i got the script compiler but dont know how to use it. anyone know a good place to find what im lookin for?

Did you read the ScriptCompiler.doc? It should help you and it comes with the compiler.

well that didnt seem to help much since no document was attached to the compiler dl. other sources have told me that theres a language to go along with it and that i would be able to find it on the internet. is this a wak informant? and i still dont know how to change or alter or write or whatever you do to compile scripts. any information on the subject would be greatly apretiated. thanks in advance

WAK informant? well i'm sorry you don't know how to use a search engine..but if it's a spoon feeding that you need, open wide.. there's a 120kb word document

http://www.planetbaldursgate.com/iwd...files/patches/

looks kinda obvious, huh?

you'll have to figure out the process of compiling on your own cuz there are no real instructions... but you don't need to know anything about programming to figure it out.. just look at the pictures and try to use deductive resoning

Yes, some of the answers to questions can be obvious, but there's no reason to belittle people.

well, i only have a 9 for Charisma... and since i work in tech support, i tend to assume that everyone online under the age of 23 knows what they're doing, or is from Arkansas and can't be helped.

ok ass, there was and still wont be any type or form of document when i re-re-install it. so thanks for the lip. but if anyone who has any possitive info, i would apreciate it. thanks in advance

listen jerk-wad, i apologize if your pride has been wounded.. but i can't help the gaping head wounds you call eyes.. you'll just have to look at that link that i spoon fed to you until you SEE the download for the word document that explains the whole freakin language to you...
if you're bee-otching about how to actually compile the source to script; just try using the compiler, look at what it says when it compiles.. with a little brain power (i realize this may be asking alot) you might deduce a way to compile your own script (ie, copy your source to the..... source folder)

I don't know why you are egging him on. He basically apologized in his last post after I had brought to his attention that he had been a little rude.

Don't take this discussion to a lower level. It's not worth it.

And you Leafy,

You don't need to get yourself in trouble over this either.

If I were you two, I'd stop flaming each other before you get sanctioned with consequences. There are many other wonderful people on this board who enjoy engaging in civil conversation. I suggest you try to reply to those threads and/or wait for those people to respond.

Sam,

Leafy tried to direct you to the word document you needed. This link will download the word file directly . You shouldn't need to search the pages for anything.

http://www.fileplanet.com/index.asp?file=50836

I found the file by following Leafy's link and then scrolling down on the page to find the section discussing the script compiler. Where most websites post their links in blue, this website posts their links in cream.

Reding the word file will give you lots of information. However, script writing is not very easy.

I assume that you are trying to write new attack and defense scripts for the PC's. You can do this, but you really need to read through the information in the word document thoroughly. You can really mess up your game if you get the wrong script. Not to discourage you, but you might want to try to find some scripts that others have already written.

Good luck.

Do any of you know of a scripts repository, so that I do not go re-creating one when one exists that would be perfect for my needs? Do any of you fellow scripters have working scripts that you are willing to share with us?

I know that there are scripts out there. Unfortunately I haven't found a huge database -- more like one here and two there.

Try this site for a start http://drizzt1180.homestead.com/index.html
then you might try an internet search if you haven't already.

Please post a reply if you find a great site http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif.

the closest thing i have found is the collection of sites at teambg. at least it makes a central place to search from and you KNOW that the scripts are for the bg and iwd games.
try it. potencius has some good ones.
altho most everybody really does seem to script for uber chars, rather than solid scripts for good team backup. </A>

Thank you both, Father Bronze and vesselle, for your help. I am researching these sights as I type this.
