leaving squirrel soon [Unlocked]

[Mötley]

Well I came to the conclusion that I no longer want to script in squirrel.

My next project is LUA.

After I am done with my hash test server. I plan to release it as I noticed there are some scripters that should not be using sq lite.

As well there are a lot of people using hashes still that should be using better hashing methods instead(for many data usage reasons).

If anything I plan to return to update the script/add to it as it's a really fun script.

I have no intention of really playing the game (never really have).  Just learning the language. If anyone is interested in helping me with the final touches of the hash test server please PM me..

(The reason the last project was hashes were due to special thanks to Vrocker, Force, Stoku, for basically helping me learn squirrel, as well as all of the leftover script helps in LU that was aided by Thijn. So if it weren't for you guys I would of not gotten anywhere, Thank you!)

I think there's exactly 1 person using hashes to script their server in VC:MP, and that's you. Same with INIs

That's Where you are wrong with hashes.
I have actually taken the time to go around other servers to see what system they are using, and that would be somewhere around 6 server owners said there using FBS and other methods mixed with SQ_Lite( which is a terrible idea).

And I happened to find at least one in the threads there might be more.

It does not matter what methods you use, it is how you use them,
If you use them wisely anything can compete with the other, REGARDLESS of what someone says. Its what you can force the methods to do.
I do not use Ini anymore unless I have positions to save I will use ini so its faster to grab compared to using print.. and wb+ to clear the server log.


I have taken the time to read threw all of the server releases and I have not seen "1" server that is so simple that any newbie etc could script and learn,. The objective is to keep the server as close to Sq_Lite threw just fancy classes in squirrel. Once the build is done I plan to attempt to downgrade to match up with @Fuzzie account system so when they learn the typical methods of Getting data

Code Select Expand

HGet and Adding the values in

Code Select Expand

HAddWith simple learning methods of how to use classes, as well as once I downgrade as close as possible to Fuzzie's system the system will be ready when the scripter is ready to take on learning SQ_Lite which the scripter will have a very similar system, and has already understood usages of classes and other basic scripting Plus hopefully more.

I would love to make my own functions
Even the JSON module would a great replacement over INIs and Hashes, probably.
