Hey together,

 

first of all you have to know that i have _NO_ scripting experience in arma but hey i learned myself php and mysql so maybe i will have fun getting into it.

As there seems no working handcuff script atm (except the self programmed) i started a github repo for my ideas.

 

As i said it is ideas and i try with help from bohemia coding guidelines to get some of them working.

 

DO NOT EXPECT THE SCRIPTS THERE TO WORK, JUST TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM AND MAYBE SOMEBODY WANTS TO JOIN THIS.

 

Another idea is a player punishment system. The idea behind this is, that nobody likes fresh spawn killers. So i want to try to make a script that checks who is the murder and who is the victim.

 

If the victim was on para (like in halvs spawn script) or the victim has fresh spawn cloths (underwear) the murder will be punished by killing him (remove crypto, break leags, or such)

 

However here is the github repo. Maybe somebody want to join and help making this functioning so all other servers can use it. I am a little afraid of breaking server functions or performance suffering so it would be nice if anybody wants to join who has knowledge about that. See it as a community project.

Just out of curiosity: what is the point of pointing out ideas you have without actually making them yourself? Who is going to take credit? The reason why I am asking this is because I am protecting the right for a developer to take credit for his/her work even if the idea was given by someone else. As a warning to developers that might respond to the main post: protect your right to take full credit for any scripts made by you and do not allow others to take credit for it just because "they had the idea".

The point is that i am not a arma developer. The credit does not matter to me. The result is what counts. If there are 100 people taking part in that they can put the credits all together in the scripts and be part of it. You can do whatever you want with it. Just want to have the possibilities which are not given with pure epoch and other should be able to use it, too.

 

PS: Maybe i explain my 2 points of the 2 scripts which are on my mind:

 

- Player do way to much PVP. Epoch is not battlefield but some thread it that way. So giving the possibility to handcuff and loot somebody would be more exciting than simply killing them. Maybe you get some guys to see it as a challange before killing them

 

- Killing bambies is just shit and make you feeld dissapointed. Players should be punished for killing bambies

 

I just want to balance gameplay and fun and therefor i thin a lot of server owners would be interessted in those scripts. I could also hire a dev for money to script it and hold it private but i want the whole community to have advantage of.

Good to hear your story on this. I have done my best to protect. I wish you good luck with the project and hope that it will reach the best of what can be achieved.

[flow0815]

Don't get your point IT. What is the goal of you as open minded devs? You put your code on github or the board so other can use it (as you do). What do you mean with protect?

What is the difference in it compared to that? e.g. halv and suppe wrote their blackmarket together, put in "By halv & suppe" and it is done? I do not even have to stand anywhere in there. Just the goal everybody takes advantage of it. I do not want to claim and say "hey its mine" :)

 

If you like the idea and anything i wrote is usable, take the code, modify it, put it on your github and take full credit for it. I don't care :)

[IT07]

I do not want to claim and say "hey its mine" :)

 

That is only good. And that is also my point. I am just trying to protect developers like me from getting their work "stolen" by others taking credit for it because they had the idea.

My post is not at all directed specifically to you. It is just important to me to make clear that you have no intentions on claiming the credit for ideas and such. See it as a positive thing that you have the oppertunity to claim that your intentions are not to take credit for the script because you had the idea. No offense dude, really.

 

[flow0815]

It is not my intention to do so. As i said the result is what counts. I started with the handcuff script but i have no idea if it will work. Have to do a lot more testing because i have absolute no experience in arma scripting. If it WOULD be usable but missing some thing i have NO problems for anybody to adjust it and use it on their page or claim it. As long it only is working and not private so anybody can take advantage from it :)
