AngelScript: The Revenge

[Dimentio]

Why are we even talking about ZScript here...
This is a discussion about angelscript need i remind you guys about that?
If you still want to use zscript thats your business.
If you want to switch over to angelscript that's fine too.

Because this is topic about Angelscript replacing ZScript. Of course there is going to be talk about ZScript.

This is a topic about implementing AngelScript. The hypothetical future of Zscript discussion is getting a little old and tiring.

I feel the same way you do buddy. In fact... It's time i step back in as official zc ambassador since apparently @ZoriaRPG ; and i'm just going to be blunk, sucks at his job and doesn't even know what that means. It has nothing to do with the community, it has to do with keeping the develop team from falling apart.
@ZoriaRPG @Grayswandir @Dimentio
if you have nothing else to say about the implementation of angelscript. then feel free to make another thread to discussion compatibility. It's really sad when i'm forced to put my foot down here cause you kids don't know how to stop.
When nobody wanted to go with my suggestion to implement LUA instead of AS i chose to respecte everyone elses decision. It would be nice if you would show me the same courtesy.

Wait, who made you in charge, again?

Anyways, any discussion on Angelscript is inherently linked to ZScript discussion, so I fail to see why we need two separate topics for this (especially since I don't recall the change to Angelscript ever being... well, confirmed (unless that was somehow decided already and I missed it)).

Children! Children...

Because the discussion on Zscript hasn't been constructive. It's been mostly whining about what *might* happen with Zscript. This isn't the thread to discuss what may or may not happen with Zscript in the future. It's not constructive.

I'm not sure why y'all decided that we can't talk about how ZScript and AS interact in this thread. The very first post asks that question:

2. Is it feasible to switch to AngelScript while maintaining compatibility with old quests (presumably, this would require only supporting the ZASM interpreter, and ZScript could be dropped entirely)? Or would an AngelScript-driven ZC live in its own ecosystem separate from the existing program and quests?

Although we could limit this thread to "the parts of implementing AS that specifically don't have anything to do with ZScript," I didn't see any indication that that was the case, and I think it would be detrimental to do so. Arbitrarily viewing the "two" problems in isolation doesn't seem productive to me.

And in my view, it's been constructive. In the last few pages, @Gleeok learned about a (major?) problem with integrating ZScript and AS (whatever it is we're doing) he was otherwise unaware of.


I think the real problem with, er, being "constructive", is than nobody knows exactly what's going on. I've discussed various options with lots of people, but nowhere have I seen a decision. I think it'd be helpful if @Gleeok or someone briefly described the current AS work done, and what the current plan for the finished product is, even if tentative. It's hard to discuss AS if we're not all on the same page.

You seem to be deliberately taking what I said out of context. Anyone with relevant points or questions on the subject of this thread are not something I would(or have) take issue with. The fact that it evolved into whining and bickering about things that have already been covered is what is getting irksome. As most certainly the portion of DD's post you quoted has been covered. Not with absolute certainty, but nothing is certain right now.

What is the MAJOR problem? The array thing? People will have to update their broken scripts that will be unsupported because of their stupid, awful code. How is that an issue? Solution: Don't code bad. (I code bad all the time but.... TRY DON'T CODE BAD!)

Gleeok has stated what he is doing. I don't think Gleeok explains things. If you want to know exactly what he is doing you will have to just jump in and try to figure it out. As I am doing. Well, I haven't actually spent very much time doing it because of school and work.
