Code Bounty: Var Editable Timestop
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2019 9:25 am
Putting up a £10 GBP/$12 USD/$16 CAD (claimer's preference via paypal or steam game equivalent) code bounty to modify the timestop spell to be var editable.
Currently, the timestop spell is hard coded to be a 3x3, and the duration is similarly hard coded to be 5 seconds. I would like this changed, so that the spell can be modified by var-editing to allow modifications by admins/people with varedit.
The Core Spec:
The timestop spell must be modified to be var-editable on area of effect (range) and duration. The functional effect of the Timestop spell as given to a wizard by his spellbook must be the same as before changes. This is to ensure the codebase has a high chance to want to merge the changes. If there are unforeseen code spaghetti reasons that make this clause unreasonable then it will be waived.
Optional:
The clock graphical effect that is summoned when timestop is cast should probably remain at it's current size regardless of actual range. I have no strong preference for this but it'd be nice.
Break Clause
If in the process of PRing the change, the codebase makes reasonable requests for changes, and in my opinion those changes are unreasonably refused or delayed by you, compromising the change's ability to be merged, then only half of the bounty (base and any bonuses from stretch goals) will be payable. To reassure, this will only be called upon if you're like, goof levels of un-cooperative.
Might post some stretch goals with extra bounty later.
