In-game name: "Zen" Zephyran
Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:94216966
Age: 21
For how long have you played on our servers?: Just over a month, entirely on SCP-RP.
What country are you from?: UK
Time Zone: GMT/BST
Do you have a mic?: Yes
Is this your first application for Developer? If not, link previous ones: Yes. N/A.
Have you received any bans?: No.
How confident are you with GLua? (Rate yourself 1-10 using rating guide): 7
Do you have any experience with Git?:
Yes, I have used it for several years, including professionally. See my GitHub profiles here and here (the former has more recent contributions that are more reflective of my current ability). The former linked GitHub profile also gives some examples of code quality and other skills, even if most of it isn't in Lua/GLua.
Do you have previous experience as a Developer for GMod?:
Yes. I have some public work on GitHub here. The specific branch I have linked is incomplete and abandoned (maybe one day I'll revive it), but is more reflective of good code practices than the older stuff. Other branches (especially master) likely also include contributions from other developers. As you can see from the repository I have linked, I also specifically have experience working with ULX. As part of that specific dev work, I also have some experience with Hammer. Enough to potentially diagnose logic problems and make basic changes, but not enough to create entire new areas or anything like that.
For more insight onto my current overall code quality and other practices, though it isn't in Lua/GLua, see my main GitHub profile.
How many hours can you commit to developing per week?:
I should be able to meet the 4 hour minimum consistently, and possibly do more depending on what I've got on (maybe something like an extra 4 hours every other week). I know I can meet the minimum and at least slightly over, but my exact hours I don't know as I'd need to balance it properly against other commitments and hobbies, and I'm bad at estimating that kind of thing.
Why do you want to be a Developer? What can you help us with?:
I want to be a developer because I enjoy playing on the UK SCP-RP server and want to improve it. For example, there are various known bugs/issues/complaints that people have that I may be able to help with, such as object visibility issues (I don't know why it does that, so maybe I can't fix it, but I'd want to try) and 035-possessed people being able to struggle against it when they apparently shouldn't be able to.
I'd like to spend some time just fixing bugs and maybe improving performance if possible, though I would also like to contribute new content depending on the overall server plans and any ideas I come up with that are approved. I have experience with GLua itself, and I am currently towards the end of my Computer Science degree doing a full-time software engineering internship, so I also have experience with software engineering practices and Git usage.
Given my experience with ULX, I may also be able to create/work on new ULX commands that the server needs, such as those related to SCP-RP itself, which may aid server staff. I would also be interested in what moderation/similar tools are available to server staff that I can possibly work on, or create new things to fill gaps in the existing tools.
I have only played on the UK SCP-RP server, so I'd ideally want to work on content that affects that (whether shared between it and other server types, or content specific to SCP-RP, I do not mind). Without me playing on the servers, I simply don't know what their players want and what issues players have, and wouldn't know if my work is improving things for the players there.
