how about the ability to link stuff to static shapes? so that pylons could have their line go to the shape, minecarts could ship carts into the shape, spawnlinks could send souls into the link... and *********** could send the ***** that look like ****** into the shape?

elyea

if you feel that this post reveals *** ****** about ************, then sorry. please delete it as soon as possible in that case.

You can't code but you want to be able to change the coding elements(?) as that is the only way to implement your ideas?...

It would be a lot more helpful if you were more concise and informative. Perhaps give examples of what ideas you have.


Well, all I am saying is, coding is tons of work. While I really don't have a problem with making maps, I can't really keep at text coding for a long time. I tend not to stick to projects that I want to do like modding. Now, if I could mod with a partner, that would go away but since I am not well known and can't text code for my life, I seriously think something like a scriptwriter in editor or otherthings that cut down text coding.

My projects also tend to die unless I'm working with someone else... I wonder why...

We uh, tend to reserve 'coding' for coding (like, writing an actual program in C or assembly or *shudder* Java etc)

'Scripting' is usually for script languages, like Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Darwiniascript (or whatever it's actually called and etc)

and 'Writing some strings for my mod' is usually used for writing strings for your mod.

Since I can script to save my life, I seriously think that a scriptwriter in the editor would be, in essance, a waste of time, and wouldn't really cut down time spent on scripting at all; if anything it would be slower since you'd have to go into the editor to edit scripts. However, I assume the problem people have is not knowing what commands are there and how to just create a script - it's actually really quite easy but it feels like jumping in at the deep end - maybe there's something easier in between the two that'll help.

Apparently even martin got his head around scripting eventually, so you can too! :P

hmm, insult? compliment?... and besides, I learnt all the scripting stuff for TheDeserts, hacked some crappy scripts and released the worst part of TheBigMod (scripting wise). Now I've forgotten it all and need elyea to do it for me :P
