Submitting A Completed Script.

The purpose of this thread is to provide a template and some instruction to help you effectively present your script the best way you can. Keep in mind that the template provided in this topic is simply an example. You may style your script topics as you wish as long as it is readable and coherent.

 

IMPORTANT: If you have posted a script not made by you then make sure you receive permission from the script creator to post such script in the forum.

 

Full Template

Here is a full template on how to make an attractive thread for your script. Instruction is found after the template(and the example):

 

 

Script Name

Creator name

Category (makes it easier for me to place it some where in the master script list)

Version Number

 

---

Introduction

Script description/usage goes here. Be descriptive and give as much information as possible but do not go too in-depth, make it a 2-3 lines description(Recommended but not required).

 

---

Features

- List all your feature here.

- If your list is too big(+10 features),

- Then use the quote or spoiler tag(if spoiler tag is supported by the forum later).

---

 

Screenshots

Depending on the type of script it is as some scripts are impossible to post screenshots or video of due to the nature of the type of script you've posted. If it is screenshot/video possible, then Include around 2 screen shots of your script in action WITHIN spoiler tags.

 

---

How to Use

Give instruction on how to install and use the script. Also, make sure that you include the instruction in the script header(together with the version number and your name) so that the user can consult it when needed).

 

---

Demo

Make an empty project and include the script and extra resources(graphic, etc...). Make sure that you configure the demo to showcase all feature(or at least the max possible). Some script don't require demo cause they are just plug and play, so these script don't require a demo. Also, make sure that you include a couple of old version of the demo(for older version of the script), these do come handy in several situation.

 

Script

Make sure that you place your script using the code feature, do not use quotes. Again, if spoiler tag is available in the future then use the spoiler tag together with the code tag.

Extra Info

I has uploaded the template with all the formatting in a text file, you can get it: HERE

 

Uploading Screen Shots

Imageshack.us and photobucket.com are popular image hosting services. Upload all your images/screen shots as needed.

 

Uploading a demo

Upload all your demos and files at a reliable hosting website. Currently, you can't go wrong with either MediaFire.com (is very download-friendly), or Rapidshare.com, both of which offer 100MB uploads which is large enough for demos and even most full games created with RPG Maker! However for the best uploading site in opinion is Dropbox.

 

Regarding Scripts Hosted Elsewhere

We allow script topics here to redirect to other places where the script can be found such as blogs, websites, etc. Please have your links direct towards the actual script's page, not just the main webpage.

 

I'll update this thread and the template when needed. Use the template, you have nothing to lose!
