Using arcane techniques and dark arts, I am reanimating Francis Chung's useful thread from the old scripting fourm.

Speak up here if you are willing to help people out with scripting problems, and/or wanting to be hired for scripting jobs.

I am not available for projects at this time, but I am almost always willing to help people with their scripting problems.

I am a trancendant scripter of indominitable skill and amazing talent. I should totally be employed by Linden Labs.

Which reminds me I've got to send them an updated resume...



Anyway if you need anything scripted I'm your squirrel.

From simple things like Doors and Animated Textures to more complicated projects like physical or non-physical elevators, and collossal doom fortresses, I can do it all.



I like to help out, and I often slack off on my own projects, so don't be afraid to disturb me. :)

- Always willing to answer questions, though probably the easiest thing (from both point of view of being Asker and Askee) is just to post the question in the forums.

- available for hire for SL stuff, or anything I can do remotely really. Real-world prices, so ask everyone else first :-)

Thread necromancy, eh?

I'm available to do custom work starting at a minimum price of L$5000.

I'll answer questions, but if you want me to actually teach you to script, it's L$2500 an hour.

Heh, if everyone doesn't already know, you can ask me questions anytime, I prefer the forum for Q&A, since the answer is public and archived, but via IM is fine.

Help with a broken script is also pretty much free, but don't push your luck too much ;)

I don't do tutoring, no matter what (I **really** suck at teaching structurally.)

Commission prices are based on how fun it was and how hard I had to work at doing the commission. (Range: Free to L$10,000).

Whatever you do, NEVER ever send me a teleport request, unless I ask you. This annoys me greatly, espicially when I accidentially click on it and am dragged half a world away from what I was working on. Prepare to be orbited if you do this. :p

I am at the point now where I am helping fix broken scripts / custom write new ones quite regularly, and as a result have run into all kinds of things I would have never used on my own (at least not that soon), I welcome this. Add me to the list :)

I know my way around scripts well enough and am willing to help out those who don't. I do better on smaller projects though. Just get in touch with me and we'll talk further.

I'm willing to help with questions, as well as help people at the several scripting courses I hold each week at the University of Second Life.

We also have a large selection of scripts from the old forums, transcribed there for your use, all free of charge, at the University's Library which has been around for several months.

I'm avaiable to help with any questions, Not the greatest scripter but I've been scripting since day one, even back in the old Beta days! ;) And my knowledge of C++ made that transition real easy (Hooray for scripting systems that resemble a real programming language!)

I am also available for hire, just get in touch with me with what you need done and well work something out.

I would be happy to offer free troubleshooting help to anyone who runs into a problem or needs help getting started.

My greatest strength is probably software architecture, so if you need help designing a project BEFORE you code, let me know.

I may be available to write code for you, depending on the project and price offered. Also interested in revenue-sharing arrangements.

Heh, ditto. I prefer designing and optimizing a system than repetitive grunt work. If you need any tips regarding that feel free to IM me.

I'm a free scripter, but if you want to tip me, it all goes to VERTU anyway. Anywho, I'm a little backed up, so I may not always be able to write your script 100% of the time, but I can always help you. And I'll TRY to find time to write your script :) Did I mention I'm free?

I'm Free too.

Free to answer scripting questions/write scripts for you/help you with script problems etc. I even do private scripting classes for one or more people and since I'm not a professional programmer I won't throw heaps of technical words at you or anything. I have also been told by past students that I am very patient, hehe.

So please just IM me even if I'm not inworld I can usually reply via email.

Don't add me to the list. I'm generally a mean person that will answer polite scripting questions with unhelpful contempt. (Think of me as Catherine Omega, without the helpful part)

Requests for contract work will result in jives and sneers.

Requests that I write you a script free of charge will result in mocking you to your face, as well as among my close-knit circle of friends.

Wednesday, where can I get one of those sarcasm meter things? :)

I'm available to answer questions and give help.

I am available for projects given the right motivation or the right project.

Projects i will turn you down for if asked:
Casino equipment
Weapons*
Sheilds

*depends on the type of weapon.

I can help.

I'm decent with particles, especially when you can describe in detail how you want them to behave.

I'm decent in information gathering.

I'm decent in knowing how to find out how to do something.

I'm not the -best- scripter out there, but I'm decent, and generally available if I'm online. While I've got projects of my own, I hate working on them for extended periods of time, so any excuse to work for someone else is an excuse I'll usually take.

Hey hi!
08-23-2004 16:10
Hee...

I'm quite happy to help out with strange scripting questions! I might not know the answer right off, but I'm stubborn enough to figure 'em out. ^^

A bit too unreliable for actual projects, but hey, it can't hurt to ask, right? ^^
