I've noticed that for people who know about the enemy of the month competitions, like ywkls and TabletPillow, they use enemies/bosses from these competitions in their quests. However, I've noticed that some of these enemies, despite apparently being fully usable as seen in these quests, are not on the PureZC script database.

Moosh, Dimentio, Arceus, grayswandir, Lejes, Yloh, Orithan, Eddy, Joelmacool, Jamian, and Freya are some of the people who I've seen downloadable entries for that are only on the forums and not the database. I would like to request all these users to post the scripts on the database, if they feel that they are ready to be used.

Hm, I'll look through my submissions and see if there's any. Some people uploaded stuff that's not very usable, despite the intention of the contest in the first place.

A fair number of them were usable, but they require very specific quest setups. Many had various requirements that were not provided, and some were posted only as a quest, without the original script.

 

Note that not posting things into the database is often a way of stating: `I will not support using this.`. Scripters who wanted to make something available, but not support anyone using it, would post it to the scripting forums as ad-hoc content, or to one of those monthly things. Putting them into the database under the name of the scripter would not be welcomed by many people, as then they'd be flooded with support issues. 

 

This is why only a tiny portion of my content is in the database. Heck, I don't want to write up the setup details for all of that content, for non-scripters to make use of it.

But yes, I agree.

For the EotM scripts that I have that are not on the database (which is all of them except my Ice Lynel lol); they haven't been fully polished and I haven't bothered to polish them fully. I don't know when I am going to get around to doing that but it probably won't be soon.

The Ice Lynel script on the database is a much more polished version of my EotM submission. Anyone using the EotM submission of my Ice Lynel should update it to the one in the database because it is a lot more flexible and well polished and the old version will be unsupported.

I hope that either in the 2.55 betas or once 2.55 is complete that people submit more scripts to the database besides an update to Newbie Boss, I haven't seen a single enemy/boss script get submitted since I joined over a year ago. This is partly why I asked about why nobody had submitted their forum scripts.

I'll be sure to submit all the enemy scripts from MM, probably all in one package alongside the release, with the setup instructions included in a txt file in the zip package. They'll all be 2.55 npc/eweapon scripts, with no reliance on ghost.zh (As soon as NPC scripts were added, I removed my `import "ghost.zh"` line completely as one of the first things)
