*facepalm* how many times do i have to tell you most servers are 3zr2. 3zr2 servers use PAWNO
Actually not all r2 servers use pawn (pawno is the IDE, not the language
) A lot of servers still use mirc, very few use pawn atm. from the people i've spoke to, they're not going to switch either.
Also out of the 6 servers i host on vrocker-hosting.eu, none of them are pawn.
Anyway, as I have already mentioned, once VC-MP's pawn gets plugins support, its functionality will be endlessly superior to that of mrc scripts. So switching to it is a kind of a rational step towards MP's improvement.
Plugin support would aid in switching people to pawn yes, but you have to accept that a few people are unwilling to switch because either
a) they cant be arsed to learn pawn
b) There will always be features missing from pawn that people can do in mirc with ease
c) converting scripts takes time, and who wants to spend a day or so converting a script which has worked fine for 2 years
d) some people (like me) dont actually like pawn, and disagree with having to jump through hoops to do simple things. Script languages should be simple.
