[Lua Team] Blua : The Return

[BrantX]

Information:
I am proud to re-announce the return of Blua. Blua is a Blizz-Like[Close-To Blizzard] Lua Scripting Project/Team. Our goal of Blua, is still, To make your server achieve "As Close To Retail" stances. What is different now is that we have dropped some "time-consuming" goals, and shortened it out by a great measure. We use a SVN to commit our Lua Scripts, so that you can gain these scripts. To make sure our scripts are the best blizz-like scripts you can get, we make sure they're close to retail as possible, by this we have sources from : Retail, Yes we record data from it. WoWHead, gain abilities from this. Youtube/etc etc, gain a better view from it.

-->More Information!<--

History:
Blua was formed back in '08, During it's Alive spree Blua has been changed tremendously and has put up with ALOT of challenges, trying to get near Lua++ at the time, we tried our hardest to get close to their ranks. Blua was in development for atleast a year, bringing us to '09. This year was the hardest for Blua, thus reasoning the disbandment of Blua. When this occured, AscendScripting was formed, for mainly all Emulators, as all predicted. It didn't last to long. It died 1/5th of '09 and then banished. Now, in the new year of '10, Blua has returned!

Sick :P can you make this lau engine support arc 1562 (2.4.3) im willing to pay for it as the basic one that comes with arc is terrible , would make it a hell of a lot easier to script basic mobs and some quests

thx .

1) Make sure you add bug checkers so that people don't get spams of errors when things go wrong, e.g:

Instead of: pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(11, pUnit:GetClosestPlayer())

Do:

local plr = pUnit:GetClosestPlayer()
if plr ~= nil then
pUnit:FullCastSpellOnTarget(11, plr)
end

This should be a requirement for blizzlike servers due to a spam being caused in most scripts otherwise.

2) Keep instances to one file instead of 50 different files for one boss fight or instance, there's no need to spread them out, it just makes it confusing.

3) Don't commit stuff that is unstable/not tested/not there, e.g:

A - Commit a empty folder called Mana Tombs if there's nothing scripted for it.
B - Commit a half finished Lua or one that is unfinished into main folders.

4) Hire people who can script, not people who can make a boss cast a spell and think their uber l33t.


Just stating some of my opinions that are a must for this project to be any good, I remember Blua when it ran a year or two ago.

I know how to do nil checks, Stoneharry.
Thanks for the advice.

Why not join our team at ArcScripts and work with Parox and Hypersniper??
Hearthstone/Aspire is dead....

Have to agree.

Why not join our team at ArcScripts and work with Parox and Hypersniper?

You may want to consider joining ArcScripts, instead of having yet another svn people have to go searching for to get a couple of scripts.

Submitted my application.
