Ok it looks as if there is enough interest so i shall go on.
1. This is a group not a clan or anything along those lines or we shall end up with some clipboard boy wanting to be in charge and spending more time arguing over what we call ourselves than actually working. Names and other such triviality are simply not important.
2. Imo we need 2 communication mediums. ^^ look up guys to that java chat link, I think we should hijack that as our scripting chat as it's not used much and live debate helps peeps with probs and also mods/scripts can be debated and idea's worked on using this method. Using the chat also gives peeps with limited scripting knowledge or those with a simple desire to help the opportunity to be involved.
3. Moggy's wiki can be used as a way to develop stuff also as text can be added and edited by all users to keep things tidy and accurate.
4. Anybody who wants onboard should list what they are working on and also have their scripts available for the others to download and work on also, one of the main things i'm on with at the moment is writing missions. once one is complete are certain triggers are hit the next is called. This way we can build more than just a script and help each other out more.
I can create a group upload ftp and maintain links there but to be honest it would be nice if someone who is a web boy and is into this sort of thing did it as i much prefer spending my time crashing to desktop.
5. There needs to be a small level of secrecy over any beta's we work on so the group should have 2 levels. 1 chat/feedback/testing. 2. actual coding where the workers/testers are the only ones with access
6. we should maintain a way for anybody to have some involvment if they so wish if that be running the web based side or tidying up or testing is irrelevant, I just want to make sure we don't become some sort of elitish tossbags
7. Rules
Simple :- if you help your in, if you don't i'll throw you out. That is the only authority i ask for as i've seen too many projects destroyed by petty bickering. Drama Queens will not be tolerated, If you can't take criticsm stay away.
Final decision on any script is down to it's origional author. If the rest of the group disagree with a script or it's balance we make it so it can be included with any package we provide but keep it seperate.
And finally nobody is in charge. The hierarcy (sp) will be set up on the basis of work, The more scripts you make the higher the level you are in the decision making process.
PM me if your still interested and i'll start to make a list of names, just add to the pm what you actually intend to do so i get some idea
I have abosolutly no intention of running this thing it's just someone was needed to drag us all up of our lazy arses. Once this is done i'll soak up into the rest of the group, I don't need any power or status around here as i'm already a member of The Empire
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the topic of space for scripts one of the ways i have got around this is making a console.
Its in at COMMAND_PIRACY_24 or something and all it does is ask for a number when used. The corresponding number then calls a script meaning some of my scripts can be used without the need of linkage.
Some scripts obviously need the wares and command adding but others don't.
The biggest issue at the moment is the lack of prices available meaning we cant add to stations. One of my first tasks will be to lobby EGO to include more, failing that to get them to tell me if their not doing so we can work accordingly.
How does all that sound?
