Re: Looking for more programmers!
That would be super. :) New programmers are always welcome.

And yes, the developer website is sorely lacking.  Website designers would be welcome too. :D

Re: Looking for more programmers!
Would the developer website be scp.indiegames.us, or somewhere else? (Sort of designer....not artisitc, but intuitive and if I don't know how something is supposed to work, I find out. I also code to W3C, believe in cross browser/platform compatibility and as little of anything resembling overhead as possible.)

Yep. that's the developer site. :)

OK, I guess sorely lacking was a bit of an exageration, but here's a few things:
  • Contact information to join the team - there's an e-mail listed, but that's for something else.  This is definitely the biggest issue on the page.
  • Release schedules - what's being worked on in this version, what will be set off to later versions.
  • Existing team information, contact to leads, information about others.
  • Help wanted information - what types of help needed (programmers, testers, etc.)
  • Testing pointers
  • Standards documents

I know this isn't a production team website, but the development site should have at least some of this I would think - especially contact info for the coordinator.

Re: Looking for more programmers!
Actually, the thing I was interested most in working on is the launcher (boring I know, but it could use some work, especially in the beginner usability aspect), but I didn't see the source when I got everything from CVS - though I guess I didn't search for more than a few minutes.

Go talk to taylor .  He just released Launcher 5.4  :yes:  8)

Re: Looking for more programmers!
Taylor is also planning a completely new Launcher which will be crossplatform and handle the updating/installation of mods too. You should talk about a collaboration if you're serious about it but I'd advise getting some experience with the rest of the code under your belt first.

Hmm ... well, I tried to PM taylor, but his inbox is full!

Taylor, if you read this and are interested in some ideas I had, or possibly some help with the launcher - drop me a PM and maybe something can be worked out.

Strange.  I cleared a bunch of stuff out so try sending to me again (though I didn't think I had much of a limit previously, before the SMF change over at least  :rolleyes:).

Re: Looking for more programmers!
taylor already knows me from the SCP site.
i mostly know C. im not really into C++ but im going to learn it in the next 2 months (the C++ stuff)
how to contact me : MSN - [email protected], ICQ - 128118940 . email : [email protected]
if you need anything from me to code, tell me and ill try my best to do the task.
also : i can't really call myself a "guru". but its better than nothing, ye?
for a code sample : i sent taylor a patch about the software bloom shader. he should have it in his PM in the SCP site. if you still want to see what i am capable of (here a program i made not far ago) : http://rapidshare.de/files/25478923/equalizer-particles3.rar.html
