Why is that 1/2 of all the script in repository are worthless... Or sometimes even worse than worthless. What is it that makes people share a script that hasn't got anything going for it.
I mean i've seen it all by now, from people who do a scriptjob to update something that should have been handled with a particle expression, with 250 lines less code and 1000 times faster. Code that makes everything it ever needs as a global var? Sometimes the scripts come in a form which is to be sourced in order for use with no formal in point, or even any no consideration of deployment.
Worst of all then the users who don't seemingly care give 5 stars to the stuff.
Is it too much asked to:
- Make sure you don't pollute the global proc and viable space unnecessarily
- Keep the initials in front of everything that does not to pollute the space to minimize clash
- Have a clearly defined deployment strategy
- Some analysis on the usefulness and capabilities, limitations
- Bring in something maya does not have or which at least is hard to cope with.
- Some consideration on modullarity, guis not everything. Im inclined to say even one very good script halts on this point very BADLY (which is realy sad).
- only post scripts that take more than 10 minutes to do, if so they could post them as somesort of nice stuff collections instead of one script.
So why is tit that people seem to think the script repository is a place to drop all adhoc scripts they ever drop to their shelves for 3 hours of repeated use.
I mean there are certain SCRIPTS that get written over and over again and worse with every iteration it seems.
Do i need to say more? Anyway should we compile some list of WELL done and planned scripts,
