Stormfront Scripting

[Deathravin]

Just thought I would state to all...

Simu announced that Stormfront will have the same scripting engine as eScape.

Good because eScape scripting is a lot more powerful than wizard, but I would wish for a much more powerful scripting engine, perhaps based on VB or C++ programming.

[Reyek]

I dont plan on using Stormfront unless they Make us do away with the Wizard. I dont like the fancy little graphics and point and click options they have for Stormfront they make the game seem extremely stupid with that. But the Scripting for Stormfront will be nice.

[Xolean]

I haven't looked much at writing scripts for escape...okay, more honestly, I just haven't.

How difficult is it to convert an FE script that can be used on escape?

Are there any tutorials for scripting on escape?

[AnticorRifling]

You might have more power to script using Escape and StormFront but you're using Escape and StormFront...

That just kills it for me.

[Trinitis]

Having used both esape and stormfront, am I the only one that notices a "communication" lag in those two front end as compaired to the wizard?

Not really. If you're using 56k, then yeah, eScape will be slower for you.

The difficulty of copy and pasting. The difference is that in eScape, you can define your own variables beyond %weapon, %shield etc, it has no script timer, and (I hear) you can use Java in your scripts.

[Deathravin]

You can't use java in your scripts. If you could, That would be really great... Hit "scripting reference" in stormfront or escape scripting option. It'll tell you the difference.

The main difference between Wizard and eScape / StormFront...

Wizard:
>>>
goto DoitNumb%cGoing

eScape/Stormfront:
>>>
goto DoitNumb%c%Going

I asked about this in the New Font End topic on the GS boards a while ago and a GM told me that something like:

goto DoitNumb%cGoing

works in eScape and StormFront.

Actually, I guess I was misinformed. I just tested StormFront scripting, and I do indeed have to change the variables withing the script.

Where do I copy and paste my wizard scripts so that I can use them in Stormfront?

Also, does the format have to be changed from .cmd or .wiz?

In StormFront under the "Options" drop down menu (I believe thats its title, I can't get in to check) there is an option titled "Scripts". Select it, click the "Create" button, and paste the script in the largest text field. No, you don't have to change the name or extension of the script. StormFront automatically saves it as .CMD I believe. But if you use any variables in your script, such as counter, save, or any user variables, you have to change the syntax in the script from

%<variableName>

to

%<variableName>%

Example:

%c would need to be changed to %c%

Ok I dont get it, someone show me how the sorc.cmd script would be translated to SF.

For those of you who don't read any of the other boards except this one, I recomend using this nifty little thing. I imported all my 608 scripts for two characters in less than 5 minutes.
It can do names and highlights too with no problems at all.

Anyone have any stormfront scripts for the Rogue's Guild?
