Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
Can you get on IRC and have a chat with us (details are in the FAQ thread if you know how to use IRC or you can just click here)

Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
I bumped into this after seeing some coverage on Rock Paper Shotgun, If you need another c/c++ coder, I have good experience at both and I also know a bit of xml too.

Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
Coders are always welcome.
The engine development forum can be found here, and most coders can be reached via IRC on the #scp channel on irc.esper.net.

Probably still doing better than most. Get on IRC (irc.esper.net), join #diaspora or #scp, talk to Karajorma, Goober, FUBAR, one of 'em.

 
Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
Got referred to this by szadowsz, I hear youre looking for C++ coders? I dont know any C Im afraid, but I do have access to OpenGL. Were starting to learn it this year in uni(Im in 2nd year on a games course) so while Ive literally just begun to touch it I *should* be able to get help with any difficulties I have. I cant promise Ill be the best coder youve ever seen, but I should be able to do minor support with C++ and hopefully with OpenGL in the future. So if you think you can use me, let me know!

Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
Yes, please. Graphics guys are always welcome. To get in contact with the rest of the coders, go to #scp on irc.esper.net. We can give you a proper tour there.

Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
Ive not had much grounding in graphics, we really are quite basic in our course so far :P All the learning of shiny things is happening from term 2 this year onwards, but Ill see what I can do in the meantime :)
EDIT: Im getting a placeholder page at irc.esper.net, is this a known error that can easily be fixed by telling the newbie how to not be stupid, or something more sinister?

Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
Your easiest option is to go to mibbit:

http://www.mibbit.com/

...And join Esper from there, of course adding a user name and punching in the correct channel; the ones you're looking for have already been listed.

That said, I can't get that tab on the HLP page to work, either.  :lol:

I hope that helps.

We don't only need graphics coders. Stop scaring people off by acting as if that is our most and only desperate need guys. :p

Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
I agree that we're excessively emphasizing the need for graphics coders.

At this point of our dev cycle, any fruits of work started on improving graphics in the engine won't be seen in this upcoming release.  And frankly, even if someone knows OpenGL, I highly doubt that person would be able to contribute anything worthwhile unless said person has actual experience with OpenGL in real-time 3D game engines or that person spends months studying the idiosyncrasies and caveats of our source code.

Re: Joining The Diaspora Team
If you have need for me, give me a shout. If you don't yet know what I can do, I'll list some.

* Tabling - including balancing, weapon effects, debugging, just about anything related to tables.
* Scripting config - can't do LUA but I've written many config files used by scripts.
* Mission debugging - nothing annoys me more than missions that spew debug errors, except tables that spew debug errors. I know how to fred, but I don't intend to do actual releasable missions.
* Project management and asset quality control - I doubt you need such though.

In the past I've worked in The Babylon Project, even as project leader before IPAndrews took over. More recently worked in Blue Planet Age of Aquarius Director's Cut and War in Heaven. Also merged most new visual effects from War in Heaven over to Mediavps 3.6.12.
