The issue isn't broken scripts, I feel like nobody really read the original post. The issue is people who buy scripts and then the scripts become broken. The issue is NOT people buying broken scripts.

Ohh that makes sense. The answer is simple.

You take the broken script and give it to some S2 to fix it and maintain it. 

You own all the source on the SDN so you have the power to do this.

Give it to some s2, what if no s2 wants to do it? Ever thought about that?

If the script breaks in the first place, it's usually due to the script being written poorly (unless a very large game mechanic changed). In which case an S2 may not make it better, especially with the widely varying coding styles. Essentially scripts would have to be re-written. Aside from this fact, how would I determine which lucky scripter 2/3 gets the script? It would then be playing into favorites because we would essentially just be handing people a bucket of money.

yeah but what incentive can you give someone whos in his final year of university/starts working fulltime so he has no time to work on his scripts or simply wants to focus on more important things in life?

I highly doubt that even czar or khaleesi make enough money from their sales for them to prioritise osbot over a fulltime job/uni if they have to decide.

You seriously underestimate how much money you can make from script development. I wouldn't be surprised if both of them were pulling in $3-5 grand per month.

OT: I feel like this whole idea of an "Official Script" is needlessly complex and really doesn't make sense. Just have script developers agree to relinquish all rights to their work in the event that, I don't know, their script breaks for longer than 30 days. You could then just pawn the script off onto whoever (I'm assuming OSBot isn't ever going to be without at least one developer) and now they have the rights to that script, it's revenue, users, etc.

Hmm why not add official scripts but not make them sellable, only authable as compensation? This way scripters win, devs win, and users win..

As for scripts being barebones, from a marketing point of view a script labelled as 'Official' will outrank any full-featured script by far, which means no matter how many features my woodcutter has, if yours has the name official in front of it, and has the main (the popular) trees, guess which one is getting more sales..

EDIT:

As for sdn time, when is an SDN officer going to be recruited? Less power than an sdn manager but useful for outsourcing some of scripter management (sdn upload requests, guiding them etc). I remember the rank was announced last year but nothing ever happened, not even more dialogue. Can there at least be a movement or some dialogue on choosing an sdn officer in the script developers section?

As far as i don't see client in mint condition, i don't support any ideas that removes devs time from client.

I doubt they're pulling that kind of cash anymore. Maybe in the beginning but not anymore. Their scripts are a one time fee, not a monthly subscription.

I've sold scripts on multiple sites (including this one). Trust me, they're making at least that much.

Can y'all at least get mirror mode to work on Mac or at all lol.

Wrong section and has nothing to do with this topic. Also you were not specific at all, not sure if MGI should bring the crystal ball out. Post in the mirror mode section.

It does, and I did.

This topic is about official scripts, you are talking about mirror mode. The two are unrelated.
