QuoteI'm currently developing a online strategy game engine

Interesting, care to say anything else about it?

What made you want to switch over to the doc team?

Do you like getting whipped or not?

You have 3 wishes, make any wishes you want.

QuoteInteresting, care to say anything else about it?

The game is being based on Issac Asimov's Foundation & Empire universe, although the actual engine could be used for anything. What the others and I want to do is great a game/engine that allows you to see your place in the universe, however big that may be. as in most strategy war games people like to fight, so massive fights will definately be happening. However there will also be an RPGish type system where you also inhabit each individual planet of the universe. There will be almost no constraints on this, and it will also be user-definable. New objects and places can be designed and built by the players.
I'm designing the core parser of the game, and leaving the gameplay to the others. It is basically an xml backend, which can be used by AJAX or anything else. And it's GPLed too

QuoteWhat made you want to switch over to the doc team?

actually I don't like whippings. I think they're quite peverse.
I changed cause I didn't want to answer as many repeditive support questions, and because I like 'doc'ing.

Do you think it matters if you don't like it?

Do you realize some of the Team Members BEG for a whipping (and don't get it)?

Heh that's one more person to add to the we too manly for whippings club

If you could change one feature in SMF what would it be?  Why?

Inherited permissions. Because that would simply be POWER.

Whats your duties as a DOC writer?

How many books do you own? What's your favorite book (literature)?

Not really. As DNA said, space is dull, really dull.

Favourite bands are many, but these are up there: Trading yesterday, Saosin, Evanesence, Death Cab for Cutie, RHCP, Anberlin. Favourite solo singer.. David Hodges from TY is pretty good

Dutie.. other than avoiding being whipped.. I just edit docs now mostly, but eventually I want to give the advanced section of the OM a complete overall, and document every part of SMF's insides.

Quote from: xenovanis on April 08, 2006, 11:42:54 AMHow many books do you own? What's your favorite book (literature)?

I don't own many books, I borrow most of them from the library. Good books... The H2G2 trilogy is a classic, I love Asimov, books about polynesian history, John Grisham, Jeffery Archer, and lately I've been getting into William Gibson. Just finished Pattern Recognition and thought it was crazyawesome.

No but I used to ride a kangaroo to school

Quote from: sloopz on April 08, 2006, 01:09:32 PMdo you like the crocodile hunter whats his name Steve Irwin?

Most aussies think he's a weirdo.

Ever tried irn bru?

Ever watched star trek?

Role model? (and why?)

Ever tried a real Scottish Haggis?

My parents sometimes watch startrek, so I've probably watch 1-2 episodes or a few parts of some.
Role model: hmm no big ones really. but one little one is Dr John Baumgardner who completely changed what his PhD to geophysics (something he had no experience in) because he wanted to understand the issue well and defend his religion.
Haggis? no.

i think he must be saving that exact same text in a text file or sumthing then posting it at each thread? eh trekkie ?

cuz its the EXACT same text

When you ask someone "how are you?" do you not always phrase it exactly the same every time? Same applys

yea ok

Ok we know what feature you like, what feature you want, but ...
If you could remove one feature what would it be and why?

What's your Favorite Theme??
What was the most challenging thing for you & the doc team when building the on line manual?

In the netherland they are celebrating the 400 year aniversery of being friend with australia... we even have a special euro made for it.

Hmm tricky, I've never thought of it. Maybe the buddy system, because I've never used it? no, actually the email notification system, and the emailed reported posts system. i don't like emails.

i like Amber and Neptune by bloc, and there have been several others I really like too. some by koni. But my favourite is probably the nonexistant dark multi-column theme
Hmm, I've only been on the doc team a short while so I haven't been involved in too much of it. But the hardest thing is really being comprehensive for something as large as SMF.

Hi!!!

Was it hard learning all these codes?

I'm not sure exactly which codes, but no You get better with practice too.

wouw nice bands you listen to,
do you like Fear Factory(Slave Labour, Full Metal Contact and Zero Signal in specificly)

do you have a local testing server installed?

if so you used a pre-packed thingy or did it yourself?

what O.S do you use(no awnser is windows)?

how long youve been coding php(and MySQL)?

I've never heard fear factory.

I had apache+php+mysql set up before I reformatted my computer. I might set it up again later. I also set up a standalone linux webserver but it was really slow. Now I most test on live sites hehe.

I use win98 mostly, although I installed Arch Linux a few weeks ago. Need to get that working. X.org tells me I don't have a monitor.. which is strange becuase I'm pretty sure I do.

Only really since I've been using SMF. Less than a year.

I'm glad to see another Aussie here... Where in Australia are you from? I'm from Melbourne

QuoteX.org tells me I don't have a monitor

I guess your monitor is just an illusion then Seriously, try using Ubuntu Linux...

I must agree with that

How did you get to become a Documentation writer?

I'm in Brisbane.

Nah, I like Arch. It's a bit of a challenge. Ubuntu would be too simple. But.. if I later decide I don't like Arch for some reason I could always change distros. thats the awesome thing about linux. Try changing anything in windows...

I was a support specialist for a few months first, but then I decided I'd like doc writing more so I asked for a transfer

... and silly me, I accepted him

Do you like being on the Doc Team?

Do you still provide support when you can?

It's been pretty good actually. But I think I'm doing more support now than I was before :S I made 50 posts yesterday

Spam posts don't count

Says mister I-have-almost-3.5k-posts

And to think when I joined in Novemeber I barley had 1000
