    zc00gii, it is a slightly more elegant method that what we currently have BUT the idea of a scripting language is that those who don't know how to program would be able to easily create, debug, and implement their own elements, with only a text editor.

    Using dynamic libraries you have to have programming experience and a number of tools to create them, using my scipting language you can edit a text file then run TPT.

    How is the publishing of the source code going?

    Seems like the best option so far. Is it easy to implement on each of the major OSs?

    Same idea.
    Build a framwork with a core-plugin.
    Allow other plugins be loaded.

    But the problem with DLL's is that you have to know a programming language that can be compiled into DLL's. The point of a scripting language is to eliminate the need for third party software and programming knowledge.

    Scripting languages still require programming knowledge.

    You gotta be kidding me, right?
