Hard for him to commit if he doesn't have CVS access.

How many files is it? Can you just email them to me/Goober so we can look them over? Do you know how to do a CVS patch?

hmm i'd like to help but i'm quite buzzy and need a good brush up on C++ (havent used it in oveer 3 years)

If you still need a coder later down the road and i'm available i'l give you a shout though.

Let me get the 3.6 source again and I'll make the changes.

good to hear that. Also there is the another option of using a preprocessor definition to activate the new jump code. I don't know how to implement this.

[Darkhill]

A preprocessor definition would require two builds of the game, one with the original jump and then one with the SW jump.  This is why I was leaning towards a command line flag.  Its one build for everybody and you can go back and forth without worrying about finding a new exe.

I need to finish my addition to Fred and then I will get on this.  The game keeping you to Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Zeta really sucks so that has went away now.

[redmenace]

well that is what phreak is doing as well. I wish his alt scan mode was a either a hud table option or ship table specific flag.

But, phreak also uses a preprocessor definition for his inferno flags.

No command line. A table flag would be better. I dont like the idea that people have to set certain command lines for some MODs gameplay features.

Seconded, the better to have SW vs FS encounters
or FS vs $any_scifi

[Darkhill]

Do you want a flag in the ships.tbl?

[Lightspeed]

yes.

got two recruits, thanks guys

[redmenace]

Thank you Darkchrono. We really aqppreciate it.

If I had the time right now, I'd love to lend a hand to the SCP. While I'm not the most experienced coder on the block, I've done quite a bit of Direct3D programming for some of my past projects and have worked a bit (mostly just code-cleanup and encapsulation - only a few feature additions and enhancements) with the vanilla fs2 sources.  From time to time I like to experiment with SCP cvs snapshots to test the new features.  I've just got a lot going on right now with work developing a few applications and a new linux distro, but if my schedule changes, I'll be glad to try my hand in this,  especially in the bug-squashing department.

[Edit: Odd... I know I've only posted a couple of times, but I wonder what happened to my post count...  Oh well, I'll probably be beamed for this...]

[Blitzerland]

Take the beam like a man. DIEEEE!!!

:welCome:

Hmm...bloody thing seems to be a peice of crap.

*fiddles with switch

:wElCoMe:

Whatever could be wrong?

:welcom:

Still not working. Still a peice of crap.

:elcome:

What the fishpaste?!

Fine, no beam for you, DracoX.

Couldn't resist.  I was working on <colon>Welcome<colon> and came across this.  (actually, it's <colon>welcome<colon>)

[karajorma]

You bumped a topic after 2 years for that!

[pecenipicek]

i mean, were you blind jr2 or what? thread necromancy at its worst.

[castor]

Though, if one really, really badly needs to bump a thread, maybe this is one of the best choices

[redmenace]

Believe me, I have done FAR WORSE.

I just found out about the project a couple weeks ago, and was thinking about doing a little something, but the developer page is sorely lacking in this regard (well, beyond the basics anyway).  I'm glad this post was brought up - I guess I would have found it in a search, but still!

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.

I'll update my resume and forward it on.  Probably won't have too much time this summer, but I'm sure I can work on it here and there, and in fall/winter my workload usually drops off a bit.
