I've noticed that the development of the VC:MP client/server is very stale lately. And I've resumed my work on the AngelScript module only to realize that there are a couple of features missing from the API and that it could make a grate deal of improvement on the scripting module. So my question to you (current developers/admins etc.) is how can we/I contribute to the VC:MP project to make my scripting module better and help the VC:MP grow in stability and features.
I've noticed this subject is quite sensitive and I get the reason. But this much enclosure doesn't help development too much. I'm not saying you to go open-source or anything (hell no!). Just to allow some people to contribute to the project. Under moderate submission of course.
i think. you are only noticing problems here And you are not seeing their hard work for vcmp.

Nobody says that they don't work on the project. But a faster development needs more people to evaluate and improve the code as well as adding new features.

stormeus is working on vcmp 0.4.he is a human or not a machine.

You just don't get it do you? I'm offering to help and yet you seem to misunderstand the simple concept of help and what it means :-\

Well In My Sight S.L.C Is Right

Oh, well. This was probably a wasted question and is probably going to be refused anyway. But then I won't blame my self later for not trying :D

Since the other old forum is down, I can't really get the quote by storm about a similar question I once asked. So I'm just going to answer base on my memory.
Storm mentioned something about knowing how to reverse engineer the RenderWare (or what it's called) engine and that takes time. Getting a bunch of people who know C++ is no big deal but getting someone who knows how to reverse engineer is another thing.If you have the skills then I would definitely want you to be considered for the developers team. Just bear in mind that I'm saying this from my horrible memory so it may or may not be 100% accurate but it should give you an idea of who they are looking for.

That quote has it's ups and downs. Knowing how to reverse engineer is one thing. But what if you know how to reverse engineer but don't know how to properly use extracted information? You end up with a slow and nonfunctional application. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I know how to use that data or anything (
I'm still learning new things everyday). But having more eyes to observe the code and run further tests makes development much more faster and stable.
Like I said... probably a wasted question. But maybe, just maybe.

ok you are right.
I think we can contribute by patience :P

You seem to be mistaken that this thread is like one of those where I complain about why the final version isn't released or something similar.
NO! I'm offering to help implementing a couple of features to further improve the game-play experience.
If any mod/admin sees this post then please close this topic because it's getting the wrong attention and I don't want it to go off topic. Thank you.

Are You Happy Now I have Deleted That Post
Thanks
Indeed this thread has been discussed multiple times and it ended up in the same answer. This project is nearly completed and no one else should join or get involved besides the current developers who had re-written 0.4, and who are familiar with their own code. I belive you're not the only who wants to get on with a project.
Whether we need help or not, maxorator or stormeus might look for it, so anyhow, this kind of threads are repetitive and obvious, so just try not to bring this topic back to discussion.

Clarify this point and perhaps the APIs can be added.
Allowing others to contribute to the source code would effectively be open-sourcing, even if done in a moderated manner. Any further form of control would essentially be the same situation we have now where the developers decide who to recruit and give limited access to a few trusted individuals.
Topic unlocked.
