Pay me to program for you (Expired)

Onion-Skinning for animation would be nice too.

I'm having trouble interpreting exactly what your saying o.o What kind of animation are we talking about?

[BlackJax96]

REFF Data editing maybe?

You mean editing REFF animations? Because the rest of the REFF data is all editable. You can even add new entries.

I'm having trouble interpreting exactly what your saying o.o What kind of animation are we talking about?

Apparently it's just a weird term to describe transparent frames before and/or after the current one.
Like, ghosts of the next and prev frames as reference.

Anyway I could do both of those things for $35 and $15 respectively.

Yea i figured that's what he meant by that, i just didn't know what animations he was talking about in specific. You should totally put these features in the OP with the total price and currently allocated cash type thing. That way people who happen upon this thread can see some choices right off the bat :)

I live here now!

if people start paying, I might help out if I have the money

[Carnage]

yeah seeing reff on bb would be great lost of times we just guess on what they will look like it would be cool if we saw reff animation preview on bb itself.

Questions: 1, if someone pays you a job, Will it be official release or just to that person?

2. How much Would it cost to buy a fully working Ikarus? With the PSA able to rebuild like adding articles, add/delete params and Such?

The feature will be included in the next official release. I'm not going to keep track of private builds.

2. How much Would it cost to buy a fully working Ikarus? With the PSA able to rebuild like adding articles, add/delete params and Such?

Oh jeez. I dunno. To get it in a usable state at LEAST... $175? That wouldn't include any extra emulation work or work on the improved script editor. It would also not include adding articles especially. I don't think we'll be able to add articles unless we fully understand how character modules work and are able to tell it that it needs to read a new article in the moveset file. The offsets in the moveset file involving articles are pretty much random, which means how they're read is dictated somewhere else, aka the rel.

Welcome, we have been waiting.

A preview of reff effects would probably be a bit expensive, unfortunately. There are so many reff parameters that would need to be used. When I don't know how to implement a feature off the top of my head, or when I know the feature will take me a long time to implement, the price goes up.

I will do that.

[DarkPikachu]

well, I won't say it's a bad idea, but letting it happen will make me lose faith in the project...

I have no faith in a project when the developer is doing things for money rather than for the benefit of others.

if the result is still for the benefit, then great, but due to the money aspect, brbx will never look good to me if done like that.


if (as a retort) you want me to pick it up, don't bother:
1: I now hate C# with a passsion and will only learn it for reading code (not writing it)
2: I'm already working on something far more advanced and have many more communities (not just hacking communities) supporting the idea

to add a bit of personal info to that, and it's something that's always been known...
I hate money, and will always do what I can for free.
(I would rather make an attempt to get rid of money than try to actually make it)

[KingJigglypuff]

I though we were done [censored]posting with irrelevant comments. :V

Anyway, have you thought about cooperating with Sammi_Husky and Libertyernie with the BrawlBox updates? Assuming there's enough interest from people who would be willing to pay.

[BlackJax96]

(I would rather make an attempt to get rid of money than try to actually make it)

I'll even give you features for free if you let me take your money off your hands for ya. It's win-win! :af2:

I contacted them both before starting the thread, so that's covered. I still haven't heard back from Liberty, though.

[Sammi Husky]

I still haven't heard back from Liberty, though.

I've noticed he comes on here in somewhat spacey lengths of time so that's probably it.

He's not the only one developing things now, so it's not like all features will be for money. That's not the case. The thread is saying to pay him in specific to make features that otherwise would be much more difficult for us..well at least me. Can't speak for Liberty but yea. BJ has much more experience with the source code than i, so naturally would be able to implement quicker. Also, it's only if people are willing to pay him. :)

oh, thats good, since it would be awful to buy programs thats already made

I really want to buy one o: i mean, 175 dollars is just about 1271.76 SEK and I can affort that pretty easy atm
also, I would love a article rebuilder! since without a proper Article rebuilder, we will have hard time to even begin to do it with or without Module editing and I want to try make it to work D:
if you know what I mean.

a example, if I found out how to make something work in the Module file, but it requires one thing in the PSA that we cant add atm D: thats how I see it

[BlueBrain]

what about making ikarus work for a single character?

since you said it was going to use specific rebuilding stuff per character...

[DarkPikachu]

I'll even give you features for free if you let me take your money off your hands for ya. It's win-win! :af2:

what money

I work for free, for fun and personal gain :3
you should know this already BJ :P

EDIT:
again, I'm not saying it's a bad idea...
I just hope this doesn't turn into another one of "those" projects is all.

So do i :P It's why i've been programming bbox, and why i don't see this turning into one of *those* projects so you don't gotta worry. More specifically, because even if people don't pay BJ to do stuff, I'll still be doing other stuff. Just...probably not many huge features like some of the ones in this thread, or as fast. That is unless i significantly improve my skills and research said topic a whole lot.

The point of this thread in specific isn't "Pay for bbox features now, or bbox won't continue", it's just BJ saying that he can (for money) implement most features you guys throw at him. Whereas i cannot, and there is no guarantee that someone else will come along and do it. Do note though that im not speaking for anyone else's skills who might be / are / want to program bbox. I can only account for myself in these opinions.
