C# and JavaScript are the languages currently being used for scripts. We will be able to script our own, although I'm not sure if we will have a specific tool for it. Once a player writes a script they will submit it to Soulbound for testing. Once it's approved, making sure it doesn't create performance issues, it will be added to that players library. Scripts can be shared or kept secret.

Cool. Might get back into those a bit then. Not written either in a long time.

I had a feeling if it was going to be written in a language instead of using a tool we would use C# or JavaScript as they are well known and powerful object oriented languages. Does this mean all scripts will be play tested by either the developers or approved community members?

I'm very curious as to how they plan to manage submissions. I imagine there will be lot of them. Hundreds, or even thousands, in the beginning.

I expect there to be a slew of preset scripts for things like training weapons, defense, vendors, etc.

Stupid of me not to think of that, it's the only sensible option. Thank you for the response.

How in-depth can we expect automated feedback on unapproved scripts to be? For example, if we create a script that neglects to cover an important function, would the program tell us so when it rejects our script? For example, if the script is missing something it needs to work, or some vital element of character survival/functionality. Would these be problems the approval program can test, something we might see a guide for on the forums, or simply something we'd have to sort through ourselves?

I would say sort it out yourself. Or stick to the scripts other people wrote that work and are available for use.

What happens when the automated system approves a submission with a rat subroutine installed?

Hopefully, scripting will be more user friendly and not require studying these computer languages to script. Or maybe basic tutorials can be made to accompany scripting.
