Title: We need programmers :)
Post by: Inquisitor on September 07, 2002, 07:43:45 pm: People who have some idea of C++ and don;t mind having someone assign them stuff :)

We have a decent core group, and I would like to expand that.

You can post here, but I will only consider people who email me some semblance of a resume (even if it is a list of things you have done, don;t have to go overboard, but come on, it's good practice), and I may ask to see some sample code ;) Call it a test of whether you can follow simple instructions ;)

We have some momentum, and I don't want to lose it. The next exe release will rock, and, there is a crapload of things to do both for it, and after.

So, who's up for the challenge?

Email me.

Post by: RandomTiger on September 08, 2002, 04:47:57 am: Perhaps we need to go out and find some. I only found out about the source code project because my boss downloaded it and I wanted to see of anyone had fixed that GF4 problem. Perhaps we should 'advertise' ourself at other source code project forums or something.

Post by: Inquisitor on September 08, 2002, 07:24:49 am: Yes, going to do that as well, just wanteed to get it in front of you guys again, grass roots you know ;)

Post by: LtNarol on September 08, 2002, 08:55:33 am: Heh, well, I still would like to take a better look at the source code first, be able to figure out which files I wanna edit for what additions...I haven't looked at it at all yet, so I wouldn't be too much good.

Post by: aldo_14 on September 08, 2002, 09:14:27 am: I'm going to be doing some practical work at uni in 3d techniques - 3d (and 2D) graphics with phong shading, goaraud, and bump mapping in Java - which may of use later on if I can translate it to C++. Sadly, that'll only be 2nd semester, which is about 8 months from now.

but i'll try and see if I can learn anything of use in the meantime, and - if i get the time to really work with the SC (unlikely, but possible), I'll post some stuff up you can look at and decide if it's useful.

Post by: Galemp on September 08, 2002, 11:30:13 am: You won't believe this- I just found out that one of my friends here at college LOVES Freespace, but didn't even know that FRED existed, nor VW or HLP. Guess what he's studying?

Computer programming, specializing in Artificial Intelligence.

I'm going to try like nuts to get him into the source code, but he doesn't have a PC right now, so we'll have to wait before he can actually do anything. I'll try to get him here, though.:nod:

Post by: Stealth on September 08, 2002, 08:34:22 pm: i know nothing about C++, but it i can help in ANY way, just let me know

Post by: RandomTiger on September 09, 2002, 10:42:15 am: The code is really C with the occasional use of the more simple parts of C++. So really you just need to know C.

Post by: Taristin on September 09, 2002, 12:14:29 pm: C++ won't be until next semester... Damn prerequisites... hehe

I have to take some stupid 'Intro to progging' class first... hehe

(I probably won't learn anything... anyway)

Post by: Styxx on September 10, 2002, 02:15:36 pm: I really gotta get into the upgrades you're working on here. I messed with some stuff when the source was released, made a couple of small mods for myself, and then abandoned it due to lack of time. If you can send me more info on a compact form I may be able to help out with some of the less time-consuming stuff.

Just right now I wouldn't touch DirectX with a 50ft pole. ;)

Post by: Inquisitor on September 10, 2002, 04:44:22 pm: All osrts of things to do outside of DirectX :) that just seems to be a big push right now (and a worthwhile one).

Post by: Kazan on September 10, 2002, 06:56:20 pm: I'd write more code for you guys, but now that I'm in college Real Life is taking up more of my time, and it has nothing to do with classes :P
