Rolecraft - An open source RPG plugin

The idea of Rolecraft is to create a highly configurable RPG plugin, with professions, magic and many other features.

As of now, there are four of us working on Rolecraft, and plenty of progress has been made. We don't need any more developers for the project - we feel our current team is big enough. The project's current source is hosted on GitHub - link here if you want to view it.

Most plans / issues are outlined on the GitHub issue tracker (link), so if you have something to contribute to discussion without wanting to join in the development, leave a comment there, or create a new issue if you feel it's necessary.

 

I already have these systems on my own plugin. I'd be interested in putting together a team, as I'm kind of bored since I wrote most of it in a month's time. Message me.

 

If you're still interested, I wouldn't mind helping

 

What he said.

 

We've ( mythbusterma and myself) made a solid start on this. https://github.com/RolecraftDev/RolecraftCore

If anyone wants to join in, post below, or if you just want to make a couple of contributions, feel free to make a pull request or two. The things we're looking at doing are mostly documented at https://github.com/RolecraftDev/RolecraftCore/issues

 

Traks is now helping with the project. A reminder that if anyone wants to help out they're welcome to, but we only want a couple more people, as we don't want it getting too chaotic.

 

There's some good progress being made on this - if any web developers fancy it, we're considering the possibility of website statistics (guilds, players, professions etc) and we'd love it if somebody wanted to join the team to do that.

 

PandazNWafflez I could be a web dev: http://laughingquoll.net

 

LaughingQuoll Your code in your signature is wrong, just saying...

 

Onlineids the signature has two lines missing lol

 

LaughingQuoll Its this line

Code:java

if( e.getPlayer() = "LaughingQuoll"){
 

 

lol. I see if( e.getPlayer() == "LaughingQuoll"){
} Fixed

 

LaughingQuoll Also you should be getting there name and not comparing through == but .equals

 

Onlineids LaughingQuoll
Also, not to mention it should be e.getPlayer().getName()

AoH_Ruthless Onlineids ffs lads

 

Onlineids
Damn it. Lol I will go learn to read now

 

Still need some help?

 

I want to join his development team.

If you guys want to help out, I'd appreciate you showing me something that proves that you are capable with Bukkit / Java.

 

I might be able to help with web or java.

 

habbcraw

As above, I'd appreciate something that shows you are capable of working on this project.

 

PandazNWafflez Well you could check some small things I have on my BukkitDev account couldn't use it here but my name there is SammyyMan

You could also check my server to see some of my other work but PM me if so,

 

habbcraw the web part of the plugin is being done by me. Also I have almost done it. I am just waiting for a version of Rolecraft I can test it with.

 

LaughingQuoll If you've almost done it you should commit it, even if it's untested (all of the plugin code is untested lol)

 

PandazNWafflez ok Ill add it.

 

Just curious. Whats with all the final modifiers you are using?

 

Nashor

Personally, I mark everything as final if it doesn't need. It essentially shows people who read your code what shouldn't be changed. On older JVMs it also allows more aggressive optimizations - although that's not really applicable anymore. It's more personal preference than anything.

Also, if somebody is trying to follow your code and sees final, they know they don't have to pay attention to see if the variable changes later - making it especially useful in dense code which can be hard to understand even when you aren't paying attention to what changes.

 

I might be interested in helping but I'm not really sure how I can prove my knowledge here. I've been coding Java for a few years now and most of my learning was done while learning Bukkit so I'm pretty proficient. I'm also good with Collections and general program design. I'm a Computer Engineering student if that helps. Do you guys have some instant form of communication besides the issue tracker?

 

OK - with the addition of Nashor to the team, we won't be adding any more developers for the foreseeable future - we don't want there to be too many people.
