Bad script cloning thread

Last read Never
#1

Are you an aspiring developer that wants to remake bad scripts that got accepted but are clearly not worth the money? Well you've come to the right thread. This is a thread dedicated to making "free" version of other scripts on this site.

You can reply with your own scripts, but I'll start:


Original:

a


Remake:

Video took 600% more time to make than the script. https://s3.scriptfodder.com/script_banners/cc89cdd00c114a122a659745cfac25b5_full.png


Demonstrational video


Description:

You can use my system to edit the spawns of loot on your maps. Having the ability to choose the time of the loot between 0 seconds to whenever you want, once you have everything placed all works in an automated way. (Through the magic of GLUA) As a bonus that's not really a bonus, my system can also spawn npcs. Everything that is spawnable in the category of entity and everything else that is in gmod except vehicles may be added to the if.


Extra-Description:

  1. No need for much lua knowledge.
  2. Works with all gamemodes and maps.
  3. This is not a DLC, it's a complete script and separate from my other ones.
  4. Compatible with any administrative addons.
  5. The system works automatically. When you configure it, you can forget about it and let LUA run.
  6. It's not possible to accidentally delete the spawn when it's enabled.
  7. Compatible with ServerGuard Since forever.
  8. Not for vehicles.
  9. Can be used for Npcs.

Like that script made by that bad dev but the same for free.

Hopefully this will end this drought in script quality.

This is the "clone" of Permanent properties. They are both the same script, and lapin did it first. They both let you buy houses and keep them when you leave, they both let you own all the doors.

This is the original one, done by lapin. This one allows you to do a little more, but they are BASICALLY the same script.

What are your thoughts on this?

These 3 addons are all different. RocketMania's is very overpriced and well, outdated. This is an alternative for William's House Rent system which includes an NPC aswell: https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1400737

And Lapins system looks pretty cool but more for bigger maps like evocity etc. And I am pretty sure there is a free alternative on RocketMania's script..

Edited By the way amazing thread. I agree, I don't see why that addon from Nordahl got accepted in the first place. I mean: https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1324/safe-zone-customizable-spheric-system- https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1364/safe-zone-customizable-cubic-system-

https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1512/job-agenda-editor-25-days-of-the-week- https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1524/event-planning-editor-27-notifier- I see a difference but it is still quite.. Well, I don't know but he doesn't make original scripts that should be sold.

https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1545/youtube-server-control-system-24-free-update- https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1374/ambiance-server-manager-23-

You should make more to release for free, here are a few cheap addons you should remake: https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1573/to-do-list-manager-27- Time and Days of the week - This actually gave me cancer.

Permanent Lawboards - Ever heard of PermaProps?

Medic Kits & NPC - Alternative #1 - Actually shows NPC & UI - Alternative #2 - Actually shows NPC & UI - Alternative #3 - Alternative #4 Door Display - Isn't this a 5 second script? I mean changing the door interface. I don't have much coding experience but this looks like such a simple addon. DarkRP HUD As the addon says, looks like a default darkrp HUD.. Dat banner though Custom Ban Message - 2 dollars for something that is kinda already installed on ULX.. Permanent Stuff Placed - I repeat, ever heard of PermaProps? And my god 7 dollars?!

This is my opinion and I hope I am not spreading hate now. But in my opinion some of these are really too simple and should no longer be sold. I am not talking about all of them, but again, this is my opinion and I might post a thread of alternatives of scripts for poor people or customers that look for something different.

Again love y'all <3

You need to understand that most of the scripts you linked were made 2+ years ago. Standard have changed quite a lot since then. Most of these scripts would not be accepted today. And it's unfair to argue that the scripts should be disabled. People will vote with their money, no need to disable them. If they're bad, no one will buy them.

But your version doesn't have VGUI menu? Unlike 'original', clients would hafta find actual coordinates and write them manually? Can't see how its better than the original.

Spawn Point Editor

Features lacking:

  1. Can't easily move loot points around
  2. Can't easily copy loot points
  3. Can't randomize between different loot

You didn't improve the script, just super simplified it.

Did you even watch the demonstration video? Even if it didn't have a console command to do all the stuff for you, its not like its difficult to type "getpos" in console anyways.

The point of Nordahl's scripts was user-friendly UI so they could be used by mere admins in-game, not a developer with an access to FTP/server. For example, Nordahl's spawn point could be placed by admin ingame and changes would be made without having to restart the map. I could make different events without restarting the map! Only now noticed Nordahl isn't active anymore, wtf happened? And here I thought at least gmodstore saved from weather >_>

All his scripts got disabled for being bad and not following the gmodstore standards.

His scripts are working at least, unlike yours :P Seriosly, I learned of SF because of spawn points the server I played on used. And as far as I know there's no russian server (in swrp at least) that doesn't use them. I can only imagine what happened if Nordahl decided to turn off his remote drm system. Take no offense, but your scripts in first post are no match for his.

#19

I mean, you couldn't be more wrong

Nordahl's scripts worked, but they "worked" horribly. The reason I made bWhitelist was because I got requests to make it because Nordahl's script wouldn't stop crashing servers and slowing them down... I'm sure more of his other scripts did the same shit, but I wouldn't know, because I actually buy quality scripts.

Eventually, Nordahl's scripts will be remade by others who can actually code and hopefully, servers should catch on and use the new systems, which are obviously going to be better. His code was horrifying, and shouldn't've been accepted in the first place, really.

None of the scripts on this thread were made to be sold, that's why they're free. The point is, the scripts made here are showing that the scripts they're remakes of don't really need to be sold, as free alternatives could easily be made. Of course they will be "no match" for Nordahl's scripts, as those scripts have been commercially set up so that they can be configured and deployed on masses of servers. Nobody is really "trying" here, and if they were, they would've released them on gmodstore for a premium, or at least released them on the Workshop or something.

You forgot this: https://github.com/Velkon/Velkon-text-hat

Reflects the quality of most of these clones. e.g. https://github.com/Velkon/Friend-InviteV/blob/Add-files/addons/friendinvite_v/lua/autorun/server/sv_finvite_v.lua: no error handling or retries on the http requests, using :Nick() for unique timers (good luck on RP where two calls to :Nick() can return different stuff). You get what you pay (or don't pay) for.

Appreciate the motive to get more quality in scripts but maybe create high quality scripts instead of even worse remakes of scripts that you think already are bad.
