In all sub-forums of the Scripting section, you are still bound to follow all of rAthena Board Rules

1.Do not release scripts that are not of your own creation unless you can provide evidence of explicit permission from the original author to do so

2. Attempt to post your script in the proper section. If you're not certain as to where to post it, feel free to ask one of the Moderators

3. Your script release should contain at the very least a 3-4 sentence description that states what your script does.

4. Attempt to have multiple hosts for your scripts as to prevent dead links. 3 or more links are ideal. [ Hosting Sites ]

5. Links to your script should directly provide the script without the need for registration.
Hosting your script in X Site and requiring users to register to see the script is not permitted.

6. Do not use code tag or codebox tag to release your script.

7. Your script should not contain any malicious code or produce the name of any servers in game where it will be visible to other players.

8. Your script release should be tested, polished, map-server error free, and debugged fully or to a certain extent prior to release.

9. Do not create topics in this section asking for support or requesting for scripts.

10. Do not judge others script as being too simple.
The standard for scripts is decided by Scripting Moderators, inappropriate scripts will be removed by the staff.
If you think a script is not appropriate for release, hit the report button and it'll be reviewed by Scripting Moderators.

11. Do not simply state that there is an error or a bug in the script.
If there is an error, state what the error is.
If there is a bug, state as to how one can replicate the bug.

12. Do not post to simply state that the link is down.
The best course of action would be to send the author a Personal Message informing them that their link is down.
