Need a lua coder for movie theater map (No, I'm not the creative direction) - Garry's Mod

Title says most of it. I'd like to reimplement the gmodtower theater into a movie theater map using their Dlls (and their shared lua for the theater screen) as a source. Bitching that doesn't belong here- 1. You're stealing code!!!1one No, we're using Dlls and looking at code as an example 2. Cool, you want us to do everything while you give "ideas" Again, No, I'm a server host, I made the map, all you have to do is the lua coding 3. What's my pay? My gratitude and that of the people who use the map, along with being in the credits 4. This isn't possible! it will lag to hell! Really? you must've not made it into the gmodtower server yet. Edit- Thing you CAN bitch at me for- Accidentally putting this under gamemodes...it could've fit under mapping OR lua but no....I had to accidentally make it here...... PM me with how you want to be contacted if interested

Good luck at what you are doing,and I look forward to seeing it succeed majorly!

Why copy GModTower? Also what do you expect if you post a thread like this? People to love the idea? It's not your shared Lua and you shouldn't use it. Come up with something original.

Would be cool to have a Hangout gamemode / map ( A place to hangout Duh ) with like a movie place where you can like !votelink [url]www.hulu.com/thatmoiveyouwanted[/url] or something like this to play on the sceen

[QUOTE=bekka2712;16413892]Have you looked at garrysmod.org at all? There a youtube lua coded tv...

From your perspective, we wouldn't have 90% of the programs/OSs we have today.

Does anyone like my idea ?

the theater would likely be coded to only accept the FLVs i put on the server and youtubes, so I don't voteURLing would work. On peak I would have playtimes where I will set up FLVs, and off peak I will find a way to have youtube videos voted for.

Currently, people outright hate anything something even close to GMT. Even if its soure code, they prefer you don't use it. See this thread: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=781665[/url]

While I typically respect that, we're in a situation where you're talking about a project which has been closed off on a server that's full 24/7. also, I started this map before gmt came out knowing full well the lua part wouldn't be my strong point. This is mostly a project I started for my friends to watch films when we can't hang out that I will release to everyone else for them to do the same.

The FAQs are a bit outdated. We don't want you to use our code - at all. GMod Tower should inspire you to push for even more. Do something more creative/original.

As a sound designer I've met sound engineers who will desperately guard their most precious audio secrets that make their work sound great, because it's all they have left for a reputation and standing in the industry. But, there are others that freely share their tips and tricks, mostly because by the time they share that information, they've already moved on to bigger and better things or have found a better way of doing it. I can definitely understand you not wanting your work being ripped off, because trust me, I know how you feel. But in an environment like this where your work is freely available to be looked at, copied, stolen, and edited, it seems almost impossible to keep your work private from the public. If people are mindlessly copying that code, so be it. The unoriginal and uncreative users will slowly fade out from all the monotony. Judging from the huge amount of effort put into GMODTower, you can easily one-up them.

Yes you've made what some claim to be great code, but what are you really contributing to the community if you dont let that code advance us other than letting some gamers drool at their screens as they try to get into your server. You want us to one up you? the easiest way is by learning from your code. The chrome dll is a dll, if we implemented it, we wouldn't remake it, it's redundant and stupid (redundancy is something to avoid like the plague when coding, no?) and the movie theater code isn't ground shattering (even I can see that when I look at it and I don't even know lua) so if someone were to make something similar, the code would turn out almost the same whether you look at the GMT code or not. I won't ramble on in a forum post though, to sum up, unless you make an engine, all the content, and so forth, nobody wants to see a giant "BUY" button on your product, and as long as it's free, why not share it? especially when you can't even fill the game's demand. Accomplish and give back to society to help improve it, that's a general rule of life.

If they were "giving to the community" they would have released the serverside content. The only reason they gave it too us is because people would have complained about having to go into the server, and downloading it there.

They gave it us because part of the project was to let people play it. This wasn't private. If you're talking about the content pack, the lua content I have (what little of it i got) is NOT from the content pack, it's pulled from what your client receives when you join their server. Anyone who played on GMTower has this file, they just don't know where it is (since MacD expressed his current opinion and also changed the FAQ just to contradict me, I wont reply to PMs asking for how to go through them)

Once again, if this guy is serious, he should contact this guy [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16355059&postcount=26[/url] He says the code is "I already made the youtube player, theater, radio, and arcade.. It's not hard to do." , so ask him for source code.

Just wasn't sure, but thanks for letting me know. I would probably post it again in another 13 posts, cause I didn't wanna leave you hanging.

I would have thought MacDGuy and the GMT team wouldn't have minded people looking at the code and learning from it, leading them to go and write their own stuff. Unfortunately, that rarely happens, and it's more likely people will just blatantly copy code and or ideas into their own projects.
