OK, well - that was easier than expected. I set myelf a specific hurdle to overcome each time and todays has been overcome. I can compile my scripts, so they can stay messy with variables declared that I no longer use and suchlike without embarrasing me too much, and it'll be harder for people to compalin that my coding is too convoluted/simple. I can call the scripts from library thumbs, which is A Good Thing so they don't have to be in a specific runtime or anything, and I can select what file to save to using a file browser.

 

How much documentation are we going to need for people to use this? A multi-line .txt file, one-page PDF showing them what to do, or do I need a figure with extra TVSet so they can practice and see that it works before getting into the deep and and modifying UVs themselves?

 

I THINK I can explain what the scripts do and how to use them in just a few lines of text, but a PDF with images would obviously be prettier (and larger than the actual scripts LOL).

 

I have yet to creat a "final" loader - there will be two, in fact. One will bring up a browsing window, like the save script does, and the other will specify a particular filename so that you can use a modified copy of the (not-compiled) script to double-click-load a specific TVSet.

 

Hmmm - a PDF manual might be best... comments appreciated.

 

Cheers,
