[Agoraphobic]

I remember sadscript. <3

[Marsh]

sadscript ftw . Still thousands of scripts around here for it.

[tslusny]

> sadscript ftw . Still thousands of scripts around here for it.

It is not that deeply implemented into source yet, for now it is loading sadscript sub only on server load  But in next update i will add SadScript commands too, so you can programm custom commands, like /calladmins etc 

> I remember sadscript. <3

And who not? 

> sadscript.. y in hell xD… i hope ur planing to improve this???

Good Work

Do SadScript charged in some way server?

[tslusny]

> Hi Beam can u fix trade? :>

Done  If you mean that there wasn´t button for it, then done i added right-click menu in v1.0.2 

[tslusny]

> Good Work
>
> Do SadScript charged in some way server?

It is called in corresponding Subs in server, With MyScript.Execute command, for example Sub InitServer from SadScript is called in Sub InitServer in source at top of that sub (check source if you do not get what i just said ). And becouse my posts aren´t approved very fast, i hope i won´t post double-post lol 

[DMF]

adiff.. in past some of us saw lot more lag with sad script i rlly love to see zero lag XD

ill test it out >| if i find bugs ill tell you all.

I noticed by myself that when using SadScript command (/calladmins), response from server is slower a bit. But still, i love SadScript 

[Growlith1223]

There will never be "zero" lag. you will ALWAYS get lag. just not as much as others. some you may not even notice the lag.

[Exception]

Sooo….older Silverdales' source?

[Jumbofile]

yay scripting!

[cheatking]

 Script

[Guest]

Good shit man. Looks nice. Sadscript must die (my opinion, I thought we killed it a long time ago…), hope you imporve that and I want to see this shit in action.

[Synergy]


[Alerd]

Is the ability to remove the sadscript?

Any plans about version 1.0.3?

[bintin]

Looks good, i certainly wouldn't use it, I highly dislike sadscript.

[BugSICK]

Welcome back death 

[Zetasis]

Hmm. I'm interested in seeing how the sadscript thing works out. I'm no programmer but I have been told that if implemented by some one who knows what their doing then sadscript could actually be a decent way of adding quick features, but sadly the past has proven otherwise. What exactly are your plans for this engine? Do you plan on adding more features or just leaving it how it is and optimizing it, and any plans for a DX8 conversion in the future? Welcome back and I'm really looking forward to seeing this engine improve.

[Alerd]

No no no dont convert to dx8..

Dx8 is bad… can u use eclipse reborn

[Zetasis]

Why is DX8 bad? The only difference is you can use .png images and a little bit of code change but other then that it is the exact same as DX7(from what I understand).

[Alerd]

Beam write dont convert miracle to dx8
