SRL Archive - MSI Archives

This just crossed my mind…

I was looking at mixster's spams map walking stuff…
http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54803

And I thought: MSI could support these!

{$DEFINE SPAMS_WALK}

{$IFDEF SPAMS_WALK}
//do spams walk
{$ELSE IFDEF REFLECTION}
//do Hybrid walk..
{$ELSE}
//Do color walk

This will be more effective with GIT, when people can just simply push their branches.. and I'm thinking of something like this in RunMe.scar:

{ Modules being tested} //Remove if you do not wish to test
  {Walking: }
    {$DEFINE SPAMS_WALK} //mixster, dd MMM yyyy
    // {$DEFINE Zytex_WALK} //zytex, dd MMM yyyy
    // {$DEFINE Hybrid_WALK} // RM & Coh3n, dd MMM yyyy
  {others: }
{/Modules being tested}

Whichever was most recently updated gets the top spot, and is chosen by default.

What do you guys think?? :)

edit: This could also be used for anyone who just simply wants to add a chunk to the script. Or just a new method for something.

I'm not a part of MSI so my opinion probably means nothing or little, but I think it's a great idea personally. Would make walking more reliable, sounds like a great idea.

Everyone is a part of MSI ;) There's just Scripting leaders so people know who to ask for directions :D And so there'll always be someone to give directions and keep this alive ;)

ohhh cool. I didn't know that. Well I don't consider myself a part of MSI yet then, since I haven't contributed, but knowing everyone is a part, maybe tomorrow during free time I'll see if I can put out some helpful coding (or I'll start tomorrow and give it to the leaders when I finish) to whatever's being worked on.

Also, I think you should add a poll to this thread. It'd be easier to read what SRL thinks through a poll instead of reading every post and trying to estimate which is more popular or count what everyone thinks in all the posts. Maybe 3 options: to add what you suggested, leave it as is, or don't care what the outcome is.

I always find posts more valuable, but I guess a poll can only do good :)

Posts are more valuable but polls give you a quick overview of the general trend of the topic. That's why I like polls where you ask for people to explain their vote in a post.

I support the idea :)
And the different walkers have different uses too; mixster's walks on roads, mine walks in a straight line

Holy moly she is still around…

SPAMS is technically great and interesting thing, but has no real use until we can do the walking without opening the worldmap. You can't open the map every time you start going to bank.

I think we should always have it do the hybrid walking by default no matter what, then defines can be un-commented (like reflection now) for other systems under testing. Just a little different then what you have on the first post.

I voted don't care. It really doesn't matter to me if it's added or not.
