There are obvious reason not to allow others to script. However, what i'm talking about is parts of the code which is non-critical. Say 2 more types of ore, ingots and armor should be added. I can't see any reason why not anybody could write such code. Only thing being important is quality assurance from Blinkers, BB, CV or Jorus (dunno who would do something like that).

There's also reasons why this is not such a good idea, i'm just tossing it up and hoping for a proper discussion.

I'll try to explain clearly :

It would be more work for BB and CV to figure out the code of what I should call 'Apprentice programmers' (Big bunch of code, no comment and a lot of unusefull lines).

Also we can't program a library or a class like that in black out, we must know how the server works, which is long and need a lot of good documentation.

Finally, each time someone send is work it would need a lot of work of implementation and testing, testing, testing, testing...

I know it would require quite alot of work to browse throught the existing documentation, but it is possible. It is even quite common for a programmer to take on such tasks. I have done so myself more than once

Which documentation? Obsidian is heavily modified Obsidian core server, so no documentation on how we have to code. I even don't know if there's still some parts of Obsidian core. All I remembre is that BB was running Obsidian 0.55i long time ago and now the server have been customised. And imagine all questions that BB would have to answer. Nothing to have more time. Only more problems and bugs to resolve.

BB and CV could accept a new teamster tough but no code requested to the public. Obviously for security and performance reasons.

Boon, you have an optimist solution, but to hard to implement and to control.

And I think that BB want to keep a control over is own server. I remember that a GM have fked the server long time ago when he was on vacancy.

I agree with both sides, but **** having us just throw scripts at them. If they want a scripter, let them hire one they want, otherwise you're just gunna get lame scripts getting thrown in there cause someone wants their char to PWN more.

^^ This is where i think you're wrong Ashes. Common scripters would not be able to tweak the server in a way where their char would pwn more. They just wouldn't be able to see the full picture, and would have to be involved with lesser and specific tasks.

Peace out, i will keep my moth shot on this topic from now on

It's not like that, it's good that you brought it up, maybe it'll spark something in BB's head or CV's or who knows.

It's just the whole idea of everyone throwing scripts at BB, when as it is, he already gets overwhelmed and takes breaks from Obsi.

I don't think another stress point is what he needs, to sit there and look through hours of mainly amatuer scripting (aside from the few others who can script good) That's like having to sit and read a dictionary, christ..
