I would find useful: - Codes that fit to the Templates or improve them, like Basic Movement (like the Kingdom Hearts Code) or higher stuff like inventory, fighting scripts, etc. I think there�s a lot of that kind on the Web or in the AUMs, so ready to use versions qould be great ------------------------ All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors.

I believe the aim of the code should be "modular" where scripts are as self contained as much as possible. Any standard code added to the library would simply need to be defined well with help from members of the GStudio community such as yourself. In other words, yes. We can add that kind of code provided we know exactly what is needed that has not already been provided for in the templates. Chaos is a paradox consistently inconsistent.

The primary target for this lib is to support programmers with stuff they need every day. Genre specific things like inventars won't be in soon. Edit: As you can see, I won't just release the lib but maintain it to keep the code quality as high as possible. I'm going to explain later what this means for authors who want to write stuff.

"templates"? uh... didn't we try something comparable with the 3dgs wiki years ago? why does noone want to continue and maintain the old projects instead of creating new, unknown ones? homepage \| shameless advertising \| Linux supporter

I already have a website where we can all collaborate the effort and there is plenty of code already contributed out there we can add to the library. I believe a few people need to be dedicated to each "piece" of the library. For example, TWO can maintain the data structures part. What do you think about that TWO?

If there's somebody interested in your collection I can write some code for your collection as well, that's no problem. But I'll release and maintain my code anyway because I use it every day.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel but I believe that the template code is targeted at the non programmer for the most part with the priority being ease of use by anyone as opposed to modularity. I'm not sure how they are structured now but when I was using the normal template (not template6) I found there was much code being pulled in that I simply didn't need. Worse yet, when I tried to copy only what I needed I was led to many other files. I want the option to work WITH the templates not to REMAKE the templates.

I am not proposing finding all freely released scripts and simply calling them a library. I AM however, proposing that as a starting point. For example, I can look at MystyMood and code it in a library fashion (with the authors permission of course). Then it could become a standard weather library. Each library module would have to maintained by a person or persons. That person or persons would work with the general community in regards to enhancing the library. My #1 reason for loving this engine is the community, support, and contributions. Chaos is a paradox consistently inconsistent.
