This is for HELP like, "I don't know the No jet player type Armor name, could someone tell me please?"
Not for tutorials.

No, that would be the wrong kind of help. That's something you could easily find out on your own and not waste our time with.

[Space Guy]

This is for help like, "I've had a go myself at making a player type that drops their weapon when clicked on using this code. [...] It's not working and is [coming up with these errors/not functioning/crashing/etc.]. I've tried several fixes [...] and they haven't worked. What am I doing wrong/how can I solve this sort of problem"

Open source? Really?

Using [quote] instead of [code] so that I can make it fixed width or else the simpleHelp header looks all weird.

It's really cute when kids go and throw huge copyright notices on things so everyone knows they made it.

The RTB doc-block just contains auto-generated versioning information. Atleast try and get it right when you decide you want to bump a month-old thread to try and call me out as a hypocrite.

Simple Help was made by a member of the Scattered Space Community. He and the other SS members don't want the SS name to be lost.

[Ephialtes]

Sure, so write "by the SS clan" in it - you don't need to reserve your add-on's rights or throw it under an EULA. If anyone did decide to steal it, there's nothing you can do so it's entirely pointless.

Though ScatteredSpace does employee the use of scripts written by Mr. Doom that contain an EULA, I do not approve of the process. Not only is the code completely in plain-text for anyone to read and modify, but enforcing the EULA rules in such a scenario is very much impossible.

Not to mention that, in the blockland licence agreement, it says that all modifications made for blockland are owned by Badspot.

Way to bump the topic.

Why don't people encrypte it? I mean, its pretty simple if you own a copy of an TGE(A) game thats not already encrypted. Any file you compile will create a DOS (DSO?) I forget, but who cares. Then, just use that. I've never tried it though, nothing I make is public, but does it work? Seemes useful...
