That is all I can think of for now, if you have any suggestions/questions go ahead and post :) I will want to see these standards applied in every single piece of code that goes into the MSI SVN.

Lol, I'm already incorporating them into my personal scripts because I like it so much. :)

- Use Scar Scripting standards.

I don't think that's a part of the SCAR Scripting standards?

Yeah, well unless you want to go through every MSI file and change all the bold words, and then convince Naum/marpis to not capitailize them, we'll have some words capitalized and some not. :p

Capital bold letters is win

To be honest, I think it's useless to go through and change everything. It's the way they choose to script and they can do what they want. Capitalizing bold words is the last of my concerns when it comes to our standards.

A while back, I made this header generator (just found it in my folder. lol):

Program MSI_TagGenerator;

Const
  Typ = 'Function'; //'Function' OR 'Procedure'
  Name = 'MSI_OpenBank(Bank, tPin : String) : Boolean;'; //The params + name
  By = 'NaumanAkhlaQ and NCDS';  //Who is it made by?
  Rev = '22'; //What Rev?
  Datex = '25 Oct 09';  //The date it was created.
  Description = 'Opens a bank using the best openers first.'; //The description

Var
  Strings : Array [0..6] Of String; //Stores the Info
  Space : Byte;
Begin
  Space := 80;

  Strings[0] := '{'+ Replicate('*', 80) +'}';
  Strings[1] := '{ '+ Typ +' '+ Name;
  Strings[2] := '{ By: '+ By;
  Strings[3] := '{ Rev: '+ Rev;
  Strings[4] := '{ Date: '+ Datex;
  Strings[5] := '{ Description: '+Description;
  Strings[6] := '{'+ Replicate('*', 80) +'}';

  WriteLn(Strings[0]);
  
  WriteLn(PadR(Strings[1], Length(Strings[1]) + (Space - Length(Strings[1]))) +' }');
  WriteLn(PadR(Strings[2], Length(Strings[2]) + (Space - Length(Strings[2]))) +' }');
  WriteLn(PadR(Strings[3], Length(Strings[3]) + (Space - Length(Strings[3]))) +' }');
  WriteLn(PadR(Strings[4], Length(Strings[4]) + (Space - Length(Strings[4]))) +' }');
  WriteLn(PadR(Strings[5], Length(Strings[5]) + (Space - Length(Strings[5]))) +' }');
  
  WriteLn(Strings[6]);
End.

I also made one which does the headers for the beginning of the file. I'll see if I can dig that one up..

+1.
It is bullshit to expect every one to code the same.
Some one could be an epic coder with their own style, but if they're forced to use these 'standards' they could be thrown off guard and end up with a bad product.

As long as it contains the proper spacing rules, it's pretty readable.
