ShayF - Staff Application

I wasn’t sure as to where to place this, considering there’s not a visible forum for staff applications. If there is please feel free to move or delete this topic.

Since there isn’t a visible forum for staff applications at this time I’m not quite sure of the requirements, so I’ll try to include all the necessary information, I’d like to first tell you a bit about myself before I start the basic layout of the application.

My name is Shaio Deto Fencski (Shay), I’ve been involved with this server for 7 years, most of which was spent unpleasantly due to a large misunderstanding or something taken farther than it should have. I’ve applied 3 times now already. I was always interested in this server because of its scripts, things like offedit, flowerattach, and flowersounds were breaking edge. When I wasn’t able to obtain these scripts, I decided that I would rescript them. For the most part I did. It took me nearly 5 years to learn what I know about MTA Scripting. In the past year I’ve learned a lot more than I ever have before because I had two professionals Loki and Tails, who are quite popular for their cinema scripts which I did see in this server. They taught me mainly client side stuff, since I already knew most of the server sided things. These client side teachings included oop and dx directives, how to design dx functionality programs like windows, buttons, progress bars, toggle switches, recently developed dx gridlists, and more. OOP stands for Object Oriented Programming. It’s basically a table of data from within the server that came out in 1.5.4, this allows for easy access to certain things, example:
Instead of local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player); it would just be player.vehicle or local vehicle = player.vehicle;
I’ve learned professional formatting and code design.

Now for the basic layout:

Application

Why am I applying for staff?
It was suggested that the staff begin scripting things to make the server more fun that it already is. They were told that they would most likely receive access to subfolders within the server to design and or learn scripting. I want to help them by teaching them how to make scripts.

How old am I?
I’m 17 years old.

Can you speak coherent English?
I was born and raised in the United States, my native language is American English.

Who recommended me?
If I need a recommendation I can definitely get one.

I was informed that a revamp or rescripting of the existing scripts was not what was required here. In the past I understand that that’s pretty much all I’ve been doing. I wanted to script for this server but didn’t realize that it didn’t require any ‘rescripting’. Which is why I wont be scripting for this server. I want to teach instead. With the scripting knowledge and the tasks handed to them, any player on this server could make something simple into something outrageously fun.

I’m qualified to do this, and I have my heart in it. I hope that you accept my offer. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.

Hi Shay,

There is a Staff Application category, but it’s locked (and most likely invisible for non-forum staff) because John wasn’t really looking for staff members when the new forum came online. I’ll ask him tho if he can unlock it. I will also ask him the requirements per application, as that was also bounded on the older forum.

I’ll lock this topic temporary until the Staff Application category is reopened again.
