What I’ve Learned About Script Lending?

Learning to script lend in SL can be a bit daunting at first, but once you get into the swing of things it becomes very easy. There are several ways you can do script lending over different means of communication: IM, email, etc. This article is intended to give newcomers a basic understanding on script lending and hopes to reduce some of the confusion and anxiety that might result from script lending for the first time.

There are 3 types of script lenders you will find in SL: script borrower (SB), script lender (SL), and script tester (ST). The function of the SB is to borrow scripts from an SL to use for creating their objects/avatars while they test them so that they can decide if they want to buy script licenses from the script creator. The function of the ST is simply to test scripts for a script borrower (SB) and provide feedback. The function of the SL is a bit more involved, so let’s break it down into steps to better understand: Step 1 : Find someone who wants their avatar or object scripted.

Step 2 : Download the script they want to use in SL, unpack it if necessary, and save it on your desktop or in an easy-to-access folder on your computer. Remember where you put it because you will need this script again later.

Step 3 : Using notecard version or IM script lending option, type out all of the commands that are inside of that script so that you have it memorized.

Step 4 : Open your script editor (I use script pro, which is a script pack I bought from the script lending store).

Step 5 : Copy and paste all of the commands that you wrote out into the script editor, deleting any script comments in between each command. Also delete any line breaks or line spaces that might exist in between the copy/pasted commands so that everything is consecutive with no gaps. This step requires a bit more words to explain than I would like because script editors are different for everyone, but if you have some understanding of scripting then this shouldn’t be too difficult to understand. If not, maybe ask someone who knows how to script edit inside their script editor to help you do this step.

Step 6 : Save your script with the name of the script borrower (SB) you are working for and a version number. For example, if I am borrowing the “Linden Hair” script by Linden Labs to use in my object/avatar, I will save it as: LindenHair_test1byMyName. Remember where you saved this script! You might need it again later!

Step 7 : Now that your script has been copied and pasted into an actual script which can be used on objects/avatars in SL, now comes the fun part – testing it out on an object or avatar to make sure everything works properly before giving it back to script borrower (SB). Be sure to select the script tester (ST) script in whatever script editor you are using so that the script borrower script can be tested properly.

Step 8 : Test all of the functions listed in the script and make sure everything is working right (movement, wearability, etc.). Use this time to also figure out any little kinks or quirks that might exist with certain things not working right if they are not listed in the script comments or if it’s not obvious what’s wrong with them. Test for one complete loop around an object/avatar and see if anything breaks. If something does break, move on quickly because there is no point in getting frustrated now. This step probably requires more words than I would like as well, but script testers are different from script borrowers so you might not be able to understand my explanation.

Step 9 : Once this testing has been conducted, a script borrower (SB) will probably want to know how much it would cost to buy a script like this for one avatar or object. Use your script pricing guide that you bought at the script lending store and figure out what you think would be an appropriate price point for a script borrower (SB). For example: “Linden Hair” script costs L$4000 per use on 1 avatar/object. Then, use script editor checkbox like checkered flag option to change all of the scripts where script borrower (SB) is listed as creator into script borrower (SB), but nothing else in the entire script.

Conclusion That was easy for you to read and probably took a lot longer than it would take to actually execute all of those steps in SL. There are some good scripts out there that people can borrow and you have nothing to lose by letting them try it out first before buying but be careful because any number of things could go wrong when doing this, even if you have tested other borrowed scripts from reputable script borrowers before. Don’t start troubleshooting unless repeated attempts fail, because the script may not work for others without script borrower (SB) having sufficient script knowledge to debug it. Script borrowers can be malicious script borrowers or they could give the script you borrowed back with a total mess and then your name would be tied to that script. Nobody wants that happening to them, so just use common sense when dealing with script borrowers!
