Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Hi all,

I must first say Wellcome to markus_heiden the second developer of E[POD]bot.
We will work together for better results.
Now I need by the council members vote for markus_heiden to make him a moderator for the E[POD]bot forum.

Well...if you trust him enough I guess it would be OK to let him be a mod on your forum...

Hmm now I think of it...a developer doesn't need to be a mod per se, maybe he can prove himself first for a little while? :)

Well he made a very good things to EPB. Full linux support and updated metamod headers to 1.18.
Here the correct ChangeLog from Markus:

- Used hlsdk 2.3-p2 headers from metamod.
- Created directory structure like hlsdk in epb.
- Used original metamod headers.
- Fixed bot.h: "import <util.h>" changed to "import <sdk_util.h>"
- Fixed bot.h: include "import <values.h>" for linux and "import <float.h>" for windows
- Fixed dll.cpp: removed problematic but unused declaration: "clientdata_s cd;" commented out
- Reworked Makefile
- Adapted visual studio project files.

The new version will be published with some more AI fixes by me. ;)

Fine with me, if you trust him... :)

Usually when I make a decision like this I first have to know the person well enough to say yes or no. I'll have to abstain as I do not know markus_heiden well enough at this point in time.

Hi folks,

I am Markus Heiden from Hamburg / Germany. I am 32 years old, an "Informatik" (computer science) student at the university of hamburg and work for a java software development company. I am an experienced programmer (~20 years), but primarily in java and less in c/c++.

Currently I am active in the leJOS development (lejos.sourceforge.net) too. Since this year I am a member of a fun cs clan (www.mosleyland.de) which plays the wc3ft mod. Because I am setting up the servers for that clan I searched a bot for cs to get more action on our servers. After searching a lot, I found out that podbot must be the bot of choice for cs and I am glad to see that the development is not dead. But because it seemed that there was no current linux version (of epb) I tried to build one of the sources. During this I updated epb to the newest metamod api.

For the future I would like to refactor epb to be more oo to get new functionality easier to develop. My primary focus lies on getting a stable linux version of epb and to extend my c/c++/unix knowledge.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

The poll still needs council member votes.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

I'll vote yes if no one objects, but that still won't be enough at this point in time.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

From your posts on this forum you seem like a cool guy ;)

/me votes YES

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

So botmeister, we count your vote as "yes" ? You forgot to set it.

If we can, then we'll have enough council member votes to validate the poll.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

BUMP!!!
One more council member vote is needed.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Can You guys just release some result of work made by markus_heiden (I mean new epodbot release with his fixes) - then the people here will see the result of his work - it will be more easy for them to decide to make him a mod (the same way THE_STORM has been moded : first - release - then Councils made him as a mod).

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

OK I will add some more improvment for the famas and galil usage and this weekend EPBv5.1 will be released. ;)

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Heyyo,

Well, I have checked over the bot's developpment (I feel soo outta the loop cause I'm busy as hell, lol), but from what he says he seems to be a good candidate. THE_STORM trusts him, so do I. I vote yes. :)

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

excuse my lack of reply on this subject....

i voted yes!

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Validated. I commit the changes right now.

*edit* done.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Thanks. ;)

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Thanks for your trust in me.

I hope I will be a good developer / mod :-)

I am currently refactoring some parts of the code which will definitivly not make it into the 5.1 release. The work I want to do (refactoring / bugfixes) is more behind the scenes instead of implementing lots of new features. When I am ready with refactoring / understanding the code fully (which will take some time), I will maybe add / improve some features.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

I don't trust one-eyed freaks :P

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Hi,

I don't really understand what you want to say to me, TruB... :-)

BTW: You may call me Markus.

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Trub has his once in a while oddities... ignore him ;) :P

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
 

Heyyo,

Lol, he was saying he's trying to get himself nominated as a moderator cause he spams... err... fills the forum with knowlege... yes... :P

And then he said congrats to you Markus, cause he's such a nice guy. :)

Re: Mod poll for markus_heiden
