Damocles - Developer Application - 3/3/2019

[Hector]

Name (Steam Name):
[RS] Merlin

Tell us about yourself:
I am a very chill guy that is very easy to get along with, who loves to do everything he can to support the servers in any way possible. I'm currently the General Manager of the Star Wars RP, and a Teamspeak Staff.

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

Please describe your experience in the field relevant to the role you're applying for:
I have owned my own communities and managed them by myself with no help from any sort of a developer other than myself. I am extremely experienced in FAdmin, DarkRP Configuration, ULX, and more. I can also make jobs extremely easily and fluently.

Why do you want to become a developer for Revival? (One Paragraph Min.):
I am applying to be a developer because I want to be able to help Revival with its development process. As I said in the previous experience question, I have owned a multitude of communities, even some that were extremely successful. With these, I was the sole developer. I take a lot of enjoyment out of server configuration, and being able to expand my horizons with trial and error. I'm very interested in being able to work with a development team this time around and be able to help out with any and all problems with the servers.

What can you bring to the development team?:
I can bring all of my previous experience of being a developer into the development team, and the fact that I can easily work with a development team. I can easily create jobs, categories, and more. I also know a thing or two with ULX.

Any extra information please add it here:​

+1 Your code looks good but Kraken points out some flaws.

 

[e241]

I would like to see some work before I make a judgement.

[Buggles]

+1 Trustworthy and can most likely do his job (I mean why would he be applying right?)

I added some proof of work under Additional Information. I'll be adding more throughout the day.

(My Vote could go either way, take what you will from this)

You have a grasp of Configuration and understand of what you will be working with. It's also nice to see NW functions being used. However I have higher standards when it comes to Development so I can't judge this fairly.

All I can say is our servers do not use FAdmin once it is fully set up. Usually it gets disabled, so I would get more familiar with ULX in the meantime. As long as your are fluent with making jobs and etc. That is fine, I would also learn how edit configuration files for weapons properly too.

Regards, Kraken

Added weapon configuration evidence

Some internal commentary (It’s a pet peeve of mine) as Employers like William Might or might not understand code and it is up to coders like us to give them a way to understand our code it also makes our job easier as instead of trying to explain to William what it does we can put internal commentary so William or an employer can read what it is meant to do and see if it actually works in testing. (I do coding my self such as VB, A little Lua and Java script and a tiny tiny bit of C++ and I always leave internal commentary it makes everything so much easier from a business standpoint)

Other than that this application looks good and if you can add some internal commentary that would be great.

I will be adding the weapon configuration code later today when I return to my main PC. Thank you both for the friendly advice, and I hope that when I do add the code, it will be to your liking!

EDIT:

I have added a weapon configuration code that I have edited to fit actual lore standards based on a Fandom Wikia page, gave a damage buff, changed slot, changed the name, etc. The only things that remain the same from what I used as a base are essential sound files and other stuff. I hope you find it up to your standards! I will probably be adding more tomorrow, but currently, I have to get off for the night.

 

[William]

This application has been on the waitlist for quite a bit. Congratulations Damocles

Accepted

Now, considering you are SWRP manager, I would like to assign you there, BUT I will respect your decision if you would like to be somewhere else.
