It's that time again!
This time around we're looking for expert scripters AS WELL AS *very* good builders to re-write some of the manipulation tools. The wiki is lacking in the Studio Tools descriptions (I think it's out of date too) so that does need to be looked at.
How to apply: Post in this thread that you're interested.
Post links (to Roblox) of past things that you've done. If you're looking at writing scripting articles, have a place that shows off your scripting work. If you're looking at writing building articles, show off a place that has a lot of CFraming or other things. I will know if you've used freemodels, so don't. Needs to be your own work.
Post a link to a Pastebin article of something that you've written before. If you even think of posting a link to a forum post you're not right for a wiki writer. Pastebin links need to be in the format of /(ID). ex: /Vz5x4ufq
Tell your friends! I'm leaving this up for 2 weeks, I'll be doing a recruitment 1 week from now and when it closes. |

| Are we doing promotions as well? I'm sad to see that I'm the only non-reviewer editor, along with XlegoX. |

I'd like to become a scripting writer. Here are some of my recent creations:
- Places http://www.roblox.com/Spectrum-A-Lateral-Thinking-Puzzle-Game-item?id=13952039 http://www.roblox.com/Superlative-City-Tycoon-item?id=13952080 http://www.roblox.com/Isengards-Legacy-RPG-item?id=13952077

I have some (out-dated) scripting lessons, that got several hundred takes. Plus, I occasionally post in SH. (1500 posts or so according to the Lua gift's winner list) |

Mmmm... I think I picked the wrong models. I don't make public models that often.
Still, the places should be of interest. |

Place:
http://www.roblox.com/ROBLOXians-of-Duty-Clan-Warfare-OLD-item?id=32360439
^ Nothing much to explain, you just have to visit the place, or play it solo (since your an admin and you can) to see.
But since when was a pastebin article required? D: |

Places:
http://www.roblox.com/Rock-Paper-and-Scissors-item?id=23630000 -This features just a simple test with rock, paper, and scissors. - -Uncopylocked to see coding.
http://www.roblox.com/Persistant-Version-item?id=46615010 -This features data peristance version. If an old version it'll alert everyone in the server, if in a new version it'll tell you, if in the same version it'll tell you. -Realize it's looking at your version and the server version, so it might not be accurate. -This also has a change log customizable to red and white text and title text. - -Uncopylocked to see coding.
http://www.roblox.com/Admin-Test-item?id=40896778 -This Place is an Admin Gui Test. It features pages. (Even though I only need one page right now.) -You can persistant ban someone or play a few tricks on them. - -Uncopylocked to see coding.

http://www.roblox.com/Subway-Test-item?id=24827513 -Made a little subway/train. Slows up and down. -Only thing bad is if someone is in the way, the train goes flying. - -Uncopylocked to see coding.
Model:
http://www.roblox.com/Killer-Door-item?id=48579568 -A killer door. Realistic in a way because it only kills you when it closes. -Uses CFrame to move (of course.)
----------
Everything else I did is pretty old, so I just gave you my knew things.
Old things are probably outdated because of all the updates. |

I wish people would tell me when this sort of stuff happens. Can't they delete my wiki account and make a new one of the same name? |

I would like to become a wiki writer. I've got over 3 years experience with Roblox building and scripting. I have a youtube channel (darthglowball) where I show off my creations. Gui physics, algorithmic pattern terrain generators, raycasting, 2D gui engines, dynamic lighting, an animation tool, particle effects system, random music generator, AI's, lighting illusions, hovercrafts, planes, tesla coil, water waves simulator, fighting machine AI's, camera collision detection, first person shooter places, whole detailed cities, rocket launchers, quite a few Gui games, parts of the universe, nukes, realistic racing game, just lot's of massive other projects and works; WHATEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE, I've already attempted or made it! ;)
Really, I think outside the box. I've learned so many things these past years, and I've gained AND shared scripting knowledge to many people. I'm creative and I really put effort into my work, if I have a good vision and idea. Old stuff that I'm quite proud of:
Particle effects (can you imagin it looks way better than Roblox's? :P); http://www.roblox.com/Particle-Effects-Smoke-and-Fire-by-arundel-item?id=16091904
Dynamic lighting; http://www.roblox.com/Artificial-Dynamic-Lighting-item?id=2644825
Tesla coil: http://www.roblox.com/Future-Tesla-Coil-Turret-item?id=32038909
First person shooter game: http://www.roblox.com/First-Person-Shooter-FPS-item?id=1781733
Thanks for reading. :) |

I'm not as good of a scripter as just about everyone here, and this is the only place that I'm really proud of, but I can explain scripting really well.

I thought that it was about time for another one of these threads. :O
Well, good luck guys. I suppose I should add some stuff to the wiki again, been busy with school work and something else which shall not be named, related to crafting. |

I wouldn't consider myself the BEST scripter, but I do like to think of myself as, even if not a Expert scripter, someone who is pretty advanced in all that. The best thing I pride myself in is my knowledge of mathematics and logical thinking. Here are the top 3 things i've recently worked on & finished (the Targeting GUI is my pride & joy at the moment ^^)
http://www.roblox.com/RPG-Targeting-Tool-WoW-Style-GUI-item?id=53837442 http://www.roblox.com/Shuffle-Deck-Script-item?id=52767354 http://www.roblox.com/Group-Battle-Script-item?id=46953078
Just to let you know, the Shuffle Deck Script was just a project to attempt and make a card-game based game, however the function that Shuffles the deck overloads the CPU with requests for random numbers (trying to randomize the deck). It is more the idea & logics behind creating the "random" deck that I feel are good enough to post about. |

| I also pride myself in having the ability to explain & teach things to others really well, in addition to the fact that I am never at odds about how to put something (So when writing or editing an article I won't waste time by sitting there for 20 minutes thinking about how to write 1 measly sentence). |

"Post a link to a Pastebin article" I figured out your plan... You're trying to make an excuse to ban all the scripters! |
