Heh heh I could drive down the road and apply at Activision

[BS-er]

Wow the game market changes every time you look.  The nearby game development studio Vicarious Visions has apparently been snatched up by Activision.  I never thought the developer/publisher of my first hardcore game interest would be coming to my neck of the woods here in upstate NY .

It doesn't mean I'll apply any time soon, or that they'd necessarily accept me, but its kinda neat to know that such a potential might possibly exist.

The world is shrinking at an alarming rate...

Hey, while you're here, any chance of any of the newer 1.3 functions being supported by the Scriptor?

-Av-

[BS-er]

Uhh what's the Scriptor?   J/K.

I did an update with 1.3 functions, in Version 1.7 of the Scriptor.  Are there even newer 1.3 functions beyond what is covered in version 1.7 of the DLL Scriptor?

I'll look into it, but I could use some background on what is new, and where can I get the DLL code released by the 1.3 developers.

[bigbadbogie]

in pb4 there will probably be tonnes of new script possibilities - and if the scriptor is not updated they will be confined to people with c++ knowledge and therefore about 3 or 4 modders

hmm.... ask GSH

GSH has been a very busy guy... I'm sure there'd be no problem getting you updated with what he's been doing, but I wouldn't ask you to do anything until the next Public release.  It's enough fun making a mod while the patch is evolving, let alone such an important utility.

I was just wondering if it was still something you'd be willing to do, being knee deep in MAD and all.

It would be nice having access to things like FORCE MORPH, FORCE UNMORPH, UNLOCK MORPH when it comes time to do the Chinese TRO missions...  as that's how the Cloak works.     "Deploy" only works until they start moving...  little buggers decloak at that time and spoil the suprise.

Heh, well, you could always use mine.

only a genius could even begin to consider using python script - ITS JUST TOO HARD

[Nielk1]

It's easier than C++ and now I can do that, so does that make me a super genius?

[OvermindDL1]

Python is considered one of the easiest languages to pick up, was designed with that in mind after all.

great - so even if i spend the next 50 years learning python script it will still be inferior... whats the point of that?? and why is there more than 1 coding language at all??

[VSMIT]

Learn to write everything in binary.  Then you'll only have to learn 1 language.

VSMIT.

[Warfreak]

Yes, thats why your face is binary huh......

I am honestly looking into learning c++, mostly because that will be the only one my school will offer to teach.

[Nielk1]

Then you would be using Machine code instructions, which, are extremely specific to an exact hardware. I think most if not all PCs would be the same, but anything else... And then you have to access ram and everything else directly, and custom right everything.

[OvermindDL1]

Python is also one of the most powerful languages, able to mutate itself, able to interact with and bind to native code thus allowing access to any form of system interface, etc...  It is basically Perl, but easy to read, and if you know anything about Perl then perl can do anything, as can Python.

They are named as such for a reason people.  (Them Python can slither through anything.)
