    Worked on ruCM server as developer since September, 2018 till May of 2019.
    Mostly coding, some amount of spriting and mapping.

    Multitile vehicle related.

    Made a lot of QoL and mechanics improvements to tank, such as:
    Adding missing objects that tank should be able to ram, inbuilt megaphone, verb to name your tank with disabling naming vehicle with labeler, inbuilt smoke launcher, switching places with both TCs inside, adding weight system, where each hardpoint has weight, tank's speed, accuracy buffs and results of bumping into xeno depending on tank weight, support for different types of ammunition, nanoUI HUD and verbs alternative for knowing tank status and weapons control. Some bug fixes.
    Making APC vehicle based on tank vehicle, that has interior and many completely different from tank mechanics.
    Remapping Garage and RC/PO quarters during addition of Vehicle ASRS elevator.

    Examples:

    Tank nanoUI with multiple types of ammo support:

    Fully working 4-direction rotating turret. Rotated by gunner same way driver rotates tank and having an option to lock turret in one direction. Code was lost but can be redone.

    How well do you know Git?
    I've been using GitKraken for ~6 months now. I know how to use branches, how to properly push commits, make PRs, how to update my repository (master and branches) from upstream. In Github. I'm sure Gitlab won't be drastically different.

    Your primary job is server development, not policing the server. You may be given Moderator-level of access but you should *not* be invoking any administrative actions unless there are no moderators or Admins online. Do you understand?
    Yes

    Anything else you'd like to add?
    Despite trying my best and spending quite a lot of time thinking of better ways of implementing features, my code can still be dirty quite often, so I'd like to receive criticism.

    Hey,

    We will be looking over all apps during a meeting this saturday. Until then, I've got a few extra questions for you.


    Why do you want to develop for CM?

    What are your biggest issues with current game balance, or with current CM in general? Any feature or aspect you really want to change?

    Have you ever logged in under a different byond ID/ckey? Have you ever been banned from the game, forum, or discord?


    And on a side note, while it's not an official rule (yet), please refrain from posting in dev applications unles you are the applicant or a developer.

    1. I've been playing here since spring of 2014, I witnessed a lot of good and bad events in CM history. Then tank came out. And it became my favourite piece of CM for the whole period it was there until it was removed for rebalancing after leak in Auguest. So after short time on ruCM I tried to implement ideas I suggested on CM throughout summer. Now that I have some epxerience both with DM and with balancing tank, I believe I can make tank on CM much better. As well as add long-waited APC and maybe some other vehicles. Since MSD left for unknown period of time, no one dedicatedly worked on tank full-time, aside from, maybe, Artouris. I can and want to be that one person to spend most of their free time on developing tank and other ground vehicles.

    2. To be honest, current balance not ideal, but it is in the best state in a very long period of time, in my opinion. Most of current balance issues are parts of bugs or are present due moving to new armor systems and changing some other systems, as far as I know. Any other small issues (like pyro flame dealing much less damage recently) will be fixed soon, hopefully.
    As I mentioned above, my real passion is tank and ground vehicles, so I'd like to work on them most of the time. Obviously, I can work on other stuff too, it's just I spent most of my time developing for ruCM with multitile vehicle code, so I am sure I can say that I know it really well and can work with it without issues.

    3. Yes, it was back in 2014, if I recall correctly. It was as part of arguement about CO whitelist we had in that period of time. I created new BYOND account and immideately joined server as CO to prove the point that even freshly created account can join as highest possible rank on CM side. I went to cryo almost immideately after than and didn't use account since. I don't even remember it's ckey at this point.
    As far as I remember, I wasn't banned on server, got one warning on forum and wasn't banned or warned on Discord. (Then again, I have really bad memory, so I could forget something. But I, personally, don't remember getting any bans or jobbans).

    Jeser,

    Thank you for the application. You passed the coder test well enough for me to accept your application!

    Please send me a PM on Discord with:
