dark lights has already been implemented in the new update.
DarkAI would be a hugely welcome addition to the FPSC engine, but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon. If you haven't opened up the FPSC source yet, and you're not "that good" at programming, I think the best I can do is wish you luck.
Character animation wise, if you want to help people with that, I guess you need to start off by studying the FPSC standard biped, and learn how the engine uses the different sets of animations within it. Rolfy, Loc and myself have been making some pretty big leaps in character animations, and I think people are gradually starting to realise that the standard Biped is way to big (file size wise!), there is a far better way of making characters, but I'm ill equiped to implement it.
finally I'd say that respect around here is based on results. If you arrive here and say you're going to do all this stuff, but with no evidence of your abilities, you're just gonna get slated. If I were you I'd keep it on the down low until you have something to actually show.
Peas and goodluck
