You know, again I think we need to start working on the wiki; especially for beginning scripters. the info we've got is too disorganized, in too many places, and in too many small bits that aren't linked together logicly. and often it's aimed at an experienced scripter.
When Aaron gets back he'll sort out the wiki account creation problem, as I know most of you don't have accounts, but then how about some help in putting together a learning to script document aimed at taking someone from a beginner state, right into the advanced topics (which are already present, but not organized in the wiki too well). I've had a shot at the learning to create dialogs via the XML feature, just to give myself some experience in writing for the wiki, and so if you're interested in doing something before Aaron is back, you could read that article and tell me where I need to improve it; pollish it, or whatever; replace it if necessary, but suggestions are appreciated. maybe someone could publish an outline for ideas of pages for learning to script here on the list? as for right now, there's Jamal's "learning to script" script, which you can download for examples on things like the hotkey manager, and I think it gives some lessons on what you need to do for a basic script. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: David [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 3:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Hotkey manager? you are not the only one, who would like to see such an example. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tylers Scripting" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 6:17 AM Subject: Re: Hotkey manager? > Hi Jj, > i just coppied the deal out of the we framework script, that said > something about hotkey manager equals nothing or whatever it is. > Could we just make it much easier, so my head didn't have to spin, and > just email me an example? > Tyler > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "J.J.
