Issues related to server and script distro upgrading - RunUO

01-09-2003, 03:07 PM

Ive noticed how the core changes from release to release, and so does the script distro.

I think some problems could occur related to scripts versioning/compatability with the core and other scripts... And besides, it is not easy to move a script distro from one release to another, since the core changes and new stuff is added or removed from scripts...

I don't know if you can understand what im thiking about, but does anyone have a idea on how to deal with this?

In short lines, i fear a rush similar to sphere 53/54 releases scripts conversion on runuo...

Your saying that with things changing from version to version, eventually it may change so much that old scripts made for earlier releases start erroring out when people try to transfer their custom scripts? I dunno what to do other than convert them when you need, which would be a large hassle if you have a lot.

Perhaps someone should write a script converter program which has a customizable formatting so it can be updated as things change..?

Lifedragn · 01-09-2003, 03:20 PM

That would be difficult to do, custom scripts can vary quite a bit in how they are written up, and to be able to determine what line would change into what on customs would not be easy.

It would be just like any other converter.. only release patches or something to update the format, etc. if something changes.. *shrugs* just an idea..

I think RunUO is getting into more of a set format though, they are changing 'how' its written less and less as releases go on, or so I think. Once out of beta I think it should run a steady format.

*nods*
I believe that's one issue they're striving to address with their code..

Almost every other emu around has had at least one 'Big Build' that totally F*cked it all up for the users.. which is quite a nuisance..

The only thing that can change is where stuff is located.

The great thing about C# is 90% of the code will work always. Its just a matter if

mobile is where it is today.

Remember when they moved everything to Server <--- namespace made alot of custom scripts not work for awhile. Another change is things they miss spell :-) like Meelee AI.

But I mean do we really need a program to do fix those small problems?

Most likely not, with the way things have developed so far, I don't see any problems any time soon.. most every issue will most likely be able to be handled fairly easily. It was just a thought.. commenting on others' concerns..

damn, ignore this post...

the whole thing went into a completely different thing...

read a topic about packages on suggestions.
