<div class="IPBDescription">Scripting</div> There is a new article written by [t]Prodigy about scripting. It is very informative and I recommend anyone who wants to know more about scripting give it a read.

Thanks!

    It would be nice to keep discussions of the article on topic. But I simply cannot expect that from anti-scripters on this forum. Hopefully the mods will edit the worthless posts and keep the productive ones around.

    I would hope some people have some actual comments on how the article was written, not just "omg its script/hacking article".

    That would be appreciated.

    The article is well written, easy to understand. Though I doubt I will use any scripts <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    good article, consider adding some ready to use scripts (leap-bite, pistol, mwheel binds, blink-meta, blink-swipe etc.)

    anyway... scripts are blocked on most of my fav servers so i'll stick to my mousewheel.

    Fixed. People who 'bhop' with only their spacebar are liars and everyone knows it and laughs at them behind their back for thinking they are so good that they can compensate for ping, lag, and FPS changes and nail the timing exactly jump after jump after jump. Playing in game with spacebar wannabhoppers is the most agrivating thing ever. All they do is block people who are actually bhopping.

    And what, no section on _special? :( Those are by far the most fun scripts to write.

    LOL and of course someone STILL wants to see an honest-to-god leapbite script. You know what, let me write one. This will take about a minute.

    alias +LEETBITE "slot3;wait;+attack;wait;-attack;"
    alias -LEETBITE "slot1;wait;+attack;wait;-attack"

    This script will always make you bite after you leap, because it's retarded. This one is better.

    alias +s3 "slot3;wait;+attack;
    alias -s3 "-attack;wait;slot1"

    Umm I have the feeling I already read that article. I think he posted it here once. NSLearn = Rehashed threads from NS forums. Also why is there at least one person in every scripting thread who's second language is english? And when are we going to have a scripting forum? Inquiring minds want to know. PS: I'm looking forward to the adv. scripting article for NS. It's been a while since moomin or romano or those guys posted their actual useful scripts, and I may have forgotten them or not have them written down somewhere. Besides, I want to see the reactions of the antiscript kiddies when they see romano's double-lastinv fade script again. If anything makes scripting look incomprehensibly difficult and unfair, a script that is about a third of a page long will do it. GG 20MB CFG.

    Special scripts are fun, I'll admit. But since they are to be totally removed in a future version, it would be of little benefit to write a section on it. They are viewed by the competitive community as exploitive, and we cannot officially endorse those kind of scripts.

    Feel free to bring up discussion in our forums.

    Nice article. Hopefully it will teach a lot of people about scripts and what they actually do.

    Well, why make people hate scripts even more?

    Special scripts are really abusive ones that actually do play for you.

    At least they do things very fast and forever for you.

    LOL. Wait are you being serious? Mojo. Oh Mojo. I thought you were one of the smarter long-time players here. :/ Are you just using that "they play for you" line as irony or something or do you actually believe what you said. I'm sorry, my dry-wit-o-meter is a little low on juice. Or maybe I'm just mistaking you for someone clueful.

    special scripts?



    From a TFC script site


    _special Jump Script Submited By Tyler on 11/25/2003 06:26:09 AM

    Description: A script that loops the jump command for easy jump timing. You can just hold down the key and you will keep jumping until you let the key up. This may be illegal in some leagues, so talk with your league admins before using. This will not work with spy or engineer.




    They're very abusive and will only skewer the public's opnion on scripts.

    I would state my opinion and even give some logical arguments to support it but I get the feeling Id only get the "U IZ n00b 4nd n0 n4tiNg Ab0ut 5Cip70rinG" reply.So Ill save it for another time.

    Someone should proppobly lock this thread before another war brakes out.

    scripts are blocked on most if not all of the nz servers bear in mind we only have 4 or 5.

    Sorry for being late, FW, but there's a little too much vitriol in here, and stumping it back to half a page won't make much sense.

    <span style='color:red'>***Locked.***</span>

    BTW, next time, I'd appreciate if you put it into scripting Discussion. We opened that forum for a reason.
