Well i have an idea but i dont know how to code and i was looking for people to help me. I'll post more information once i get some helpers.
I was thinking about making like a new game mode for classic which would be like real life. It's where you join the game and u look for jobs build houses and do everything that keep you alive. i think this will be a great game type! What do you think?
Well first you would need to tell what system you are coding in..you have a Mcforge server,mcstorm,fcraft,what? Or do you plan on making your own server software? If so, good luck.
This looks like something that would be somewhat advanced, it will be hard to find a coder for this without paying. Good luck.
I have Mcforge, and thanks about good luck i think ill spend time finding out how to code. i dont have much money so i cant pay.. but thanks
I would suggest starting to learn how to code in Java is great if you are serious in learning how to code, since you can learn a lot of the basics in it, but coding the command idea you want to make takes quite a bit more pratice, and probably a lot of work if I understood it correctly. I think it would be a cool idea for classic though, mabye like something where it randomly gives you a job..such as place (amount) of blocks..or other jobs. It wouldn't be impossible I suppose. It technically does requires alot less work to code in C# then Java on Mcforge, but Java is better to start out with for coding.
thank you for saying all that. But i need to know how do i get started to the coding world. Is there a certain website?
MCForge wont work because it has a /fly command. u you will also have to disable hacks on the server too. otherwise people will be flying around and cheating by getting to work throught the air and stuff. they will also be able to fly through walls. so, dont use MCForge, and also remember to disable hacks.
This isn't really relative, since the original poster hasn't even begun making the command.
You can /cmdset fly owner...which makes fly only for the owner rank..or you can /cmdset fly (rank) - to any rank you want.
If you type "-hax" in the MOTD of the server, it will prevent hacking.
Mcforge is probably the best all around free server software out there for classic. FCraft is kinda better in a pure freebuild and is more stable, but I prefer Mcforge. Mcforge offers their own compiler for commands, their own auto-generated skeleton class, and a lot more, which makes it better for creating commands which is what the original poster plans to do.
Btw, If you are wanting to know how to code, Google has the answers. Or ask Mcforge.net.
i tried to search in google coding for custom servers but all i got was some software with some command prompt codes and i tried it BUT it wont work for some reason. if you want we could do a session in team viewer and you could get me started? thanks
I wouldn't be able to help you a lot, I can bearly grasp basics of coding in Java, Google does have answers though.. have you tried "how to code in Java?"What helps me a lot though is examining code from custom commands posted at mcforge.net. Being able to recognize what the string does will increase your skills. Also, if you don't know how to start making commands in Mcforge, heres how to set it up.
First do: /cmdcreate (the command name you want to make)
Go into your server folder to extra-commands- and then to "source." Find the .cs file that has the name of the command you used with /cmdcreate, then open it.
It has an auto generated skeleton class which is pretty much a example layout on commands, and thats where you are able to code at from notepad. You can also open it in Visual Studios which can help majorly.
I'll do more searches on google and start on the cmdcreate you told me about. Thanks for the help, and once i get the server up (if it ever works out) ill let you test it out first. If you have any other tips. Please tell me!
i cant open the .cs file. what should i do?
that's a bad idea for classic, and many smp servers already have that. you don't need to code it, just get the full minecraft, bukkit and you got exactly that.

Maybe, i'll try to help you, but i dont really much know about coding
