I don't see where something like this couldn't be designed and implemented through the GDT. Skyld could get the testing and approvals done then uploaded once all the bugs/details were worked out. Its this sort of combined thoughts/discussion and implementation that will improve the quality of Graal.

Some people don't like sharing
Well depending on the GPackage (Mainly ones that have Client side functionality), you may not want other coders, cheaters, snooping around for possible exploits.

If not GPackages, then there should be some sort of default server kit, that includes some examples and so on to help a server get on its feet.

I.e:

- Basic Item System Kits
- Custom Server Kits

I completely agree, I feel new developers have to spend far too much time just trying to get off the ground. If they had a basic script package to choose from they could then customize or make additions that suit their individual needs.

Why the hell did you instantly derail this thread from "what kind of stuff would be useful" to "how can we make stuff less useful to protect our precious intellectual property"

GS2 is sooooo easy compared to other languages, the only problem is there's no good documentation for it.

I was getting the same feeling.

He's just pointing out how I originally asked what servers would find useful, but the thread got derailed into how to distribute them in a "less useful" manner, in Loriel's opinion. I suppose that's because he's an open-source advocate, but then again so am I.

Not to say that it isn't good food for thought though.

I think one of the only things Stefan actually requested for the team to do was to update the documentation regularly, and yes, I agree with you.

Aaaah, sorry, that was not directed at you but the thread in general.

Your original problem statement was "what scripts and content and whatever can we offer to kickstart server development, that people can build their playerworld upon, etc". That is a pretty interesting topic and you would think that after almost ten years of having playerworlds, we would have a whole bunch of primitives to combine and build upon. Or at least know what to look for.

If someone's silly little "scripty made by ___" disclaimer (which, in my opinion, should not be visible to players anyway) needs to be protected not only by PWA mandate, but in a manner that prevents scripters from adapting stuff to work on their server, from repairing it when it breaks when other things change and from extending it to integrate their own features, someone has a pretty messed-up idea of priorities in development.

This is fatally necessary, in a more bottoms-up manner than just documenting random funny features.

Even ignoring the huge contradiction between these two claims, GS2 is not particularly easy compared to languages in a similar niche like javascript or lua. I would say it is significantly harder than most programming languages out there just by virtue of depending on a huge amount of game engine details that are not documented nor intuitive at all, instead of being neat and compact.
