to thats pretty counterproductive on their part and a bad business decision. |

Gpackages having basic core scripts is completely understandable, I was merely arguing against full systems where no customization would be necessary (with regards to systems that define a server not things like tailors and such).

We also need some more proper demonstrations of how to use SQLite.

See, it's confusing to new people because they have to learn it solely from others. I would know GS2 by now if I didn't have to learn it purely by word-of-mouth. And also, things can be done to make GS2 more accessible to new players wanting to develop. This doesn't mean releasing source code or servers or anything. It means replacing that crappy .txt file that's in the editor right now with updated information on syntax. And if you really want to get fancy about it, Gonstruct (in my sig) has a special feature which is to color-code things in GS2 so that it can be read more easily and mistakes can be found. These are the kinds of solution this team should be working on. Little revisions like that go a long way. |
Posting to be a terrible lua fanboy and shower its Reference Manual with praise for being a very awesome, concise and complete(!) resource for learning the lua language that is worth emulating. I would link it but we all know that I am not allowed to have nice things~

lua is used by world of warcraft if im not wrong

I'm still waiting on that input from Stefan. And I'd also like to know what Bell has gained so far from this discussion with regards to how this team is going to work. |
I would be interested if I had time but sadly I don't.

Update: I have asked Tig to make a special guild and add the members of the PWA to administrate it for now. I'm compiling a list of those people who have expressed interest and through their actions have already proven themselves. I see no need for those people to have to fill out a long application form.
Once a core group is in place we'll formulate an application. I agree that anyone applying should come with recommendations but it will be a way of letting others show their interest. This application shouldn't be long and complicated though. Vulcan will be working with Darlene to set up a private forum and we'll also get global/staff connection set up again. We'll also work out any details of all their specific duties. Most of which have already been discussed at length in this thread but I'm sure there will need to be some tweaks done. I believe that we can have a broad idea of them for now and become more detailed if necessary. Since this team is comprised of members of the entire development community its obvious that not everyone would be doing exactly the same thing. Gold will be optional but a plus since its required to get onto UC servers and will limit the number of people that can help in that area. In some cases though the help can be done via pm or uploading an image onto imageshack. |
Hurray! :)
