[PROJECT]  MMOSDK (was WoW Factor)

<< < (24/29) > >>

Steff:
Why do you work alone: most time other people never finish jobs and you wast tons of time to get them up for start before.

advanced people to you: he and all the other guys with skills are in a chat together.


Open source is just wast of time in wow modding scene.  Look what Incredible stuff has happend with noggit since it is  open source....  Nothing

It is my personal point.

iindigo:
I think the problems with getting people to contribute to Noggit's development are primarily that the codebase is anything but clean and organized (not accessible) and that only a tiny fraction of those interested in WoW modding are capable of working with OpenGL. Tools that can be built easily has been done 50x times over while anything moderately difficult and above has barely been touched.

So it's not that open source doesn't work in the WoW modding community, it's more that developers with the necessary skills and interest in the game are hard to come by period. That said, there are definitely benefits to having a smaller closed development circle until the software has matured to a reasonable point.

Magnus:
I see that in contrary. Looking into the past that was exactly why most private projects died after 1-2 years.

The idea of making an universal game client/server project isn't new. Atm there is also a thread in TC forum and I have seen so a lot gone in the past.

Without public code review and feedback I bet this project will stay not longer than 2 years. Personally I don't work anymore in closed source projects, that's waste of time over the years. And I think that's also the reason why some projects don't get support of skilled people. To get skilled people you must attract them.

However I wish you good luck.

Steff:
What skilled people :) The one dont understand noggit codebase. I am a c++ idiot and findmy way in.
I dont think he will stop this as he works now very long on it.
And if he will open what he did. I am sure.

Soif youwant help all. TEST his stuff :)

First postings in his blog are more than 6 years ago and there he already worked for quite some time on the project. So i guess you just lost a bet!
