    GameMasters Team

    We at Xfire are proud to present the GameMasters team. What we do is submit & test custom coding so that it can be added to the client sooner than if Xfire had acquired the game themselves. We are looking for candidates in the EU area that are capable of custom coding, but will accept people in the US as well. If you are interested, PM me along with some examples of your coding. Links to threads/blogs are acceptable if you don't want to have to retype the code.

    RE: GameMasters Team

    A number of the games that were released in the last update was coding from the GM team. We work closely with the game support team to get them pushed out.

    We currently have 6 members (4 in the US, 2 in the EU) & are looking for 4 more. Once the steps have been finalized, GM member will get a title under their names on the forums (at least this is what I'm told). People who are not behaving themselves on the forums will not be considered as candidates for the GM team, so don't bother applying if you are one of these people.

    RE: GameMasters Team

    ok ok, i have read the post and im pretty sure i dont fill in, but because i play a lot of games, i think i still should make this.

    Recently, latin american videogames & spanish translations of korean/US games have been in an massive breakout, just to show this, axeso5 game, operation 7 latino, since it was in beta and now official, had recorded over 170 thousand logs in a single day, and thats a lot for a spanish MMO.
    i had make the xfire.ini code for that game to work on my pc, but still xfire dev team doesnt do that, even as i asked for support on that game.
    This is the golden oportunity for me to reveal spanish translated games to the worldwide xfire community, giving people the access to that games

    RE: GameMasters Team

    While we aim to get every game ever created supported, priority has always (and will continue to) go to games the general public wants the most.

    The more diverse our GM team is, the broader our game support will be.

    It takes time not just for us to create and test the codes, but for the Xfire staff to create the game support pages and link everything together in their databases. This is the reason priority always went to commonly requested games.

    AAA games have usually always gotten day one support updates (single games). I hope the new staff will continue that trend.
    I don't mean to sound rude, but I can't help the way people interpret my words.

    If you need help, feel free to PM or add me (but state why in the friend request or I will deny it).

    RE: GameMasters Team

    Heyyo,

    Yeah it's great to finally get some of the code that us members have worked on to get added to Xfire! I know some people can already feel the difference we've made (IE Global Agenda non-steam users cause I know that was a pretty hefty thread lol). I'm hoping to continue monitoring this forum section and adding games I see as active and requested plenty.. so keep posting in this forum people!
    Later-a-much, and LONG LIVE THE D!, ThE_MarD

    Resigned XFGM.

    RE: GameMasters Team

    with custom coding i reckon it should be what xfire in total has for the normal startup and detect exe files ? or is it something else entirely

    knowing i have an aptitude to making xfire detect games trough manual detect after modding the xfiregames.ini file
    for instance steam based games where i have the none steam version and such

    if entirely different then iam not sure i can do it

    i do have several different options of acquiring game data for use(the startup and detect exe files that is)

    RE: GameMasters Team

    I have gotten all games working through xfire and help everyone on a daily basis.

    I have already been through this with people about getting this to work.

    If you would like my help for any game let me know, add me to staff, and I'll help take care of just about all requests that come in. If not then I'm going to continue helping people 1-1 and in private.

    For the record I already have The Cursed Crusade and Battlefield 3 working.

    It's you guys call.

    We decided we couldn't use you as an XFGM because you were very open on the idea of piracy on the forums. That's not to say that you can't help out on these forums with coding however, we just can't have you as an Xfire official.
