FLHook development for money

Bas

I am not sure if this lifts up the issue about it might be illegal. And for FLHook - We both know it isn’t really legal anyways, but it is unlikely MS will care about it.

Alex.

Even if it is illegal, that wont stop most people that want to do it.

Bas

Well - To me I can’t understand why the thread creator shouldn’t be allowed to hire someone to code for him.

It is his money, isn’t it?

Sizer

Because it’s unethical to ask for money to do work for a program such as FLHook

Folko

LOL
create plugins it is legal

For example, if I can not create sait, I pay for this to other people.

I can not create plugin, I pay for this.

Helloween can not create plugins, together we are long time attempted create this, but we have not results.

Who can help me with plugins? With or without money, how you like

Vesko

Look pal, you won’t find anyone developing FLHook plugins and getting paid for it, especially since FLHook is open-source.

I’m sure you can find someone to make plugins for you. What kind of plugins do you need, anyway?

FriendlyFire

Sorry but you’re talking through your ass here. You cannot profit off FLHook development specifically because that would be profiting from reverse-engineering of copyrighted material. This is illegal whether you like it or not, and saying “LOL” at it definitely does not help your case for both A) making a point and B) getting helped.

Just learn to program and do it yourself, or politely request help for doing it. If anybody speaks about money again, this is getting the lock.

You should instead ask for help on how to program, we have Russian people like Helloween who I’m sure would be happy to help you

I did managed some c# and eventmode of FLHook, but not familiar with c++ yet. Because i try to keep our rus community online )

Huh, FriendlyFire hates developer of mod for which you want some plugins, Folko It was really bad idea to ask this here

If player have not required number (changeable) of goods (changeable) player die in space or can not fly to space and get message (for examle: “You have not enough H-Fuel (number of good)”).

And all types of ships can have its lists of goods and numbers of goods (for examle, fighter must have 30 H-Fuel, gunboat 80 H-Fuel and 10 Spaceship Crew, battleship must have 500 H-Fuel and 100 Spaceship Crew)

PLUGIN OPTIONS:

list of goods
number of goods
may be message if player have not fuel goods (not necessarily)

And if make some of lister goods as perishable we are take Fuel sistem in Freelanser, and players must go to stations from time to time or take transports with fuel goods.

Very intresting and not very difficalt idea.

If player killed by another player, dead player can not fly to space some time (changeable).

solution of “player can not fly if he killed” may be is give ban to dead player for some time (tempban command from “tempban plugin”) or delete main Equipment (engine, scanner e.t.) for some time

PLUGIN OPTIONS: time when dead player can not fly to space.

Who can help with this ideas?

There are things that need to be freely donated. Like mod development and community leadership/administration, for the reasons mentioned.

The way to get an extension you need, if you cannot program yourself, is to ask for help in the “help wanted” section.

Believe you me I am a professional programmer and I build programs in c# .net every day, big complicated secure programs that run in a major enterprise. But the c++ stuff going on in FLHook development and assembler (exe hacking) is a totally different league. These guys are masters.

Also, anything you can think of you need, is probably already made. There is much they know, that cannot be found in these forums. Just ask…. Be friendly… use teamspeak / msn / skype / email.

There are things that require money and that aren’t illegal. When your mod is released and you set up a community, it needs hosting. A dedicated hired Windows server (or co-located) in a server park that has connection to a main internet hub. The forums need hosting too. All that requires a constant stream of money and the backing/ownership of somebody with a solid real-life job (in addition to the paypal button that nobody uses)

Thank you Qi

I have this all in very large number. I need developer for FLHook only

Okay, I try again to ask in forum.

Ezekiel

C# and C++ are similar the more complicated is to understand how flhook and plugin are developped, and understand the logic of implementation, if you understand that, you WIN
At the momment, i dont understand all the things, but i try again

Actually since C# is based on managed code and FLHook uses real x86 assembly there is quite a difference. You also would have to know a lot about classes and how they are handled on assembly level (if you want do dig deeper). There also is a chance that you have to reverse new stuff in order to reach your goal (that happens to me nearly all the time).
