Spots that need to be filled.

I thought I'd bring this up :

Mappers - If you're interested in mapping for MS:S, let either dRkill or myself know. I can now provide you with over 1800+ different textures (some are pretty bad but I might as well include them all, only 60mb and you may have use for them all) Hopefully this will entice you to map for us, who knows.

Examples :

Textures can be downloaded here.

Coders - We need at least one more coder to be able to put the mod together.

Right now I'm working on the weapons and and some other things. We need people who can :

- Add a character saving system (please dridgien )
- Create a character selection menu ala MS:C.
- Create all the entities needed for mappers for the first release.
- Create a basic screen of some sort that can show the stats.

3D Artists - WE STILL NEED MODELERS!

- Weapon Modeler or
- Player/Armor Modeler.

2D Artist - We still need someone to make a basic HUD (look at AoC for an example of what I would like)


General Artist - A nice background for the main menu would be nice.


If theres anything I'm missing, let me know. Perhaps this could be stickied?

I know theres a post for "If you want to develop contact so and so" but it doesn't really say what we need.

Also, if someone could update the ModDB with the developer positions, that would be "swell!"

Link?

i believe its a "contact him" sorta thing...which i may do...

 

[The Man In Black]

No, Squirrel. You have plenty of work in MS:C to do -.-

 

[PBarnum]

I think it should be a download thing. Because contacting him would take even more time and would constrict others who just want to download it.

Working on weapons? I sure hope that your not making them by hard coding them all in, because that going to get really annoying later on. You should be working on a way for it to read file(s) to get the weapon data from.

If you can't figure out how to get a basic stats panel, than I suggest that you take a backseat role for awhile and learn [some more c++ and/or your way around the SDK]. As I have said before there are many tutorials on how to do these things.

As for needing my help with creating a character saving system, It appears that the mod is a long ways away form needing it at this point and if you don't have character saving you don't need a character selection screen.

I don't mean to be harsh, I just think that you shouldn't really offer to help without knowing what your doing. It's like constructing a building without knowing much about construction. Sure you can hammer boards together and make something that might look like a house, but its going to be full problems and safety issues. The same thing would happen with the mod, you might have some things 'working' but they'll be hacky and have lots of bugs in them. Just spend a few months to really learn OOP and how the SDK is structured. Things like how network variables and msg's work will really help on how to setup the basic things and going through lots of tutorials will also help build on your knowledge of the SDK.

I lol'd

 

[HomestarR]

I see what you did there.

I also lol'd.

How do you solve all problems? Just get out!

 

[tehrilez]

Go flame me in the other thread if you have to, no need to be twats in my help wanted thread.

 

[Shurik3n]

There obviously is the need or I wouldn't have done it.

 

[Stars]

Good job with the textures!

I was just thinking, would it be possible to steal some stuff from PVK2? Probably not but its a very nice looking game, and a lot of the textures would fit perfectly.

Could even create some new types of areas! Islands and such, that you get to by a scripted boat ride. Would be awesome.\

and on that topic, *reinstalls hammer*

stop working on msc and let's do stuff for ms:s.
With lots of people,a mod could have a alpha version in 1 month.
