Talk:Wish List

Sign additions to page?

Should we sign our additions to this page? Mrflippy 12:54, 10 April 2006 (EDT)

I don't know, I signed mine but I also referenced them in another talk page (Magic Effects). I think a got a little carried away with my list. I tried starting a thread on the forum for new functions a week ago but it was generally ignored. Too much traffic on there anyway, this list is better... I should note the reasoning for everything I suggested is point blank to simplify scripting. The more we can minimize the required use of hacks, workarounds, and excessively large scripts the better. At the same time there is a lot of room for improvement and a number of nearly required functions that are just missing (e.g. companion share). --MegaBurn 04:38, 13 April 2006 (EDT)

Sort list by priority?

I'd want a list sorted by priority. The Item/Inventory Scan (is in list, but missing proper description) and Object/Cell Scan (not on list so far) functions are almost mandatory functions. The possibility to determine the type of a ref (e.g. potion, weapon, armor, ...) also is (and not on the list).

Also missing is GetSoundPlayed. I'd like to have sections "(was) in Morrowind" and maybe "(was) in MW Script Extenders". I will add the missing ones later, but I wanted to state that Devs should see what is HIGHLY important (companion share is, too).

There could be an engine-bug priority listing (broken functions to be fixed) for both CS and Scripting. No Quest Bugs.

I'd suggest in order to determine the priority we list the nicknames here and everyone can choose 3 top priority wishes in every category (General/Scripting). All four paragraphs by -- Grey 21:54, 16 April 2006 (EDT)

Priority listing sounds to me like a great excuse for an edit war. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic. I like the thought of "Was in Morrowind/Script Extender", though. Grundulum 23:01, 19 April 2006 (EDT)

I agree. Whats important to one person may not be important to another. I think just asking people to think long and hard on the stuff they request would be a better solution. Increasing the amount of discussion for this list would be good too. Then when someone makes a request they had better be ready to justify the need for implementing it. That said, I'll read over everything I suggested and move stuff that seems less important or unrealistic to the discussion page. --MegaBurn 10:05, 20 April 2006 (EDT)
