Coli's to-do list

[OldManAlewar]

Coli, maybe its an idea to publish your todo list ?

or at least the part that people can do without specific servercode, or for which the code can be easily found on runUO ?

that way, people
A) know what is upcoming (but should be aware things take time)
B) can pick-choose-solve things that are doable on their level of skill.
C)know what a massive mound of stuff you have qued up, and engender understanding


personally, i'm category B

i know most things are in the 'approved'' folder, but there probably also a lot of things that arent, and a nigth overseeable list would be good

Well that's the problem, most of the stuff on my todo are either

- stuff that need to be changed in the distro scripts, like things that require a little research, a few lines of code in 3 different files
- stuff that's classified (exploits, tools for the admins and staff)
- core stuff which i'm not sure i can trust with anyone (requires a lot of concentration to prevent crashing)

Hmm but i see about 5 things here that i could publish... mostly things that require research and playing around to find the bug or what line of code to change.
Want them?

BTW some of the stuff in the approved already were on my TODO and i moved them up so you can take up on any of them and realize it.


Example of what i wouldn't outsource:
ointment caps for biopets to be +100 of the caps.
Thing is, there needs to be a method that calculates the cap for a creature... just changing the values would do it, but then if we decide to change it again there's still about 3 files that need to be changed for this to work. Also if i paste the taming/breeding system here it will make a nice sight for those coders who want to *optimize* their breeding

im somewhat squeezed for time ATM, because i have a backlog of educational work to have graded* (and done) but on the long haul it could be very interesting.


also, we have a few other coders on the premises

but the 5 things you could also just put in the approved folder



*) more to the point, the next 7 weeks will be hectic for me, after that: oasis of time (mostly at evenings)

Actually yes, me too, i got assignments, homeworks, studying for exams, ... then there's 3 big web portals that need refurbishing, and 2 sites that needs to be made from scratch, so i'm pretty booked for the next few months too.

So i'll mostly do the urgent stuff, and as for the other things, there's the approved forums, waiting for people to script the ideas.
