READ THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE A SUGGESTION

[andy1976uk]

Things you should not suggest:

• Wired electricity. (currents, batteries, etc)
• Length limit for wires
• Anything which requires a .DLL
• Multiple wired cameras to a screen.
• E2 Camera
• E2 Function to pause current execution (wait(), pause(), sleep(), so on; use timers instead).
• E2 Function to include code from string or file.
  

  I once made an addon that allowed you to compile code at runtime. However, the E2 parser + compiler are incredibly slow. So slow as to make it anything but useful, and all the parsing had to be done in one tick. So I abandoned it. And don't expect it to return.

• E:wirelink() or E:createWire()
• E2 code / dupe protection

Before suggesting, ask yourself these questions:

1. Does it already exist??? Maybe it's already in the Wiremod SVN or maybe it's in the unofficial 3rd party Wiremod SVN (http://www.wiremod.com/forum/wiremod...xtras-svn.html) or maybe it's floating around on garrysmod.org or facepunch.com. Make sure you know what's out there already before making requests.
2. Has it been suggested before? Check by:
   • Using the Search button (top-right)
   • Google is a great search engine, after your keywords, add site:www.wiremod.com/forum/ideas-suggestions/ . Doing that gives good results.
   • Check the list at the top.
3. Is wiremod.com really the place to suggest? Anything involving other addons doesn't belong here.
4. Is it REALLY worth someone taking time out of their day to read about, let alone try coding? No-one wants to think of their ideas as shit, but think very carefully before you submit.
5. Is there REDUNDANCY in your suggestion? For example are you inadvertently suggesting the same thing twice using different terminology (such as "I want a Wired axis AND I want a Wired motor!" - Wired motor becomes axis if it's got no power applied to it *sighs*). Think!
6. Could YOU implement the idea yourself? For some help with Lua coding look at these:
   Main Page - GMod Wiki - GarrysMod.com
   Programming in Lua - contents
   Wiremod Lua Coding - Wiremod Forums
   It's not that hard, it's fun, it looks good on your CV, you'll get lots of chicks and remember there's many more ideas than devs, so more devs are always needed.
7. If you like someone's suggestion, say so! If you like someone's suggestion so much you decide to try coding it yourself, then let them know you're working on it - there's no point of everyone working on the same things.
8. Don't make "Should X be implemented?" or "Is Y a good idea?" polls. They are totally useless and do not help determine whether or not the wire team will accept a suggestion.
9. Don't do these things first, that's fine, then you have no use to society and should kill yourself.

Can you remove those huge whitespaces, it's hard to read

Done.

Updated, read it before making a suggestion.

If anyone knows something which has been suggested again and again to add to the "Things you should not suggest." list, feel free to edit or post a reply.

Can we also make this a list of Frequently Asked Ideas? Eg. E2 Functions. The current one seems kindof small.

Not like anyone is gonna read it
