Want to become a developer?

[IStandAloneToo]

It's not as hard as you might think, but it does take some work. One doesn't become a full fledged developer over night, but with some effort you can become one!

There are two steps in becoming a developer. First, you will prove you're able to develop something. Afterwards, you are in a beginner/trainer developer stage. Here, you must prove yourself as a dedicated developer.

Enough talk, let's get on with this! Here's a general outline for what I want to see. Just copy and paste this. I don't want to see a long paragraph, too much reading!

Age:
Developing Experience:
Languages known:
DoL experience (what have you worked with?):

Lastly, with you application you need to provide a fix or implementation of a missing feature. Take a look at: http://dol.talyn.de/viewtopic.php?t=6194.

Etaew made a nice list of things that need to be done. Find one that interests you and fix/implement it! Once you do this, post the 'application' and you may become a Beginning Developer depending on what my fellow developers think about you and your implementation! Once there, you just need to keep working and implementing problems and fixes.

Im not applying but i was just asking, are the developers for the official DOL server, the files for the svn and website or both.

If someone posts that they need help i can help i can script pretty well but i dont wanna become devoted to something big cause i dont script very much unless im home for a while (normally im not home i have 2 many friends lawl) but yea post specific things that need to be done or fixed and i will try to look into it.

I gave a link to what needs to be done.

I'm back after few months' break, might continue work on necro (that's where I left off anyway, blame Warhammer and my studies if you like :p).

[masterfreek64]

As your link is down , I provide a fix for a bug:

( with the spell animation stuff)


replace line 79 of HealSpellHandler.cs with the two lines:

Code: Select all

foreach (GameLiving healTarget in targets)
   SendEffectAnimation(healTarget, 0, false,0);

welcome Ebonlieu,feel free to discover DoL and send me some bugfixes

[DrWiggly]

EDIT: **MOVED** the code looked better in the OnTick method vs the MakeAttack method
EDIT2: there was a bug with pets... also looked at older notes and noticed all npcs should just stop attacking if their target stealth's.

Age: 32
Developing Experience: Professional Programmer
Languages Known: C,C++,C#,Java,Python, .. more random ones
DoL experience: Not much been playing on the classic shard for a bit feeling the nostalgia. Pulled everything down from SVN out of curiosity been poking through the code look at stuff. Decided to spend a little time implementing stuff.

Here is an implementation for:

1.89:
- Characters who are attacked by stealthed archers will now target the attacking archer if the attacked player does not already have a target.
- Pets will no longer continue to attack a character after the character has stealthed.
1.88:
- Monsters, pets and Non-Player Characters (NPCs) will now halt their pursuit when the character being chased stealths.

Code: Select all

Should work from looking at various other parts of the code. But alas testing it may require some more setup on my part and a double login on a local server.

Many thanks!

don't know that i can become hardcore-dedicated. but,
would like to start something and see how it goes to
determine if i have the time. it sounds very interesting.

i grabbed the source and currently am "poking around"

[Graveen]

welcome, do not hesitate to fix what you find problematic, or to refer on the todo list.
i'm also open to any tool you can develop/improve (ie a mob creator should be interesting, an update of the questdesigner, a spell creator etc...)

/bow

[mdkangas1]

WooHoo!! First fix

database update.

I noticed that Minstrel Olias and Minstrel Lucaris of Camelot City were not giving the speed/strength buffs. In the `mob` table, update the ClassType from "DOL.GS.Scripts.GameHastener" to "DOL.GS.GameHastener". I didn't delve too much further but I am guessing all ClassType like "DOL.GS.Scripts.%" will probably need to have the "Scripts" part removed from the namespace, as well.

which in turn would mean...
- line 65 of GameServer\commands\AdminCommands\code.cs (text.Append("using DOL.GS.Scripts...)
- line 26 of GameServer\gameutils\RegionTimersResync.cs ("using DOL.GS.Scripts;")
...can safely be removed because it seems to be a dead namespace.

for the housing Pipers. update ClassType from 'DOL.GS.Scripts.HousingHastener" to be "DOL.GS.GameHousingHastener".

so, decided i was ready to tackle something "real". but, the link in the first message is broken. keeps taking me to OpenDNS.

that is all.
