"Skripts" Should be banned from the Plugins thread and here's why...

[Ingots]

Hi, so I've recently been seeing an increase in so called "Skripts" coming into this thread. People claim that they're plugins when they're really not. They simply create a piece of code that hooks and depends on Skript otherwise it won't work. The worst part is for this simple form of coding, they're charging upwards of $30! into a existing plugin and requires it to work. A Plugin works for it's self and can hook into other plugins to enhance it's self.

Skripting in the end requires less effort and is less versatile than a plugin made in Java.
The thread is called Plugins and in my eyes, Skripts are just a "add-on" to an existing plugin that generally offer less than a plugin. Back to my starting point... I've seen may people be scammed as they think they're getting a plugin when they actually end up being disappointed and get a Skript. To combat this ban Skripts from the plugins thread or just create an independent Skripts part of the forum.

(If I've offended any "Skripters" in any way, I don't care... It's an opinion, deal with it everyone has one.)

Maybe we should just end this argument, the staff already added a skript tag under the plugins section.

I'm almost positive it could be recreated. What would be your main reason to say it couldn't be done?



Packets/NMS is limited, of course. But with the use of a custom addon, made by yourself or by another java developer anything is possible.

That's not made entirely in Skript though.

Well, obviously you've not done your research through Skripts community... No one takes the general Skript plugin seriously anymore. There's an endless amount of addons that have been made. Check out www.skunity.com to see all of the mainstream addons, and their documentation. Maybe it'll make you rethink skript entirely?

Here, how about this:

There can be a new section created for skript users.

They Will never match the quality and independency of a normal Java plugin. This is my point.

Yup.

Fair point, but no one ever said they would match Java's independence... Merely, they can mirror and features that a java plugin could produce.

There's a demand for it. Users buy these Skripts so therefore I think it should stay.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Denied.
