"I don't know if I can help you, but I'll try."

Post by Andyops »

Hi everyone,

Just introducing myself here, I'm an Aussie currently in the 3rd year of my Software Engineering degree, and work full time as a Trainee Programmer at (insert employer name here) working with C++.

I've loved Morrowind ever since my English teacher recommended it to me when I was 13 (I'm 20 now and still listen to the soundtrack at work to get me in "the zone"), and now that I use Linux almost exclusively I'd do anything to bring my favourite game of all time to the platform :)

From what I've read you've had an influx of new developers (blame reddit, it's why I'm here :p) So beginner work is scarce... Luckily I have experience working with 20 year old codebases thanks to my job; So I'm sure that given enough time I can settle in :)

Nice to meet you all, I have a feeling that you and I are about to become very close :twisted:

Andrew. :)

Hey there,
what an awesome english teacher you had, I only have bad memories of mine :)!
We had an amazing influx around christmas but I think all of them who had no real experience with c++ gave up (at least that's what I'm assuming, since I hear nothing anymore from them), so i guess there are some unfinished jobs left. If you are a windows developer you might have some problem setting your build up, there's a thread going on for that because the wiki is not up-to-date. If you manage to set it up as a windows dev, congratulations, few of the new devs have come this far :). If you managed to build up your environment in windows, please help filling up the gaps in the instructions mentioned in the thread, it's still a WIP.
And again I almost forgot...
Welcome, hope you'll enjoy your stay!

It is easier to win in russian roulette six times in a row than to set up windows environment.
I think we need an installation wizard, which can install all required libraries to correct paths and do all other work...

Took me about a day... (I was at work and had little pauses along the way, so in reality was it an hour to setup plus install of OS) but I got a dev environment running in a qemu/kvm winxp. Wasn't that hard.
