[Discussion] Developers Corner

[Dythzer]

And to Mike Crowe, ofcourse you are doing this beacuse you can, I wouldn't be able to make this if I couldn't.

You didn't really understand my point there..
I meant more like this: Now when i've learned this.. why not make use of it.

And also.. I don't think the main point for most people is "to help people". You don't really go around and think "oh I'm gonna learn programming so I can help people." Of course it can be fun to help them but it's not really the main point.

There should be a special 'Developers' section of these forums, where we can go and have an intellectual conversation without the bothersome presence of l33chahs.

I do it because spidey can

[TheSpidey]

What the hell is the matter with you.
I script because I can, period. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes all I want to do is /headdesk.

Saying you script because you want to help people is bullshit.

Bapes, already stated my deep love to you.

[Clain]

Im so confused...

[runiker]

Well i dev because I want to and its my escape from real life everyone on here can say what they want its to help people you dont even know but i ebt you dont see these people tossing money out there windows or anything to people they dont know no they do it because THEY like to its all about them. Just the way the world works i mean yeah you can do something to help people out but you only do it because helping people makes you feel good so like i said ists all about you!

ok well next up i wanted to toss some ideas around about making out own custom bg? i cant do crap in c++ but i know others can i would like to toss some ideas out there...

I develop in game content (not crap you can do with ade and wow-v) for the server i play, mainly for the simple fact that once it's all finished what i am doing and i can finnaly release it, spawn the portal, i just love watching people try it, do it or fail, listen to them talk, reminds me of retail but without the noobs... Reason i quit retail was to many noobs, on here, i'm loving it.

Thats my selfish reason ^^

Ehh, don't know if a custom BG is possible really... But would be a great idea, something nice would be to build Azshara Crater as one(As it was supposed to be a BG).

[Chrispee]

Here is my thing i was able to make 2 flags using some lua only thing is i need a c+= person who can script when a horde enters they get item <a> and when ally enters they get item <b> fo teh flag will look for this item to see if you are horde or ally. once taht way then you will cross back over to the other flag and put the item you got for the other flag in there. (this is all thereory with lua i will post my scripts later)

[Ickybad]

I try to help with people i keep anwsering questions every chance i get so. I have released liek 3 repacks and a 2.4.2 DB. So I guess i just like to keep people updated plus looking at C++ and SQL coding is awesome. XD so many little numbers and writing entertains me.

First time i set up a Pserver it was so i could have GM powers.

Second time i set up a server was so me and some friends could screw around in naxx.

Third time I set up a server was for a crazy "Sell GM powers" scheme which i made a grand total of ::::::: $25!... Then i realised that .debug could do sql queries and somebody wiped my DB.

After that I just had a non-online server where i just screwed around.... I would go to unfinished areas, make custom buildings, create NPCs for it, make huge wars like Scarlet Crusade VS Undercity and ect.... And i was just having fun... One of my friends came over one day and saw my server then said "Hey, with a few modifications this would be a pretty kick ass server". Now i Co-admin a server with my friend.

We havn't made a cent, but its fun.
