Name (Steam Name): [RS] Coyote

Date of joining Revival: Sometime Mid September

Tell us about yourself: I'm 15 and enjoy playing on Revival SCP, I am also a Senior Admin on SCP.

Do you have a microphone? (Please state clarity of this said microphone): Yes, quite clear

What role are you taking? (Programmer, Server Configurator, Mapper etc.): Server configurator (small stuff)

Are you applying with prior experience or were you trained by a Development Team member, if so. Who?: No

What is your skill level with GLua 1-10 (1-4 Being the basics of GLUA. 5-7 being Programming functions and creating custom scripts or 8-10 being you know almost everything from Configuration to Programming): 1.8 (I know enough to modify jobs, and make jobs)

Are you currently a staff member for Revival and if so, what rank and how long?: I am a Senior Admin on SCP and i've been on the staff team since mid October

Have you been a Developer before? If so where and how long?: I haven't

Why do you want to become a developer for Revival? (One Paragraph Min.): I want to help SCP and improve the way the server functions. SCP needs developers to fix and add whitelists (some changes have been sitting for months).

What will you bring to the development team?: I am very active on server and know what needs to be added, and can do it basically right when asked.

Can you show/link us your work?(Required):
TEAM_COYOTESAPPLICATION = DarkRP.createJob("Uhhhhhhh", {

color = Color(40, 255, 100, 255),

model = {

"models/bigboimodels/biggestboi.mdl"

}
< add here the stuff kraken added because i dont want to just copy and paste that in, but thanks kraken >
end
})

Are you active on Teamspeak?: Yes

Do you agree to be active on the Development Trello and Kik chat?: I have never heard of Trello but sure.

Other: I'm only applying to help the server I only have basic knowledge

Do you understand that abuse of your developer powers will result in an instant blacklist, demotion, and possible Community Ban from the Revival Development Team and platforms of Revival: Its a given

+1 Lmao, why not


I question both of your answers for these simple reasons:

1.8 (I know enough to modify jobs, and make jobs)

Have you been a Developer before? If so where and how long?: I haven't

description = [[I wonder if this application will be removed because this is a template from Facepunch's website because it's not like ill make anything custom]],

Other: I'm only applying to help the server I only have basic knowledge

I'm going to leave a
Neutral leaning twoards Negetive vote here for these reasons which I may be completely wrong and anyone / dev may correct me apologies if so:

1. I'm pretty sure they expect you to have a great understanding out of the gate if not you will most likley be left behind. Most of the devs I do know would happily sit down and help teach though back when they did dev sessions you may be able to talk to one.

2. You said you filled out a template meaning I highly doubt if you were given a blank playground and told to remake this I doubt you could.

3. The "uhhh" and "bigboimodels" looks far from professional..

If I am incorrect or overstepping where I should be putting my nose, apologies. This isnt my specialty.

Sorry Coyote/ Spacefur. Your a good admin but I am unsure of this. I know you want to help SCP.

Somewhere...?
-1 Okay, there are many issues with your code. I understand you are a 1.8 but before you do your application, you need to proof it and make sure you know the code works. As it states in the application format; "Must be experienced in the field you're applying for."

But here are the issues.

Coyotes_Application = DarkRP.createJob("Uhhhhhhh", {
- It should actually look like this
TEAM_COYOTE = DarkRP.createJob("Job Name", {



weapons = {door_ram},
- It should look like this weapons = {"door_ram"},


The command = "Gamertime" should be all lower caps.


Also, you are missing a crucial part in the job that dictates what you job's health value should be unless you are just spawning with the base 100 HP in GMod, however all of our jobs do not do that. If its on a job it will fall underneath the category line.



PlayerSpawn = function(ply)
ply:
SetHealth(300)
ply:
SetArmor(100)
ply:
SetMaxHealth(300)
end

})


I'm more than willing to change my rating if this is fixed and more is provided. One job is not really enough to convince a lot of developers here. Also, all of the developers are open to teaching people, you should never apply without talking to us at least once usually. Also, your application is not as professional as it should be. I hope that this helped you and I wish you the best of luck.



[EDIT]: I would also like to add

You did not meet the minimum word requirement so...

-1 Overall

Overall as Kraken mentioned, the mistakes you made with your LUA cannot go unnoticed; The reason for this is that LUA is a strict language with how it is setup...One little mistake can break everything.

Your skill was rated at a 1.8 which is EXTREMELY low for a developer coming into the team with little to no experience. I would recommend taking lessons from youtube or self-teaching yourself before reapplying back unto the team

I understand your determination to help the server, but your lack of skill at the current moment will not advance you as a developer.

Everywhere but no-where
-1 Edit: Now reading your app a little bit more, some of the coding you have there is mingey and not serious. I feel like you will also just take other people's code and if there is a flaw in the code you might not know how to fix it. Maybe do a little research into code but if you do fix up the miginess in the app I will change my vote to a +1 but at this current point I don't think you are fit but you have potential
With that said I wish you luck.

0 I gave you some advice that you could use to improve your application but it hasn't been used in this app.

Denied. Even after updates still seeing bugs such as you're not adding commas (,) after each table entry e.g.

You don't seem to have much enthusiasm either.

Terrible application overall very disappointed.
