Should I go open-source with the Madoshi Everystuff script?
#1

I've been having issues with client crashes and I just can't sort it out. I had the idea last night to make a 'project' out of the script here, allowing public download and modification so long as people post their changes,fixes etc. Good changes will be incorporated into the production official server, with credits and a statue tribute in a nice place that shows everyones name when approached.

I think it would make a better server for all, and might also be a learning experience for everyone. A lot of people will have a say in what gets put in the server...and takes the guesswork off my shoulders.

Final vote dictates whether or not I do this on Monday. Post your thoughts on this issue here and I'll tally them up and act accordingly

If you have no idea what Im talking about, check my sig or look on the official tab for Everystuff all-in-one

I think it's a great idea but the only problem is that there are people who would use it for personal use (running on their servers or copying chunks into other modes) instead of helping you out with the script. I guess it's best to give it only to people you trust.

As much as an open-source server project would be good, ignorant twats will rip your work. I'd say give the source to people who can prove they are good with the coding language, know what they're doing and know how to incorperate some of the things people suggest.

This should be in the everything or nothing section since its not offically SA-MP related.

Posting about the possiblity of making an official server's script public isnt SAMP related? Interesting...

RE: people ripping my work...let them. The point is to use community input and help to make a better server. I won't lie....the new visibility of the server is whats driving this. If it was still occupied by an average of 2 people I wouldn't consider this...as there would be no point.

EDIT: of course there will be a FEW things that i will retain to make sure the server stays unique.

Good idea but alot of people are just going to make a server with the exact same name as your's and your script and then try and take your players.

yeah that's right they will say "I made it" and maybe they will get many players on their server, but you can try to release it....
