Well is anyone out there willing to try to teach me how to script? Its about time i learn how to do it myself, plus iam tired of using other people stuff. Cutting and paste piece of scripts together get old too:[ I need someone who can dedicate a hour a night,a couple days a week or maybe weekends ,on the phone or via a messanger and start from the basic and explain how the hell you guys write these things!!!!!

Thanks,
TheButcher

Where is Kemper the script pimper when ya' need him? LOL

I think +EP+ already volunteered to do a segment if someone organized a 'web-seminar' event. Look into a 'chatroom' style forum we can use temporarily to test, then we'll try to organize a few formal sessions. I say 'we' as I want to attend too. If nothing else than to defend against your new knowledge... (If you're the Butcher on Ultimate M!!)
I think there are several scripters willing to try to help, the burden is (rightfully) on us students to get some basic organization.

If you are serious, send me an email--crosby@aircav.com or through the forum, as I am interested as well.

Any scripters out there interested? If we get a 'class' together on some chat forum will there be volunteer professor-types?

Ya iam TheButcher from game M at ulimate! iam very intrested via forum or team chat or a voice chat how ever the trainer want to set this up. count me in!

I highly recomend that you take a look at my scripts on Grimytrader. Most of them are well documented, and really explain what I'm doing and why.

Also, check out the following links on my site.

They go over some of the things that I get asked about all the time.

Don't assume tooo much Grasshopper...

JK Traitor, the time you spend didnot help someone who is TWX Brain-Dead (like me). I would also be interested in a class.[;)]

my icq is 259-922-155 I am new to scripting for TW however i have 25 years of experience in industrial programming and have come up with some good stuff for the corpies already.I would be happy to explain basic scripting and boolean logic theory to a group of new scripters via a yahoo conference.Perhaps some of the old scripting hands from the board would like to also as im up for learning anything new at anytime myself

I'm with Butch, I'd really like to figure out how to write these things on my own. Read all the readmes/ *.ts files and docs I could find, but still struggling with the syntax.

Count me in if it happens.

Me too.
I would like to learn how to script.
I hate using other peoples stuff. I would like to learn to write my own.

Heh

I'd be happy to teach, and I'm sure that there are others who would be willing. I just don't want the burden of putting it together, coming up with a location, testing a webinar type app, and whatnot. Tell me where to show up, then we'll put an agenda together, and get 'er done.

If it proves successful, and interest is high, we might try to vary the teacher according to the content. First we need to cover the basics of scripting, then we can delve deeper into the various techniques particular to a specific script genre (offense, base building, utility, etc.)

So those of you interested in learning, please coordinate to make it happen. Perhaps someone can volunteer to head it up. Private Message me if you'd like to discuss the options, and possibly put it to the test. I can also be reached via email, ElderProphet at Comcast.net.

Thanks EP! Well everyone thats intrest get ahold of me via icq or forum! one thing we need to decide is the best was for communcation. With scripting iam thinking like team speak or a voice messanger of sometype is best! EP Whats best for comms. for something like this? another question is everyone that want to sit in have head set for voice comms?

If I'm avalible I would love to sit in... no headset, but I can just hang out and listen/type if I need anything

Maybe best to have a mic on the prof. to quickly answer questions, but the rest of the 'class' in chat format, typing their questions. That way the teach can pick and choose which to answer and how some may interrelate or set up the next subject.
Yahoo messenger w/ voice has a conference room ability, and is free.
Another thing is setting some subjects up beforehand, so the speaker can prepare, or perhaps recommend a different person for part of the subject-matter. This would also help students decide which classes would be helpful, and which would be gotta make it no matter what.
Another advantage of setting up subjects in advance, homework! The teach could recommend a set of publicly available scripts to have downloaded and at least glanced at before class.
Subjects?

yea if you wanna go the voice route i would do yahoo.. it is clear and has the typing ability.. if the teacher does nto have a headset, IRC would be the best way to go

I think Crosby has a pretty well thought out plan on how to make the teaching sessions work effectively. Good thinking Crosby! [;)]
