mdshare Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Just polling who would be interested to revamp mccode lite. If enough interest we can make it a open source project. The revamp goal would be using the Woltlab Community Framework as core. WCF is Free unlike WBB. Why WCF ? Most functionality which is in games are available. cronjobs msgs module user signup/login style/template module user rankings (staff, members, etc even guest accounts wouldn't be a problem to give functionality) etc ... Also, using WCF as core and have it as a open source package for it would open the market segment to millions of people using WCF for their sites, most allthough in combination with WBB. Expanding to this market segment would blow new life in mccode kinda and get pretty fast a large community with mods (free/paid) Why not SMF or phpBB, they don't have a standalone framework they are pure forum.

mdshare Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 A full revamp isn't just programmers alone danny , eg someone with eye for design aka creating a custom style (colour combos is something I've never been good at) Translators, WCF has a build in language module. etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxed Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 MD I dont have the time to help with any of the coding. But if you need graphics for the revamp just give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 It's just polling atm who would be interested, and if enough we can proceed as it's a open source project there will be no deadlines so everyone can work on it and improve what's done The benefit of using WCF is that it will be simply packages to add to the mccode.core module of wcf so in theory there will be not much editing needed after awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambino Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I would try but this is going to be hard for me. I could try something but I don't know how it would work out. try coding it in coldfusion and see if you could try making it free or profitable. I know it would be hard but hey, it would be cool. or you could try XML, XHTML, PHP, or HTML with php also with javascript, and css. that would be awesome out of that. or you could try something like editing v2 since I bought the codes and still have the codes with me on my backup in case I lost my server with all my codes and see if you can revamp it. try something new like those nerds who discovered they can jump.

mdshare Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Same here @Bluedevil23, I have no clue what @gambino tries to say .... unless he thinks that WCF is a scripting language like PHP, HTML, etc ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I made a new folder for this community effort and will start posting about it. As it is a community project and using a existing framework we will have to follow rules also aka coding conventions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djkanna Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Sounds like an awesome idea but projects like revamps hardly ever stick. I will help as much as I can :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlos94 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Is there a copy of this framework, I'd like to see what I'll be using before I say I will help with this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 The framework is part of the wbb lite package, seperate download of WCF doesn't exist afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Sounds like an awesome idea but projects like revamps hardly ever stick. I will help as much as I can :) Revamp is a wrong word choice, it's just to make people familiar with what they know (crime theme stuff) it's actually a project that has to be written from scratch. I'm busy on the core game script, once that is done should be easy to write modules (packages) for it and extend it to whatever theme there is. A crimes package could aswell be used on a space theme ... it's well like said making the community familiar with what they know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
