Talk:Helpful Scripts
One question -- should relay override scripts be distinguished from those that create entirely new pages, or should we just rename them to "relay browser scripts" (or something like that)? (Asking because I'm not entirely sure where the ZLib variable editor would fall.) --Heeheehee 22:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- That's a toughie! Dunno. Maybe we should categorize relay overrides based on what they do, rather than the fact that they work with the relay browser. So, my Slime Tubing override would go into Turn-burning while zlib variable editor can go under... I dunno, just tuck it right under zlib and nobody will get too upset about it I guess... --Bale 07:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- I simply sorted them in function of the kolmafia subforum where they are located, but maybe other categories would be better, like "Quests", "Combat", "Relay Override", "User Interface Script", "Informational", "Libraries" etc... Slyz 08:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- Both suggestions have merit, but I'm leaning a bit closer toward "new category", if not only because the UI scripts need to go in the relay folder, as opposed to the scripts folder. --Heeheehee 02:15, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
- For everything other than UI scripts, the mafia subforum describes what they do. Even relay override scripts have the common element of modifying the KoL interface. However, the UI scripts do such wildly different things that they break the meaning of the categorization. Perhaps we'll just let UI scripts wander around this list based on their purpose. --Bale 09:07, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Also, what format should we make the standard? Already I see two different ones:
autoBasement - (download here) Author: Rinn
and
ZLib by Zarqon (download here)

- That was kinda a work in progress. I never intended to leave it with two different formats, I just ran out of time and had to quit half-way. It's settled now. Does it look good? --Bale 07:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- Yup, looks great! (Also, I guessed that was the case after looking at the revision history a bit more carefully but wasn't entirely sure.) --Heeheehee 02:15, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I saw Icon315's edit to add his Daily Info script and thought that maybe script authors shouldn't put their own scripts on this page.
I don't have anything against Daily Info of course, and the original list was very subjective to start with, but I think we should put here other people's scripts that we think would be useful to a large community of Mafia users. Otherwise this page would end up being too big to actually be useful. Any thoughts on this?--Slyz 14:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
