not that I want to turn you down, but everybody needs people with coding ability.

It is the essential of every server as there is mostly no lack of ideas but of people with time to code (and who can).

It would be better if you and your stuff would take the time to learn "how to".

And be picky if someone offers his services Wink some just try to sneak admin rights from you.

I have seen dozens of sites which coders offer thier services on. You can hire them, some work cheap, only $10 hour. Maybe even a less experienced one will work for less, seen many who want the experience of making a real project who will work for much less. Based on my own experience, making a new game only takes about 4-6 months (not including beta test time), so you would need the funding to cover that much for the coders income. Hiring 2 or more coders would make the project go faster but would require a skilled manager to keep the coding team on track and in sync with each other.

If you dont have the means to hire a coder, then take a few months studying at any one of the many tutorial sites online and maybe in a year or so you would be able to code your own game from scratch.

Take the Green Dragon game for example, written by several experienced coders and took nearly 3 years to complete - granted they worked in their spare tiime - but it gives you an idea of how much time is needed to develope a game from scratch and then work out the numerous bugs.

1.  Is this a request for a module that has a mafia component?

2.  Or is this a request for a whole game that is similiar to something like Legend of the Green Dragon but is based on a Mafia-style motif?


If it's issue number 1, then you should try to put out your ideas in more details to see if there is interest to code your module (or help you code it).

If it's issue number 2, then I think Robert outlined a good plan for finding help.

not to mention using the translation wizard ye can take existing scenarios and change the text to mafia oriented themes.

the translation wizard by nightborn can be easily used to re-word english to english. it is not strictly for translating into another language.

it is simple enough to use to be able to do the changes thyself.

I'm willing to do it if so I enjoy helping people. I'm having a hard time some reason my game has suffered some suffer coding error. I haven't messed with lib but it's acting weird and giving me trouble.
