I think that the main reason people aren't "sharing" thier scripts is that they're too MUD specific. Sure, I could release my whole collection, but they'd be useless to anyone without the same world as me. I'll admit that there is a bit of a learning curve, but all in all, its a lot simpler that writing a spec_proc. If people are interested in small generic samples, feel free to ask, once you know what's going on it's a breeze to do. As far as the documentation goes, I think it may help to add a few small examples for each trigger type, especially dealing with globlals and returns, it gets a litle vague in these areas. Overall, I think that the dg_scrips package is the best patch available for Circlemud, combined with olc it has the potential to make almost the entire MUD (as the players see it) completely original, without being a "c guru". Not that I believe that every mud should not have such a guru, but even so, it's a good introduction to procedural programming. My only piece of advice to ppl trying to learn how to write scripts is to experiment and learn from your mistakes. If you get stumped on an error, or something doesn't work like you think it should, then just ask... I believe there are many people on the list using this package who would be willing to lend some advice if a direct question is asked, myself included.
