Alek Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm sure many of you have already noticed, a rank change took place over this weekend. The purpose of this change was to tackle two issues: 1. The very large gap between SDN Scripter and Official Script Developer. 2. New scripters releasing premium scripts. By breaking down the scripter community into three tiers instead of two, we were able to solve pretty much everything. The breakdown: Scripter I Entry-level rank and assigned to scripters upon the release of their first script. Benefits include client VIP privileges; must maintain an active script on the SDN. Scripter II Scripter I members may apply for this rank provided they have at least one month on the forums. At this point in time they are assigned a test based on Java and the OSBot API. A passing score of 4/5 is required, failed tests result in test cooldowns. Benefits include VIP client privileges and the ability to release premium scripts. Must maintain an active script on the SDN. Scripter III Scripter II members may apply for this rank provided they have at least three months on the forums. Selection process is very competitive and can take anywhere between two months to over a year. The application is multi-faceted and is geared toward grading a scripter as a programmer. Benefits include VIP client privileges, ability to release premium script, and the opportunity to work in special duties such as SDN Manager. Provided there are no pending disciplinary actions, does not need to maintain an active script on the SDN. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xarziv Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I still don't have my Scripter rank III yet. I have the best chicken killer in town. Nice update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixthissite Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) provided they have at least three months on the forumsDoes this mean a non-rank who decides to become a scripter after 3 months could apply for Scripter 3? Sounds more logical to base it on SDN experience.the opportunity to work in special dutiesDoes this only include SDN Manager/Developer? Or are you planning on adding more ranks/duties in the future?

Alek Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Does this mean a non-rank who decides to become a scripter after 3 months could apply for Scripter 3? Sounds more logical to base it on SDN experience. Does this only include SDN Manager/Developer? Or are you planning on adding more ranks/duties in the future? You can only apply for Scripter 3 as a Scripter 2. The Scripter 2 rank checks Java knowledge with practical OSBot API application. Developer is not on the table as a special duty. SDN Manager is considered a special duty; at one point in time API Developer and Random Event Scripter was too. There may be a few new special duties in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might split the workload a bit. apa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alek Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Do you think it would be advantageous to have more than just 1 SDN manager?

Apaec Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 No, if you have issues with SDN management let me know. I don't have any issues at all, I just think that it might take some pressure off the eric atm. Plus it would mean we could potentially get more frequent pushes. Not that the current schedule is bad, just the more pushes the merrier ;pp apa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
