ez11 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 for example like this: Just automatically showing version and last time it has been updated. Would be helpful but idk how easy it would be to show it on the site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzzerd Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 but then people would stop buying dead scripts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadPk3r Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Would be useful i believe they use to have it say the version, i myself for my scripts just add version to GUI title so people can see when i've updated my scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supamen Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) +1 nothing worse than outdated script. Edited July 21, 2018 by Supamen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apaec Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I can see why you think it would be useful, but here's a couple of issues I can see: Some scripts rarely need updating as they are reliably written to begin with, meaning 'last update' should not be used to gauge script quality Scripters could (very easily) push bogus updates to make the script seem more actively maintained -Apa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more thinking about the situation where a scripter pushes an update and posts it in his topic and you wanna know when its on sdn. Currently you have to start the client every few hours to check (assuming i didnt miss any other way to figure out script version) could obviously be fixed by just having the version number if the time since last update is an issue Edited July 21, 2018 by ez11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't touch a script if the maker hasn't been online in 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't touch a script if the maker hasn't been online in 6 months. For sure! I think the best way to gauge the up-to-date-ness of a script is to have a look at the script thread and see if the scripter is active there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckyQ Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Will be good to see if the dev is still actually maintaining the script Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
