I have offered to help get this done. I'm a professional programmer and can provide credentials. I'm not John Carmack (or even remotely close), but I'm no slouch. Anyways, PM sent to Nilbog.
All it would take would be agreement on how the numbers are supposed to work.
I am very fluent in C++ and have professional game coding experience (3 major shipped titles). Any scripting language can be worked with, reference book in hand and a week's worth of practice outside of the engine.
I would understand if they don't want other people barging into their carefully maintained code base. God knows I understand and respect that. But, the melee problem has to be fixed or they may as well scrap it and start over when they can get a fix on the melee problem. Or just accept that the server will be very unbalanced and that people will give up over the issue. This server needs to grow not shrink.
I love the server and I am having fun. But, the frustration is mounting. I doubt I'll give up, but if it's still there a month from now, it's quite possible I would make a caster like everyone else or take a break until I read that it's fixed.
