i had a quick question that might sound a bit dumb, but i was wondering why is it that whenever i look through the forums or the chdk site or others for scripts i can find script coding, however i can almost never find the actual files, the build i get for my S5IS comes with some basic ones that dont really work an ive downloaded a few like intravolmeter and and most seem to be a ".bas" extension, however the most interesting scripts i tend to find only posting of the code alone, why is that? is there some sort of camera specific problem that we have to build the code ourselves everytime?
so without too much flaming as i have and will continue after posting this to search the forum, i ask for quick help on these questions:
1.) file dump of scripts, do they exists? where can i download scrips allready made without trolling the interwebs for hours,,
2.) if above not true do i simply copy and paste the coding found in each forum and paste it into notepad and save as a .bas or .lua whatever
2a.) if so above, some scripts have a multiple sections of coding, do i put all in same file? i.e.
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/UBASIC/Scripts:_Ultra_Intervalometer theres a section of coding, then stops, then another section of coding, is the first section an addendum that must be inserted somewhere into code?
2b.) if not above do i need aprogram to compile coding? VB? xcode?...
sections like 2a are the reason i get stumped at compiling the code given, the [admin: avoid swearing please] is allways like "heres the code, but no wait this code works, but oh yeah try this instead" its never a firm definite, finished "heres the final code, thats it" which is why i was asking for question 1, does someone have or can someone post or can you email allready finished links of scripts that would work for the S5is? it seems like it would make sense to have a site or page similar to the
http://mighty-hoernsche.de/ CHDK autobuild Download area where theres a listing of cameras you can click, then from there, theres a listing of scripts that will work on that camera, without the heres the script you build it yourself followed by the thousand flames of how he did it wrong and should do it this way, eff all that mess. you have to have the files on your camera, which means you have to had allready compiled them, cant you just upload them, or email them to me and ill post them on my server for everyone else to download?
oh yeah and, thanks in advance
