I've decided to update NudgeScriptTools for WLM 2011, I call it Nudger. Ran into a few compatibility problems oddly enough, but ironing those out Screenie below.



I'm a new dev/script creator, go easy . Doing this by popular request

Errrm, have you asked permission to TheGuruSupremacy to use his code and republish his script under a different name?

First of all, no, I haven't asked for his permission. But I'd never steal other peoples work and rebrand it as my own code, he made it so I'm crediting him in every way possible. If I get into contact with him, I'll ask him.

And that was only the first stage (stripping version checking). It actually doesn't seem to nudge multiple times at all; Microsoft have changed WLM2011 considerably.

In another thread you're saying you're "fairly new to scripting etc". As such I very strongly recommend not to alter other people's scripts. Especially not if you don't (yet) have permission from them and especially in such advanced scripts as the ones from TheGuruSupremacy!!! You should not alter something you don't fully and truly understand how it works. No offense though.

I don't know how all of it works, but I understand a good lot, just leave me be to learn and you may be suprised at what I achieve

That's a great attitude Fike and I encourage your effort in updating an otherwise lost script!

However, it is in fact not really ethically to actually change someone's script and give it a different name, is it? You should rather just publish the updated code here on the forum without changing anything else. By uploading it under a different name, some people might get the impression that you're the original author, even if you've given credit.

At the very least, you should call it something along the lines of "NudgesToolsScripts Updated."

In it's current state, I'd even vote for having this script, "Nudger," to be removed from the database.. unless actually given permission by original Author. This would be a shame to an otherwise helpful script update though.

Thanks

I'm not currently working on it, I've got millions of things to be working on at the moment. Will work on it tomorrow.

And yes, you are right, and I shall rename the script. I probably won't release it on the database (I've heard rumours the original dev will update it ASAP) but once finished I'll upload as an attachment here .

Okay, hypothetically, I'd vote for this script to not be allowed to be published in it's current state. (No matter if it would or wouldn't anyway.)

That sounds great and I look forward to seeing your progress in scripting... Perhaps soon we will see your very own scripts appear?

Ok. I made a bad entrance to the community, I'm sorry.

Yessir!

I've found the perfect way to make a good start, if I complete it I'll submit to the database

Great idea. Cant wait.

Any updates?

What's happening with this script?

Please respond.

AFAIK, he didnt put any license on the script or anything. He can copy and paste it, rename it, and call it his own.

Dirty? Yes of course. But we are talking morals here, not legal.

I say go for it since the original author doesnt want to update it. And we will thank YOU not the original author.

Congratulations in mingling into a conversation which is almost 1 year old and replying to a post completely out of context. Nobody is talking 'legal' here, as you may read from all the further posts in this thread.
