I need a setting for a game in one of my plugins. It would appear that Notes have been used for this, with types unequal to 1, 2, 3 so they don't get confused with actual notes.

What types can I claim for my plugins? I'd like one per plugin, please ;) Preferably "official" so noone else will reuse the same type.

Negative values are good, and what I used in the past since we likely won't use them for system values. Planets.nu doesn't assign note values, so it's up to script authors to make sure collisions don't occur. In the past we used usercripts.com IDs (since each script had a unique one). The plugin toolkit also has a method for generating an id from the script's name which would be unlikely to match.

Where can I find that plugin toolkit? My favourite search engine comes up with mine... Might use the same generator.

Negative is fine, thx!

Let it be known that -2080374784 is claimed for RedrawAndFilter!

Of course, JavaScript does sort-of, almost-but-not-quite, do what the code implies it does. parseInt(string.replace(/[_\W]/g, ""), 36) % 2147483648 would work perfectly if it were actually using integers all the way. But "RedrawAndFilter" is a bit too long. I can use "RedrawAndFilt00" and it will return the same number. Insignificant bits falling out of a float of some sorts.

Works as long as you don't call your plugins "PlanetsNuPlugin1" and "PlanetsNuPlugin2".

While at it, let me claim -793096560 ForNetbooks, -1467703780 ShowNotes, -1138449920 ShowMessages; my toolkit needs none. I expect everybody who might in some future write a plugin to memorize these numbers to prevent collisions, thank you.
