Greetings
« on: Thursday, December 22, 2011, 04:15:35 AM »
Evening all! I'm going to be downloading and installing 2.5 tonight!

Coming in to offer my assistance with any programming you need doing. (C#,C++,VB,.NET,Obj-C,DirectX,OpenGL & other SDK's)  outside of work hours that is! 

I originally intended in attempting to get permissions for the 2.8.5 build and begin a closed community development project with it.  Although nobody at AA central will reply to me about it and I refuse to allow AA3 to take over and ruin this game.

I also have several other programming friends willing to help out and living down from the university I graduated at I could easily get more junior developers to help out.

Hit me up if you need any help with anything, and Ill see you on the servers.

I'm the original developer of 2.5Assist but i'm not really a coder and the thing was just thrown together, the code is not very tidy. It was developed using RealBasic because the software need to run on Linux and Mac as well as windows and RB allows us to compile for all platforms using one base code. You can download the source code at sourceforge.
I have ideas on writeing our own Auth, account managment, horor and Stats system and i'm absolutly confident this can be done, But the question is, Is it worth it, I'm going to wait and see how many people are interested first. I don't want to comit many hours of my time for a game that could end up dying.

Of course, there is no point unless you have a large enough audience, but I think it would help bring alot of the people back to 2.5.

I am familiar with RealBasic, have used it previously before I started with Obj-C.

How many players do you currently have on 2.5? say on any given night?

About 20. Usually only enough to fill 1 server.

Which isnt a great deal less than 2.8.5 to be fair.

I know this is a bit off-topic since you guys are talking about Assist and auth servers and whatnot but I wouldn't be completely against doing mAAp work if there was an audience for it.

I was just thinking about maps,  would be a good idea.

Just been on 2.5, there are a few tweeks i would make the assist, but other than that its had a good job done to it.  If the code is a bit messy theres nothing a bit of refactoring cant do.

Yeah i have, done some impressive stuff before.

I have been looking at the code tonight and it does need a good clean up, with some kind of naming convensions putting on the variables/methods etc so its easier to just pick up and look at.  I have modified my copy now on my computer so I have a little box ontop of my windows all the time so I know when people are online by glancing at the bottom right of my screen.

Most of my friends are programmers too so I don't think we would ever be short on people to ask to help contribute.  I've been messaging some old people I used to play with back in the day to tell them to download and play :P

I got replies from at least 20 more player that are willing to play AA2 every nigth as we were doing on 2.8.5, they say that if the only way to play is 2.5 they will come down.

  The only problem i see is that there are not hosting companies that are willing to host a server for this game.

Could always talk some round, or just rent servers and set it up manually.
