OK, I know this might not be important to many that write these scripts that we all use and appreciate.
In a different product ive used in the past, the authors would denote their names into the script at the top with the REM command.

IF you write a script, I personally would like to know who did it for my personal reference in case I need to know who it came from for help or what ever.



I have been trying to remember who it came from when I get them but sometimes its hard for me to remember and I think its important for one to take credit for their work.

I think you will find that once people are posting substantial scripts then they will
put their name at the top.
It does not sit easy with me to try and put my name on all small scripts..
It's like trying to claim ( The cat sat on the mat ) as your words.

I agree - Yes as the scripts get bigger the name will help to contact the author for help.

The more I re-read my reply.. the more I agree with what your trying to do..
There have been some very clever small scripts posted on the board.
So from the perspective of new coders even the smallest code can seem like magic..

So forget what I have said above I will start to do exactly as you propose on all the
code I write... you have my 100% support..

Thanks for your response JC. Yes, even the small scripts deserve credit.

I don't know if that one is...

mine is the one in this thread

http://fpscrforum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=207644&b=2

6 posts down on first page allmightyhood posts the script
telling all that it was freely given on the forum
but he could not remember who...
the 2nd post after that is your post so I just took it that you had it...

sorry if I misunderstood... ( I knew I should't have stuck my hand up..)

I suppose this just goes to prove your first post request
to have authors put their name at the top of code



see I added my name

No that is not mine...

If you see any code like this it is a good chance it's one of mine..



or some other old C programmer..

my pattern recognition system ( my eye) is used to code blocks being defined thus

myFunction()
{
}

so I put in the rems
function myFunction(e)
--{

end
--}

to keep my eye and brain happy...
all the (end commands) just mess me up...

Lol, I really wish I knew what all this scripting was about. I'd love to write my own. Until then, I'm grateful for what you and every else do!

Thats a very good system! I find lua very hard to read as I'm used to C (i'm using notepad for editing, should probably pick up a bit of software that does the highlighting as that would also help!)

Doornokey sounds like one of mine, but I don't ever remember posting it, lol. The only ones I have put up are the farming ones. Which were an expansion of AuShadows cash and xp script, which I believe he worked on from another one originally. Perhaps I used the no doornokey one in a tutorial, I may well have done.
