Zotos said:OK getting alot of heat here. Reason I made this program is because my son cant code for crap. He is always wanting to help out so I made a program that he can use to play with. I figured I would release it here for the fact that some people are not interested in learning how to code but still would like to host a shard. this will help them to make a few special item fast and easy and be on their way.
Now on the generated header what do you think I should add? small not at the top or what? I am not at all trying to be a credit whore so I could really care less about the credit end.
Future releases will include armors, jewelry, mobiles, etc. etc. Please post any ideas on what should be added or kept out of future releases.
i would say put something up showing it was generated by this.....if not for credit, then just so the mods can keep this stuff down to a minimum....the boards would become flooded
Hlal said:Just wanna say, Good Job...this tool will help with the tedious arty making which I hate to do...prefer the more complex coding. Also for all you nay sayers, stuff like this is needed for people to learn from, I can see them understand scripting alot better if they can first make what there thinking then go in and see how it was made, isn't it the same at looking at premade scripts in RunUO scripts directory? think about it, this tool will teach those that want to learn. those that don't want to learn, wouldn't have learned anything without this tool either. Also, don't refer to the gen scripts as "crap", I just did one, there nicly spaced, no errors, simple, and they work... I'm not sure about you all but it doesn't look like crap to me. Again, Great job and I look forward to your future generators as they cover all the scripts I hate to do as an experienced scripter.
in a perfect world, this would be correct....but human nature would state that people in general are lazy.....why learn it when someone is doing it for you? if they wanted to do better things, mabey....but if they want a few KOOL itemz....then they really don't have any reason to pursue learning it
and the generated stuff whether from this or a template script is just that....crap.....it takes little to no effort on the part of the "creator" (please note im using that term loosly) to actually create the item/arty...........i have one sword i have done......i did it on my own with some special stuff....it was primarily a cut and paste job so i don't think much of it.....but i at least put it together myself from scratch.....and i never posted it here cause it wasn't worth the space to take up.
The program if used properly is a great thing.......and it is good to know that he had good intentions.......but i know alot of people will use it.....post it on the boards, and say they scripted it themselves.......i think it is great....i intend to use it, but i also allready know enough basic stuff to be able to do this on my own.....and yes, i would like to see future stuff........it would be great to see for example the mobile bit that you can make mobiles that can do conversations and what not for quests......but that can be abused just as easily i'm sure
@Zotos...........reguardless................great work...you made a decent, good looking program..........the only reason your getting "heat" is cause of what can happen as a result.....so it isn't really heat directed at you even......but it is a great thing and i think it would be great to see it continued
