I can't save my scripts...

[Kainashi Takaaki]

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else recently, but in the last few days, when I try to edit a script, I get a "unable to upload asset" message, and that's it, I can't save the scripts I edit, notecards are working fine, I can upload textures and modify all my builds, but the scripts give me that message...

I have tried to modify scripts in my inventory, in object's inventory, and I have even created new scripts, they all have failed, what could be the reason? what can I do?

Hello Kainashi, which Viewer are you using ? As of Server v1.27 only 1.22 and above viewers can upload scripts. Is this a Region-specific problem, have you tried uploading scripts in other Regions ?

thank you Ella, then it is my viewer, as my graphics card does not support a newer viewer, I use the Nicholaz Bleeding Edge viewer, based on 1.18... too bad for me, I can't use a newer viewer, so my scripting days are over for now  :-(

Maybe not. Don't uninstall the one you have, but go ahead and install a newer one. Play with the Graphic options in the preferences, start at the bottom of the spectrum as far as quality. Also go into your card's settings if possible and turn off anything that might be causing trouble. Play with the options, and you may yet get a newer client to work.

The reason I say this, is you can edit scripts using a text-only viewer, so there are always options. I've gotten viewers to work with VERY old proprietary compaq video cards, and connected with dial-up, and all sorts of things. There is definitely a wide range of what's possible, that you won't find in the "official" documentation..

Like ELQ says you can use some text based clients for editing and compiling scripts.  METABolt allows you to do this.  However you may want to try a 1.19 based client.  I have sucessfully used the 1.19 based CoolViewer for compiling scripts.

thank you SimonT (and ELQ too...), I've just downloaded the Cool Viewer and have been able to save a script!

Metabolt didn't work on my PC, no idea why...

thanks again!
