    Default Help me to help you.

    Hello,

    Most of you have probably noticed the news in SCAR lately...

    Ever since the beginning SCAR has had a pretty undetailed and crappy manual... Now, people sometimes complain about that, but I don't have the time to create a detailed one myself... However, there are loads of very experienced scripters amongst you who have loads of experience with these functions. There for I started the open documenting project in an attempt to create a self-sustaining SCAR documentation that is written by SCAR's users. If you would like to help with this, it would be very much appreciated. The manual is part of the Freddy1990.com Wiki. You will need to PM me on my forums and request a Wiki Writer title to be able to edit it though (to protect against vandalism).

    Now, you can also help in another way... After SCAR 3.20 is released there won't be many new versions anymore because I'm planning to finally quit the 3.xx series and start developing SCAR 4.0. I made the plans for SCAR 4.0 quite a while back, almost a year now, even started coding, but I bumped into a problem... SCAR 4.0 is supposed to feature a completely new and improved user interface which is built up out of pay-components which will greatly improve the user experience. Now, I spend loads of my free time developing SCAR, so I'm sorry, but buying these components myself really isn't an option... So I hope that donations will be sufficient to purchase these components... Also with sufficient donations I'll also be throwing in an auto-updater as I'll be able to use the donations to pay part of my site as well so I don't need people to go there every time to download SCAR and click ads anymore... When you donate while logged into your forum account the donation will be registered to that account and you will receive a Donator title on the forums, as well as your donated amount will be displayed there. Once the system is entirely finished (at like 85% atm) there will also be a top 10 donator list on the donate page. Currently the donate page already holds the goals list which shows the current donating goals, at the moment only 1 component is listed there, it shows a progress bar to indicate how close we are to getting sufficient donations to purchase it. Also most goals will show a link to a page listing some of the main features that they will provide the user with. You can find the donations page here. Be sure to check out the current goal's features, maybe that will convince you to pitch in a little. (Also thanks to Janilabo who has already donated $80)

    Greetz from your friendly neighborhood SCAR developer.

    The idea is to write an online manual. Once that's somewhat in decent shape I can possibly write a parser that will take parts of it to turn into a new offline manual.

    do you have to get everything from that page? or can you get each individual component as you get the money for it (to keep you busy )?
    i hope thats not the only different thing from the form editor .

    if i had online money i'd donate, but i doubt my parents would give me their credit card to do so .

    Everything on that page is included in the $560, it has to be payed in total, but it's far from all features, for example, the form editor will look and work pretty much exactly like in Delphi.NET, it will also have a new and better inspector and such... There's gonna be more goals on the page though, but atm that's the most important one, I'm also looking into having a new icon designed and such, kinda searching for the best price on that... I'll also be donating from ad money myself...

    Not a problem at all, it's a really small thing compared to what you have done for all of us past these months from your spare time, too bad not so many over here in SRL realize that...

    People, SCAR Scripters & Users, there is so much more Freddy could add in SCAR, if you just could support him even a bit with donating some money - it shouldn't be a problem for most of us. Like Freddy said, buying the components and other stuff for SCAR from his pockets is not going to be an option, which of course is understandable.

    I found these small examples of what we COULD get with the component (that is a current goal in Freddy1990.com donations page) to script/form editor, just imagine people... Together we can reach the goal, it's not that far away.

    Like I said, Freddy has done so much already for us... ..so guys and gals, don't you think now it is time for us to help him with SCAR Divi project? I am ready to support the project as much as I can.

    Think about it people.

    Now we wait... It will take at least the first goal for me to get started on SCAR 4, though preferably the second one would be achieved as well (I might be able to pinch $70 off of the second one with an academic license, but I'll keep it at the max total and try to get academic when it's sufficient, the system will compensate when i enter the final spent amount, that's why there's a +/- infront of the totals)

    I wouldn't even consider it, and have you even looked at the donate page?

    EDIT:
    A first goal has been reached! http://freddy1990.com/donate.php
    Mainly thanks to Janilabo of course, but lordsaturn pitched in as well I hope more will follow, and if you can't donate, I'll be donating ad money that I don't need for paying my server as well.
