Death Wore Endless Feathers - C++ Coder for plugins.

[Scavenger]

Project:
Death Wore Endless Feathers - A Cartoon Cyberpunk Adventure Game

Details:
A 90s retropunk adventure game about a lazy hacker and his friends working against The Man. GiP page HERE. It is a 320x200, 8 bit game.

Positions Available:
Currently, I only have one open position I need.

Programmer - I need someone familiar with the AGS plugin system to create a couple of plugins. One being a smacker video player, and the other a modified MOD player. I have very little actual C++ experience, and though I would have loved to create this plugins myself, I don't think I'd be able to do it in any reasonable timeframe and still get my game done.

Smacker Player: I need someone to strip down FFMPEG and use their smacker decoder to create something I can use in AGS. Since my game is in 8bit, I can't use the built in video player (and using FLICs would produce soundless 48mb monstrosities, instead of neat 2mb files). Having it render on the background layer (as a "replacement" background image) would be ideal. It shouldn't be too hard to control AGS's palette from the Smacker plugin (or likewise have the smacker plugin use AGS's palette.) This is very important, as I would love to have animated cutscenes in my game. Someone is working on this.

MOD player: I also need someone to modify a tracker library so that I have in-AGS control of the volume of each of the playable channels, and the speed of the music. I have attempted this before with MIKMOD to no success (I only managed to switch on and off channels, not adjust their individual volumes), so I'm hoping someone more experienced than me would be able to help me with this.

Deadline:
I'm looking to have the prototype finished by christmas, and all the relevant placeholders put in place by then.
