Talk:Softcode

From Serenity : The Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

A few thoughts:

  1. Should this page maybe be split into two? One for info on how softcode works and one for useful commands?
  2. Should all the commands on this page use trees (cmd`<name>), or should they look like (cmd_<name>)?
    1. I personally prefer the former because it makes 'ex me' a lot less spammy. Any arguments for the latter?
    2. Is it worth making all the commands conform to one of these two styles, or is that more work than it's worth?

  1. Splitting the page into how-to and useful may not be a bad idea.
  1. Yes, the code should be uniform in one format or the other.
    1. If the code that runs softcodes will scan the branches, then the only problem I see with using trees is that this is the basic coding page. Bringing in the tree usage may cause a bit more confusion. Granted, it's unlikely that someone who's going to just cut & paste for the useful code is unlikely to look for the code in their attr tree, and anyone who is going to look is likely to understand the trees anyway.
    2. Creating it using trees will clarify which commands are part of a single group - IE the disarm command is not currently tied with the arm commands in the cmd* list.
